Linkin Park vocalist, Chester Bennington, is splitting up with his wife of nine years Samantha. The reason for the break-up, as cited in court papers, is irreconcilable differences and now the couple are battling over custody rights to their three-year-old son, Draven.

In case of child custody, Bennington once claims that his spouse is trying to limit his visitation rights, saying "I have every ability to care and nurture him."

While their legal divorce is still in process, the husband and wife have agreed not make any defamatory remarks about each other in front of Draven. Moreover, the documents also note that neither Bennington nor Samantha shall allow another adult to sleep in bed with them if Draven is sleeping in his bed in the same room.
