Sharon Stone Sans Son
Sharon Stone doesn’t even get a Sliver of custody!
Entertainment Tonight reports that Sharon Stone has lost physical custody of her 8-year-old son Roan. 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.”
Roan will remain with Bronstein unless Stone relocates to San Francisco or Bronstein decides to move. “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.”
Popsquire’s perspective…
It’s important to remember that physical custody simply refers to a child’s residence and does not preclude visitation rights. If Sharon does not live in SF, then it doesn’t really make sense for the parents to share physical custody. Courts generally favor stability for kids, including consistency in where they attend school and participate in extracurricular activities.
Wait I’m so confused – why did she lose custody of her son? I had no idea this was coming. Need more info….
