County Court -- he was seeking full custody of their son, but was denied by the judge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TMZ broke the story ... Jeffrey made some &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2014/05/16/sherri-shepherd-ex-husband-jeffrey-tarpley-custody-son/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;horrendous claims about Sherri&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; neglecting Jeffrey Jr. -- including blaming her for the boy not being able to read or tie his shoe laces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The judge clearly disagreed. In court docs -- obtained by TMZ -- she wrote, \"there has not been a material change in circumstances to grant the request.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After court Sherri asked fans to \"keep the prayers coming\" ... clearly referring to her &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2014/07/21/sherri-shepherd-baby-lawsuit-lamar-sally-birth-certificate/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ongoing battle&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; with estranged husband Lamar Sally.&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\"&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Keep the prayers coming... Still got more battles - please judge me by my character and not from the tabloids who are having a slow news day&lt;/p&gt;\n&amp;#8212; Sherri Shepherd (@SherriEShepherd) &lt;a href=\"https://twitter.com/SherriEShepherd/statuses/491314929907949568\"&gt;July 21, 2014&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
