Usher News

Time will tell if there's love in this courtroom, but a lawyer for Usher's suddenly estranged wife is making clear from the get-go that his client had no love for anyone other than the R&B star during their marriage.

Tameka Raymond's attorney is preemptively nipping in the bud any theories that either infidelity or a third party played a part in the duo's decision to divorce.

"She's a great mom," Randy Kessler said. "She's been a loyal wife. She's trying her best to take the high road and not attack him."

Indeed, perhaps looking toward a possible windfall settlement with the "Love in This Club" singer, nary a mean word has been uttered or even microblogged by Raymond.

Which isn't to say she's ignored the topic completely...

While Raymond, who has two sons with Usher and five overall, has so far refrained from actually mentioning the star by name on her Twitter page, she has occasionally gone there, acknowledging well wishes from fans concerned about the state of her union and posting the odd empowering or inspirational quote.

Usher filed for divorce from the "faithful wife and loving mother" on Friday, after nearly two years of marriage. The now ex-couple are parents to 18-month-old Usher V and 6-month-old Naviyd Ely.

Rumors of their increased estrangement began in February, when Raymond faced life-threatening complications from a liposuction procedure in Brazil.

Kessler says Raymond is now back to fighting form, having fully recovered from the incident.

"She's doing fine," he said. "She's all healed. She's just loving to spend time with her kids."

But not, perhaps, her noisy neighbors.
