Montel Williams at Center of Child Custody Dispute

A well-known TV personality is involved in a legal dispute…with his own children!

Montel Williams, best known for his daytime talk show “The Montel Williams Show”, is being asked to step up to the plate by his own children. Although Williams is current on his $18,700-a-month child support payments, his two kids say they want their dad to start taking a more active role in their lives or step out of the way. They said if Williams isn’t interested in taking a more active involvement in their lives then he should step aside and let their mother make all of their legal decisions.

That is not their only request. The kids, ages 16 and 15, want Williams to pay for an attorney to argue their case. But according Williams’ own attorney, he is currently in an “extremely perilous” financial situation.

Despite his recent successes, which includes hosting radio show, writing a best-selling memoir, and staring as an infomercial pitchman, Williams claims he cannot afford to pay the $7,500 in legal fees his kids are asking for their lawyer.

Meanwhile, Williams’ custody fight with his ex-wife, Grace Morley, rages on. Although Williams and Morley currently have joint custody, his children say they rarely see their father. His daughter, Wintergrace, says she has only seen her father four times in the last five years. Morley is now trying to gain sole physical and legal custody of the children, but Williams is fighting to hold on to his legal custody rights so he can continue making legal decisions.
