He also explains how Max obtained the injury.

‘Christina is a wonderful mother and was not present in the park when Max fell and hurt himself,’ he wrote.

‘To imply that she had something to do with this incident, without any investigation on your part whatsoever, is reckless and unconscionable.

‘…We reserve all our client’s legal and equitable remedies for this reputable disparagement of our client’s character.’

He signs off in capped letters writing, ‘HAVE YOU NO SHAME!!!!’

Max was seen with the nasty looking bruise on his face as he clung onto his mother at LAX airport, yesterday.

It is unknown how Christina’s son obtained the injury, but he was certainly finding comfort in the arms of his mother.

Max held on tight to the platinum blonde singer as they made their way through terminal.

At some points Christina cradled and cuddled the little one, wrapping him up in a warm blanket.

Christina recently opened up to W magazine about how she plans to stay on good terms with her former husband Jordan Bratman, for the sake of their son.

‘I will not have my son grow up in a tension-filled home,’ she said.

She is currently enjoying a break after her successful stint as a coach on NBC hit talent programme The Voice.

She appeared alongside Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Cee-Lo Green in the show, which was a ratings success.
