A judge ruled that Stone's ex-husband Phil Bronstein "shall have permanent sole physical custody" of the boy because the former newspaper publisher was found able to "provide a more structured continuity, stable, secure and consistent home that...Roan needs."
TMZ.com reports that this order has been made permanent, pending a change in circumstances of either Stone or Bronstein. Specifically if Stone relocates to San Francisco, where Bronstein and now Roan reside, or if Bronstein moves away from the Bay Area.
Stone retains her rights to have access to the child, with the court ordering that her number be programmed into the boy's home and cell phones.
Last spring Stone filed court papers seeking a change in the boy's primary residence. At the time, Bronstein, the former San Francisco Chronicle editor, retained primary custody of their son, as he now will continue to do.
The former couple tied the knot in 1998 and divorced in 2004; they adopted Roan back in 2000. Stone adopted sons Laird in May 2005, and Quinn in June 2006.
A perfunctory subsequent hearing to address attorney's fees in the matter has been set for Nov. 18.
