After Braylon's birth, his parents parted ways. They have, over the years, been in and out of court, suing each other. They have openly fought over custody of their son.

What did Dwight Howard's son, Braylon, do?
In 2020, Dwight's son, Braylon, took to Instagram and accused his father of not being present in his life. He claimed the basketball star does not talk to him, even though he needs his father. He went to the extent of saying he hated his father.
The same year, Royce Reed took to social media to declare that Dwight was a deadbeat dad who never saw his kids.
Christina Vest, Trey's mother, also suggested on her Instagram story that the basketballer has been absent and may have left another one of his children with a babysitter for two months.
Despite being called out on social media, the basketballer did not respond to the accusations that he neglects and ignores his children. Braylon mostly lives with his mom, so he sees his dad sparingly due to the dysfunctional relationship between his parents.
After a lot of prodding, Dwight finally responded to the allegations made by his son. His words indicated a beam of hope for a healthier father-son relationship.
Dwight's son made headlines again. According to court documents acquired by The Shade Room, he has an alleged history of inappropriate conduct with minors.

Reed was slapped with third-degree felony child neglect charges on 10 March 2022. She evaded prison time. She disclosed she had been making him see a treatment counsellor at TrueCore Behavioural Solutions.
