R&B Singer Usher and his former wife Tameka Raymond have been ordered to work out a temporary custody agreement in private mediation.

Usher, who filed for divorce from Tameka in June 2009 after almost two years of marriage, has been locked in an ongoing battle with his ex after she filed court documents in Georgia last year asking that he be stripped of joint physical custody of their sons Usher, 4, and Naviyd, 3, but a judge at Fulton County Court on Tuesday ordered them to work things out.

According to the judge assigned to their case, when Tameka and Usher return to court, if they have not agreed on terms amongst themselves, he will impose a temporary order, deciding how they will split their time with the children.

At their next hearing, the judge is also expected to address child support payments. Tameka claims Usher is behind on $34,000 worth of payments after promising her $5,000-a-month to pay for a nanny.

She has requested more child support, arguing there has been a ”substantial change” in Usher’s income since they divorced.

Usher and Tameka married on August 3, 2007. Their son, Usher Raymond V, was born later that year in November. Their second child together Nviyd Ely Raymond was born on December 10, 2008.

In June 2009, Usher filed for divorce claiming he and Tameka had been living separately for more than a year.
