THE FORMER NFL player turned daytime host Michael Straham's court battle with ex-wife Jean Strahan just turned uglier as he is now claiming she is "physically and emotionally abusing" their twin daughters.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, the 48-year-old is asking for primary custody.
Michael claimed in the documents that his ex-wife has been engaging in a "pattern of abusive conduct towards the children for years".
He also claimed to have proof of the abuse and will detail them in sealed documents.
According to TMZ, he also allegedly said that Jean is failing at taking their 15-year-old twin daughters to court-ordered therapy sessions and keeps them from attending their volleyball and equestrian events.
In the documents, Jason also allegedly states that he wants primary custody of the girls and wants Jean to be held in criminal and civil contempt for her alleged actions.
If awarded custody, the girls would move to New York City with him as they currently live in North Carolina with their mother.
As for Jean, he's asking she only gets visitation rights.
Michael and Jean were in court back in January 2020 over child support.
After their nasty divorce in 2006, Jean was awarded $15.3 million and $18,000 a month in child support.
But in 2009, child support was decreased to $13,000 – which prompted Jean accusing Michael of owing her over $500,000 in support.
