Update On Sharon Stone
Papers released today from a San Francisco Superior Court give more information on Sharon Stone’s custody request from last week. The actress was denied a request to modify custody and move her adopted son, Roan, to her home in Southern California. The judge in the case released papers today outlining the reasoning, with some surprising revelations.
According to People.com, the judge in the case believes Stone does not act in the best interest of the child, and “delegates many of her parenting responsibilities to third parties” and has “simply refused” to participate in counseling unless her “schedule is accommodated and her demands are met.” The judge also notes Stone’s apparent overreactions to issues with her son, citing her suggestion to give him botox for foot odor and insisting he had spinal problems when there was none.
The judge also added, “As Father appropriately noted, the simple and common sense approach of making sure Roan wore socks with his shoes and used foot deodorant corrected.”
Sharon Stone will continue to get visitation with weekends and some holidays.
A lot of divorced parents have disagreements on how to raise their children, which can lead to time consuming and expensive litigation. Courts will usually require the parents to discuss the situation, but allow one parent to have the final decision. Parents can also agree to divide the decision making so that each parent has final decision making authority in separate areas, generally breaking it down into four categories: education, medical, extra-curricular activities, and religious education.
