When it comes to his one- year-old daughter, dating dad Chris Brown has another rea- son to celebrate: the singer was granted joint custody of his tiny tot Royalty.
Today, Brown and his child’s mother Nia Guzman battled for custody rights in a Houston courtroom. According to TMZ, Guzman only wanted Brown to have visitation with their daughter only under su- pervised circumstances.
But the judge turned down Guzman’s request and ruled in Brown’s favor, giving him joint custody of little Royalty. The judge ruled that every four days the toddler go back and forth between Brown and Guzman, who now resides in L.A. (instead of her previous home in Texas).
The judge also ruled that Chris continue to pay Nia $2,500 a month in child sup- port, turning down her pitch for $15k.
About fatherhood, Chris told Ryan Seacrest this sum- mer, “There comes a time when people kind of have to grow up and become more of an adult and take on different responsi- bilities,”
The Perfect Guy Tops Box Office; 3rd Black Film To Top The Charts In Last 5 Weeks
Bobby Brown and his wife Alicia appeared on The Real on Monday.
The top movie of Friday night, was The Perfect Guy, which snagged a superb $9.95 million opening day.

Bobby Brown has given his first interview over the death of Bobbi Kristina, saying he comforts himself with the be- lief that ex-wife Whitney Houston 'called my daughter with her'.
The singer said in a sit- down with syndicated daytime talk show The Real - the aired Mondaym September 14 - that he and his family did all they could do for his daughter be- fore her July death, six months after she was found uncon- scious in the bathtub of her Georgia home in mysterious circumstances.
'We prayed in hope for six months, you know, for some- thing better to happen, but when God calls you he calls
you,' Brown, supported by wife, Alicia Etheredge Brown, says on the show.
'I'm pretty sure her mother had a part with like (gestures) ''c'mon lets get her up here'' .. in the best way possible.'
Earlier this week, lawyers for Nick Gordon denied allega- tions that he caused Bobbi Kristina's 'wrongful death' and says he tried to resuscitate her when she was unrespon- sive but was unsuccessful.
Gordon's lawyers filed a response on Tuesday to an amended complaint filed last month in a civil lawsuit that accuses him of assault, battery, causing emotional distress and stealing Bobby Kristina's money.
