Sarunas Jackson and DomiNique Perry Engage in Custody Battle for Daughter

Sarunas Jackson, former star of "Insecure," has filed for joint custody of his five-year-old daughter Zen, sparking a custody battle with her mother, actress DomiNique Perry. Perry claims that Zen has lived in Houston since birth and only visits California when she books acting gigs. She argues that she has been the primary caregiver and has not prevented Jackson from being involved in their daughter's life. The dispute arose when Perry decided to move to Texas full-time due to financial constraints, and Jackson filed the court case without informing her. The situation is further complicated by Jackson's brother's recent legal issues involving alleged abuse of Keke Palmer, which has garnered negative attention.
