Overview
- Willis announced the move on Wednesday, Aug. 12, posting an Instagram reel that thanked Roadway Moving for transporting her belongings roughly 2,000 miles to Nashville and calling it a “new chapter.”
- In June the court awarded Willis primary physical custody of her 3-year-old daughter Louetta while giving both parents joint legal custody and ordering a custody evaluation.
- The June ruling granted Derek Richard Thomas parenting time every other weekend beginning June 20, with visits to start under nanny supervision and then shift to unsupervised overnight visits in August, and it required both parents to attend co-parenting counseling and use a court-ordered app for communication.
- Court filings record Willis’ allegations that Thomas engaged in a pattern of emotional abuse and coercive control and record Thomas’ denials and counterclaims that raise tensions involving Willis’ mother, Demi Moore; those claims remain unresolved in the record.
- Willis’ move to Nashville may force practical changes to the Los Angeles–Idaho meeting locations and travel logistics laid out in the June order, matters the court-ordered custody evaluation is likely to assess next.
