The divorce petition, details a lot of the travails of their marriage, and includes an unusually graphic litany of complaints against Lakeisha, a nurse’s assistant by trade.
In asking the judge for a parenting plan, court papers allege: ‘The husband is concerned that the wife is addicted to alcohol.’
Williams also alleges Lakeisha left him for ‘a new person’ who has ‘serious criminal, felony charges pending who could impose a danger to the minor child,’ the document reads.

Richard’s current divorce petition accuses Lakeisha of failing to keep a schedule, picking up Dylan after his bed time then returning him to Richard in the middle of the night.
The document adds she allegedly lives with a person of questionable character in an environment that’s not conducive to raising a child.
Richard says this wife abandoned the marital home in August 2016 and left Dylan in his care. Since then, he claims, Lakeisha, has defrauded him in several ways.
She transfered, he alleges, the deed of one of his homes to herself by forging his signature, and then took out a $152,000-mortgage on it after, again, imitating his writing.
He has filed a separate lawsuit against her to reclaim the West Palm Beach house, which he says he bought with ex-wife Oracene Price in 1995.
