Keith Sweat, Lisa Hartwell Head Back to Court

MEDIATAKEOUT - - Earlier this year, Lisa Hartwell took her baby's father Keith Sweat to court - to get back custody of their two sons, Jordan and Justin. 1990s R&B star Keith and Lisa were married in 1991, but went through a VERY BITTER divorce.

During the divorce proceedings, some STUFF came out about Lisa that made the judge award full custody of the children to Keith (We ain't gonna say what that STUFF was - but I'm sure you can guess). Well anyway, now Lisa tells Star Magazine WHY she wants her boys back.

Here’s an excerpt from Star's report:
“I've already been seeing them four or five times a week, but now the time has come when I want to have them with me full-time,” Lisa, 38, tells Star. “I immediately filed for an appeal after the verdict, but I was never given a court date in five years. I've been afraid of the judicial system, but I'm finally taking the bull by the horns and trying to get my boys back again!”

To that end, Lisa has an October hearing scheduled at Fulton County (Georgia) Superior Court. And if she's successful, the next step will be having Jordan and Justin appear on RHOA. Their father - whom Lisa married in 1991 - has so far refused to sign a waiver allowing them to appear, she tells Star. “If Keith has a hang-up about our sons being on TV, I would be fine with that. But Real Housewives is supposed to be a reality series, and the reality is that all the fans watching believe I only have one child,” says Lisa, who appears on the series with her husband, Ed Hartwell, and their 2-year-old son, EJ.

“Jordan and Justin understand what the show involves, and they'd love to do it. I adore all three of my sons - and I believe they all have a rightful place on the show.”
