Singer Jack Avery Fights Ex's Visitation Plea

Singer Jack Avery is actively opposing his ex-partner Gabbie Gonzalez's requests for visitation and video calls with their 7-year-old daughter, Lavender. The legal maneuvering comes amidst a significant custody case scheduled for trial on October 20 and 21. Avery contends that Gonzalez's actions aim to circumvent the trial without demonstrating any immediate danger to Lavender.

This dispute emerges four months after Gonzalez's arrest, in connection with an alleged murder-for-hire plot targeting Avery. Prosecutors claim she collaborated with her father and another individual in the scheme, though she has pleaded not guilty. Avery asserts that Lavender is currently "happy, healthy, and thriving" under his care, participating in school and extracurricular activities.

Supporting Avery's position, two women have submitted declarations to the court. His ex-girlfriend Alexis Abner and former foster parent Shelly Woodcox expressed concerns about Gonzalez potentially speaking negatively about Avery to Lavender. They worry that renewed contact could confuse and cause emotional distress to their daughter, exacerbating pre-existing anxieties.
