Melanie Martin says Aaron Carter would be “ecstatic” after knowing about custody

• Melanie Martin says Aaron would be overjoyed to learn that she had reclaimed full custody.
• Carter “took it pretty hard when [their] son got taken away.”
• Aaron’s mother told the source that she was happy with the outcome because “the child should remain with the mother.”

Melanie Martin says Aaron Carter would be overjoyed to learn that she had reclaimed full custody of their son, Prince. “I know Aaron would have been ecstatic,” the late singer’s on-again, off-again fiancée told People on Friday.

“This victory is in his honor. I only wish Aaron could be here to share this moment with me.”

Martin claims that sometime in September, Carter “took it pretty hard when their son got taken away.”

The “I Want Candy” singer revealed that the pair had temporarily lost custody of their child owing to domestic violence and drug usage issues during that month, adding that Prince was in Martin’s mother’s care.

After the verdict was made on Thursday, Jane, Aaron’s mother, told the source that she was happy with the outcome because “the child should remain with the mother.”

Despite the fact that she has yet to meet Prince, who celebrated his first birthday less than three weeks after Aaron’s death on November 5, Jane stated that she does not “need the money” for herself or the rest of her renowned family.

Martin, 30, seemed to be in agreement.

“I don’t want any problems or stress over Aaron’s estate,” she told Us Weekly last month. “I just want Prince to be taken care of and want Aaron’s legacy to live on.”

She added that “whoever wants to be in Prince’s life can be in Prince’s life.”

Aaron passed away without leaving a will, so Jane requested her daughter Angel, the singer’s twin, to apply to be the executor of his estate.

According to California succession laws, the pop star’s kid will likely inherit his personal property and real estate holdings, which are estimated to be worth about $500,000.

Martin, who described herself as “devastated,” said that she “did everything to help” Aaron, who battled addiction and mental illness, in the days preceding his unexpected death.

Several cans of compressed air and prescription pill bottles were apparently found in the bathroom where Aaron’s body was located, however, an official cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
