Custody woes have reached a new high for Darius McCrary who plans to battle it out in court for full physical custody of his son. The actor moved to open a case with the Michigan court system after Zechariah became hysterical at the idea of returning home to his mother.
TMZ reports,
“Everything unraveled last week at LAX, when he was putting his 7-year-old boy on a Michigan-bound plane to return to his mom. The boy had a tantrum and cops were called.
According to the police report, McCrary told officers the boy was terrified to return home because his stepfather had physically abused him back in January. Cops then spoke with to the boy and got the same story.
Cops got the message and allowed Darius to leave the airport with his son. The Dept. of Children and Family Services was notified, and that triggered a court battle.”
Darius initially refused to return Zechariah to his mother and presented his case before a Los Angeles judge. The judge, however, informed the actor that he must go through the Michigan court system for custody since that is where Zechariah resides with his mom.
No comment from Zechariah’s mother has been released.
