An Alabama Court feels Martell Holt blatantly disregarded court orders on counseling and punishment.

“Love and Marriage: Huntsville” stars Martell Holt and Melody Shari Rodgers were in court this week for a hearing in their ongoing custody dispute.

The hearing pertained to Melody and her attorney, who filed an emergency motion.

The emergency motion is to enforce previous orders that Martell undergo psychological evaluations and counseling with their minor son.

As previously reported by Urban Belle, Melody originally filed a grievance against Martell last July, accusing Martell of using corporal punishment against their children.

This included allegations of punching and choking their son. These allegations left a sour feeling amongst many LAMH fans.

The judge over the case issued an order that seems to be a scathing rebuke of Martell’s behavior. It appears Martell had an apparent blatant disregard for the court’s orders.

The court document for the order, obtained exclusively by Urban Belle, declared on March 9th, 2022, that Martell “get involved with counseling with their minor son” per the previous decrees.

Another order issued in September 2022 forbids Martell from using corporal punishment.

Per the order, the court declared Martell failed to seek the psychological evaluation. It took the emergency motion for Martell to comply almost two years later.

The court felt convinced that Martell blatantly ignored the order and used corporal punishment against their children.

The counselor declared an expert by the court found that Martell’s disregard of the orders of counseling, their children reported emotional backlash.

Melody Rodgers scores a win in her ongoing custody battle with Martell Holt.

As a result of the court’s declarations, Martell is now at serious risk of losing his visitation rights to his children.

He has been ordered to comply with the original order of weekly counseling immediately and participate in twice-monthly family counseling with his children.

Failure to comply with this order will result in losing his visitation rights.

Martell must also pay Melody Shari $7,000 towards her legal fees. He must also schedule his remaining visits for his psychological evaluation.

Their next hearing for this case is October 16th, 2024.
