After Braylon's birth, his parents had a fallout that led to their separation.

Their battle became intense in 2010 when Dwight picked up Braylon from daycare without informing Reed, and she called the police on him.
The custody battle went on year after another until they finally decided to become cordial for the sake of their son. However, it might not have played out as well as years later, Reed reported the young boy had had a difficult relationship with his father.
