Post Malone just notched a legal win in his ongoing custody fight after his ex-girlfriend, Hee Sung “Jamie” Park, officially withdrew her California court petition to relocate their daughter from Utah to Los Angeles.
The 29-year-old rapper and singer had been locked in a legal back-and-forth with Park since April over where their 3-year-old daughter should live.
Park, who moved to California last fall following their breakup, had been seeking primary custody in Los Angeles. However, Post argued that their daughter has spent nearly her entire life in Utah and should remain there.
Park dropped her California case earlier this week with prejudice, meaning she cannot refile it. The decision came just days before a scheduled court hearing.
The couple will now continue their custody proceedings in Utah, where Post had already filed his own case.
In a May court filing, Post accused Park of manipulating the legal process, stating she “intentionally” failed to inform the court that their daughter has lived in Utah since birth.
His legal team described her California petition as “gamesmanship.” Despite the legal wrangling, Post expressed a willingness to co-parent.
“I do intend to work cooperatively with Jamie to ensure that (the child) has frequent and equal custodial time with her mother,” he wrote.
