On December 15, TMZ reported that Martin was found fit to care for his son at a hearing held in Los Angeles and was awarded full custody.
“I am honoring Aaron today and I know he would be very proud of me. I’m so excited thinking we could have been a family, but Aaron would be so happy knowing I got him back,’ she said.
Aaron’s mother, Jane Schneck, agreed with the decision, adding: “The child must be with the mother.”
Stepping up after loss: Her latest sighting comes after news broke that she regained full custody of her and Carter’s baby earlier this month.
Prince was removed from Aaron and Melanie’s care over alleged concerns about drug use and domestic violence during the couple’s on-again-off-again affair.
This escalated into a protracted custody battle with the couple frequently rekindling and ending their romance.
Earlier this year, Carter filed for custody of their son and a petition for protection against Martin in the Antelope Valley courthouse in Los Angeles County.

In a series of now-deleted tweets from November 28, Schneck accused his partner Martin of berating his late son for money and profiting from his death. She began the messages: “My baby is dead,” before adding: “I’ve been warning you for two years. She almost made it home.
But now Jane is trying to make amends with Melanie, it has been claimed.
Stepping up after loss: Carter said she wanted to focus on regaining custody of her year-old son Prince before she entered rehab before her death.
Aaron began dating Melanie in 2020 and got engaged in June of the same year, before having their son, Prince, in November 2021.
They lived apart when the singer was found dead. It is said that her mother, Jane, never knew her son.
According to TMZMelanie has said that she and Jane had a “pretty good relationship” before Aaron died.
Aaron’s family will hold a private memorial service for the singer in 2023, when they will reportedly scatter his ashes. Melanie said that she has been invited to the ceremony and still wants Jane to meet Prince after Christmas.
