Mustard has been granted temporary decision-making authority in his ongoing custody case with ex-wife Chanel Thierry.
According to TMZ, a judge ruled that the producer, born Dijon McFarlane, will have final say over educational matters involving their three children through August 2026.
As part of the ruling, Mustard now holds tie-breaking authority over educational decisions for their children, Kiylan, Kauner, and Kody.
The judge also directed both parents to enter high-conflict co-parenting therapy.
While Mustard requested $30,000 in sanctions, the court declined to issue any financial penalties.
“It is only for five more months from now, so it’s not permanent, and only for educational decisions,” Thierry’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told TMZ.
The ruling comes months after Mustard filed for sole custody in December, raising concerns about Thierry’s recent social media activity and its impact on their co-parenting dynamic.
In court filings, Mustard pointed to several posts he said conflicted with an existing agreement requiring both parents to avoid making negative or disrespectful remarks about one another around their children.
In one post referenced in filings, Thierry wrote, “How did a simple, ‘Can I have the football schedule?’ Turn into you updating your relationship status??! Sir I can give a f*%k less if yall engaged! Congrats! Can someone please send me the mf schedule now!? DAMN!”
She added in another message, “I’m really annoyed. I’ve asked everyone on that side for my baby’s stuff and they keep ignoring me. INSANEEEEEE.”
Mustard’s attorney, Samantha Spector, argued that the posts “negatively impact the best interests” of the children and interfere with effective co-parenting. The court ultimately determined that some of the posts did not align with that order.
The former couple finalized their divorce in 2024 after four years of marriage. As part of the settlement, Thierry received $315,000 in spousal support along with $24,000 per month in child support.
