The ex-wife of Democratic Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock is seeking a court to compel Warnock to face child custody questioning.
Oulèye Ndoye, Warnock’s former wife, is demanding he submit to questioning by her lawyers as the former couple continue their child custody battle, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Ndoye has accused Warnock of not taking custody of his children during the days of their agreed parenting schedule. The complaint attributes this to Warnock’s campaign for re-election for the Senate.
“Since the time of the occurrence of the final judgment and the decree [Warnock] did not exercise the parental leave plan signed and executed at the time of the divorce,” the original lawsuit, filed in February 2022, reads. “Work commitments began in mid-2020 [Warnock] regularly away from home for long periods of time.”

The complaint also accused Warnock of failing to properly pay childcare costs and making arrangements for his rotating work schedule.
“[Warnock] has failed and refuses to refund [Ndoye] for childcare costs incurred during this time [Warnock’s] time, often leave [Ndoye] without sufficient funds,” the complaint continued. “This is particularly the case on weekdays, since [Warnock] received two weekdays per week which he can no longer fulfill as he is out of the city of Atlanta most days of the week.

Ndoye and Warnock are parents to two children, one born in 2016 and the other in 2018. The couple divorced in 2020, with the court awarding both parties joint custody and Ndoye primary physical custody.
On December 22, 2020, in the days leading up to the much-anticipated Georgia runoff, “Tucker Carlson Tonight” received stunning police bodycam footage from March 2020 of an officer responding to a domestic dispute between Warnock and his then-wife Oulèye Ndoye .

Ndoye claimed he ran over her foot during a heated argument as he tried to drive away with their children in the back seat. Warnock denied her claim and charges were never brought. The two later divorced.
“I’ve tried to keep his behavior a secret for a long time and today he crossed the line,” Ndoye said as she broke down in tears. “So that’s what’s going on here and he’s a great actor. He’s phenomenal at putting on a really good show.”
The Senate race between Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker goes to a runoff on December 6 after neither candidate received 50% of the vote in last week’s midterm elections.
