( CNN ) -- A North Carolina woman is alleging that `` American Idol '' winner Fantasia Barrino engaged in an affair with her husband , and says in court documents that the pair `` recorded '' their sexual encounters . Paula Cook , who separated from her husband , Antwaun Cook , in June , filed the documents -- seeking child custody , alimony and other monetary support -- Wednesday in Mecklenburg County District Court . The documents allege Antwaun Cook began the affair with Barrino , 26 , in August 2009 after the pair met at a Charlotte-area T-Mobile store where Cook is employed . Barrino -- the 2004 winner of the popular Fox show and an eight-time Grammy nominee -- treated Cook to a lavish lifestyle over the course of their affair , flying him to Atlanta , Georgia ; Miami , Florida ; New York ; Los Angeles , California ; and Barbados , the documents allege . The pair `` have at times recorded their illicit sexual activity , '' according to the documents . A month after Paula Cook separated from her husband , Barrino is alleged to have interrupted a phone conversation between the estranged couple , telling Cook , `` He do n't want you . Maybe the next time you get a husband you 'll know how to keep him . That 's why he is here with me , '' according to the documents . Barrino has appeared publicly with a tattoo on her left shoulder reading `` Cook , '' an apparent tribute to Antwaun Cook , who is said to have a similar tattoo in the same place on his shoulder , according to the documents . The alleged affair was first reported in November by gossip magazines and websites . Barrino and her record label Sony Music declined to comment on the documents Sunday . Paula Cook says that as a result of the affair , her husband became more and more withdrawn from their marriage , attributing late nights and other absences to work , the documents say . `` As [ Paula Cook ] contemplated ways to save her marriage and family , [ Antwaun Cook ] and Ms. Barrino continued to enjoy their open and notorious relationship without her knowledge and/or consent , '' the documents say . Paula Cook is seeking custody of her two children , ages 6 and 2 , with Antwaun Cook , as well as child support , alimony , attorney 's fees and ownership of the couple 's former marital home .
