Madonna and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie have found themselves involved in a heated custody battle over their 15-year-old son Rocco.
Rocco apparently has become sick of touring with his pop-star mom and is refusing to spend the holidays with her in Manhattan, according to Page Six. When he disobeyed his Mom's orders to board a plane in London, where he's been staying with his filmmaker father, she immediately went to court to force him to return to New York.
Earlier today, a judge ruled that Rocco return to New York to be with his mother. "[Rocco] has expressed very clearly that he does not want to return to New York," Ritchie's lawyer Eric Buckley said in court, according to The New York Daily News.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kaplan has suggested that Rocco discuss things with his mother and figure out which parent he prefers, explaining that he will receive his own court-appointed attorney.
"I'm granting you all the relief you have requested," Kaplan told Madonna, 57. "I'm directing the child to be returned to New York. If he wants to stay with his father, he must return to his mother."
Rocco had been traveling with Madonna across the world on her Rebel tour for the last two months. "The boy said he didn't want to stay with her," a source told Page Six. "He's not getting along with his mom, which is not a surprise for a child that age."
The two were married for seven years before they split in 2008, according to People. They also adopted their son David Banda, who is now 10, in 2006. Madonna also has two daughter, Lourdes Leon, 19, and Mercy James, 9. Ritchie has three children, Rafael, Levi and Rivka, with his model wife Jacqui Ainsley, who he married in July.
