Things have finally settled between Uma Thurman and Arpad Busson. The former couple went through a bitter custody battle for 4-year-old daughter Luna but an agreement has been reached Friday.
Thurman will have primary custody of their little girl while Busson has monthly visitations. The exes both agreed to the terms of a 39-page deal that Justice Matthew Cooper said was a "strict roadmap" on how the parents should be sharing their responsibilities for Luna.
"At this point, Luna has all the advantages in life. She has two parents who love her, two parents who amply provide for her," the judge said, Page Six reports. The judge also advised the parents to set aside their anger towards each other so that they can co-parent well.
After the court hearing, Thurman told reporters that she was happy to finally get closure on the custody battle. Busson was in his London home that day but he has signed the agreement before he left.
According to New York Daily News, Busson was OK with Thurman having primary custody especially since the child has been living with her mother since her birth. The father, however, was seeking to get reliable access to his child with regular visits and some weekends together. He fought for more time with his daughter in the custody battle.
A psychologist who testified for the court said Thurman and Busson can never be in the same room together and the hostile relationship would be bad for Luna. In the custody trial, which took at least eight days, both parties threw accusations at each other about drug abuse or sleeping with prostitutes.
Thurman and Busson were in an on-and-off relationship from 2007 to 2014. They were engaged two times but did not end up walking down the aisle. Thurman gave birth to Luna in 2012 and has two teenage kids with ex-husband Ethan Hawke who are also living with her.
