Jaime Kingand her estranged husbandKyle Newman’s custody battle is far from over.
The exes share two sons: Leo Thames, 6, and James Knight, 8.
Per the documents, King and Newman’s former nanny, Olivia Messier, has been called to testify about “what she personally observed with regards to her care and supervision of the minor children as well as her interactions with the minor children” and the former pair.
Additionally, court docs stated that Newman and King had a custody dispute in early June, leading Newman to file an emergency Ex Parte application in an attempt to change their custody arrangement and gain “sole legal and physical custody” of their kids.
Newman’s request was eventually denied, per the docs, but will be heard when the two appear in court on June 24. King must also serve and file a Responsive Declaration no later than June 20.
Attorneys for Newman and King did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
