James Brown's Partner Files Motion
Wednesday, April 04, 2007
AIKEN, S.C. - The woman who claims to be James Brown's fourth wife has
selected a special guardian she wants appointed for her son, the first step
toward determining the child's paternity.
A DNA test proving the paternity of Tomi Rae Hynie's son, James Brown II,
cannot be done without appointing a special guardian, her attorney Robert
Rosen said Tuesday.
Brown's trustees have already presented a list of attorneys to serve as the
special guardian. Hynie's petition asks that Charleston attorney Stephen M.
Slotchiver be appointed.
A message left for Slotchiver was not returned Tuesday. A court hearing to
appoint the special guardian has been scheduled for later this month, Rosen
said.
Last month, Brown's trustees filed a motion, asking a judge to order DNA
taken from Hynie's son. "Her public position has always been that she has no
objection to a DNA test," Rosen said.
Hynie, who was a backup singer for Brown, and the young son were not
included in the singer's will. Brown died Dec. 25 in an Atlanta hospital and
his body was placed in a crypt at the home of one of his daughters last
month.
