According to minutes from a September 12, 2008 custody hearing, a Superior Court judge ruled that Stone's ex-husband Phil Bronstein "shall have permanent sole physical custody" of the child because the former newspaper editor was found able to "provide a more structured continuity, stable, secure and consistent home that...Roan needs." and "The court does not find that (a) move away is in child's best interest," say the minutes.
