Between 2017 and 2020, Hernandez and Stevie J engaged in a series of grueling legal standoffs over child support, visitation rights, and primary custody in Georgia and Florida courts. The custody dispute reached a boiling point in August 2019, when a judge temporarily granted primary custody of Bonnie Bella to Stevie J after Hernandez reportedly failed to permit scheduled visitation. An arrest warrant was briefly issued, signaling the rockiest moment in their shared parental history.
Rather than spiraling into permanent warfare, the incident served as a wake-up call. The pair returned to mediation, ultimately securing an updated co-parenting arrangement that balanced physical custody, split holidays, and established substantial child-support structures. Over the following years, both figures made deliberate efforts to stop trading barbs online.
By 2021, public joint appearances showed a united front. Hernandez praised Stevie J for stepping up as an involved father, while Stevie publicly credited Hernandez for providing Bonnie Bella with strong educational footing and discipline. Today, Bonnie Bella splits her time smoothly between her mother's base in Miami and her father's family, keeping clear of courtroom interference.
