Overview
- A family court issued an interim order giving Rumer Willis primary physical custody while both parents retain joint legal custody.
- The judge set a phased visitation plan that begins with supervised every-other-weekend visits for Derek Richard Thomas and moves toward unsupervised overnights in August.
- The order specifies that Thomas’s supervised visits start on June 20 and initially include a nanny from Willis’s household to monitor contact.
- The court mandated a formal custody evaluation, required both parents to attend co-parenting counseling, and ordered that communication go through a co-parenting app.
- Willis has alleged emotional abuse in filings and Thomas denies those claims, and his attorney says they will present further evidence because the interim order can change after the evaluation and additional hearings.
