Sharon Stone has lost custody of her 8 year-old son Roan to her ex-husband Phil Bronstein.
According to ET,
“According to court documents detailing a September 12, 2008 custody hearing, Phil Bronstein “shall have permanent sole physical custody of child. Court finds that Respondent (Sharon Stone) failed to meet her burden of proof and denies Respondent’s (Sharon Stone’s) request for modification of custody. The judge also notes this order is permanent unless there is a change of circumstances.”
According to the minutes of the official court order,
“The court does not find that (a) move away is in child’s best interest,” say the minutes. “(Bronstein) can provide a more structured continuity, stable, secure, and consistent home that child, Roan, needs.” (To view the document click here)
The order has been made permanent, pending a change in circumstances of either Stone or Bronstein, like change of residence. Judging by the stipulations, Stone was trying to seek a modification of the previous custody arrangement to get more time with her oldest son, as the order stated that the “court does not find that move away is in child’s best interest.”
While she has lost physical custody, Stone retains her rights to have access to the child. Stone “shall have access to child,” the minutes say, and her phone number “shall be programmed into the child’s telephone and home phone.”
The former couple tied the knot in 1998 and divorced in 2004; they adopted Roan back in 2000.
Stone has two other children, sons Laird, whom she adopted in May 2005, and Quinn, whom she adopted in June 2006.
A perfunctory subsequent hearing to address attorney’s fees in the matter has been set for Nov. 18.
