A doctor involved in the case strongly advised against Roan's move to Los Angeles because it would require taking the boy out of school and moving him away from educators and care givers he's familiar with in the Bay Area. The judge agreed.
And then the court says, "Another example of an overreaction is that Mother suggested that Roan should have Botox injections in his feet to resolve a problem he had with foot odor. As Father appropriately noted, the simple and common sense approach of making sure Roan wore socks with his shoes and used foot deodorant corrected the odor problem without the need for any invasive procedure on this young child."
The judge goes on: "Unfortunately, the problem caused by Mother's overreactions is painfully real for this child."
The judge says at one point, responding to Stone's argument that she put her career on hold for Roan, "if Mother has, in fact, limited her career to make herself available for Roan, she has done little to make this evident to Roan, his school or this Court."
Ouch.

Court papers show there has been tension over son Roan's custody since Stone and Bronstein's separation in 2004. Stone had initially asked a judge to give her sole physical custody of her son because she says she's been Roan's primary caretaker since his infancy, adding it was in the child's best interest that he live with her in L.A.
Bronstein disputed this, claiming Stone was "delegating to a series of full time [24-hour] nannies throughout the period of time [after Roan was adopted] up to separation."
The couple initially agreed to a schedule of temporary joint custody --Roan would spend three weeks with Stone in L.A. and three weeks with Bronstein in San Francisco. Then, in 2005, they agreed to a rotating schedule -- two years with Stone and two years with Bronstein. Roan was due to move back to Los Angeles with Stone in 2009.A doctor involved in the case strongly advised against Roan's move to Los Angeles because it would require taking the boy out of school and moving him away from educators and care givers he's familiar with in the Bay Area. The judge agreed.
The judge ordered Roan to stay put with Bronstein, reports "EXTRA." The court docs indicate Stone will have visitation one weekend a month and have Roan on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. In addition, the papers confirm the custody agreements for major holidays, summer breaks, Roan's medical coordinator conditions and more.
In an even more shocking development, TMZ reports the judge said "[Stone] appears to overreact to many medical issues involving Roan." In one case, the judge describes Stone believing Roan had a spinal condition, but "there was no evidence to support this allegation."And then the court says, "Another example of an overreaction is that Mother suggested that Roan should have Botox injections in his feet to resolve a problem he had with foot odor. As Father appropriately noted, the simple and common sense approach of making sure Roan wore socks with his shoes and used foot deodorant corrected the odor problem without the need for any invasive procedure on this young child."
The judge goes on: "Unfortunately, the problem caused by Mother's overreactions is painfully real for this child."
The judge says at one point, responding to Stone's argument that she put her career on hold for Roan, "if Mother has, in fact, limited her career to make herself available for Roan, she has done little to make this evident to Roan, his school or this Court."
Ouch.

I’ve heard of botox being used on people to help them with excessive sweating before. On the Discovery Health Channel on a show called “Medical Incredible” this poor young woman, in her late teens sweated so much her skin was dripping. She had a condition where her sweat glands were malfunctioning. So they used botox injections to paralyze key glands to keep her from sweating too much. But this girl had severe problems with sweating, she couldn’t even hold a pencil in her hand because it would slip right out! there’s a huge difference between a serious medical problem and foot oder. I’ve always thought Sharon Stone was wacko, this just proves it. Poor kid!

I can’t believe any judge would approve a “2 years here, 2 years there” custody arrangement. That’s just ludicrous! What possible benefit would it have to the child to uproot their whole life to go live with the other parent for two years? It doesn’t even make sense.

oh cristine don’t believe everything you read. And how she treats her son’s foot oder is her business. Not anyone elses. Extra isn’t exactly the New York Times. It’s a tabloid for god’s sake.

And why does Extra think anybody cares about this? A custody battle is between the two parents not the whole world. For goodness sakes, Extra should be sued for this. That and every other vicious, lying story they write! That goes for the rest of the media, too!

Tsk tsk, it isn’t pleasant to be the parent that goes away with out your kid. It is not impossible to see where the judge in the case may not have wanted that “typical” Hollywood life style for Roan. It is hard enough to be adopted, there is no easy way to accept what ever the reasons were, that you were chosen to be given up for adoption in the first place. It is such an enigma that families with their own children have, that kids at times rebel and repel their own parents, but the kid that is adopted has a longing to know who his parents were or are. This young man was lucky to (I would hope) to be adopted into not only a family, but a wealthy family. But yet, the judge paused to think over what her husband laid out as unfair towards the raising of their child as far as being with 24 hour a day nannies. No matter how good they are, they are not the parent(s). In the case of Roan, it is definitely in his best interest to have a parent who can be present for at least part of the child’s life, and hopefully create a environment where this child can thrive.
