Mel B has
made a major change to her divorce petition ... she does not want to share joint
custody with Stephen Belafonte for 2 reasons ... a domestic violence
conviction, and a gun.
TMZ broke
the story ... when Mel B filed for divorce last month she said she wanted joint
legal and physical custody. Sources connected with Mel tell TMZ at the time she
had no idea Stephen had a conviction for domestic violence involving another
baby mama. She also didn't know the conviction prohibited him to possess a gun.
As we
reported, Mel knew he had a gun and was not happy about it, especially since
she alleges he repeatedly committed domestic violence against her. But we're
told after recently finding out the gun was illegal to possess, she decided to
change her custody strategy.
We're told
Mel, who just got a temporary restraining order which prohibits Belafonte from
having any contact with her 3 children, will go back to court and make the
restraining order permanent.
Our sources
also say in the divorce case, she does not want Stephen to have any contact
with 2 of her kids, one of whom is 10-year-old Angel, whose dad is Eddie
Murphy, and 18-year-old Phoenix -- a child from another marriage.
We're told
Mel might ultimately be ok with giving Belafonte monitored visits with their
child, 5-year-old Madison, but not now.
Belafonte
has asked for joint legal and physical custody of Madison.
