In 2016, when Lisa Marie Presley filed for divorce, Harper and her twin sister, Finley, were eight years old and both Lisa and Michael wanted to keep the twins as such they went into a tough custody battle.

However, as a result of Lisa’s drug addiction and the child abuse accusation against Michael, Harper and her twin sister stayed with their grandmother, Priscilla Presley until the case was resolved.
After about five years of legal brouhaha, the court finally gave Michael and Lisa joint custody of the twins, however, the twins stayed 60% of the time with their mother and the remaining 40% with their father. Lisa was ordered by the court to pay Michael child support of $4,641 every month seeing that she was the richer person.
