Overview
- A Los Angeles judge issued the interim order on June 9 granting Rumer Willis primary physical custody while naming joint legal custody for both parents.
- The judge set a phased visitation plan that begins June 20 with every‑other‑weekend visits monitored by one of Willis’s nannies and moves to unmonitored overnight visits from August 22.
- The court ordered social‑worker and custody evaluations, required both parents to attend co‑parenting counseling, and directed use of the Our Family Wizard messaging app with tight reply rules.
- Willis has alleged prolonged emotional abuse and coercive control that she says traumatized their daughter and filed supporting declarations that include Demi Moore’s account, and Derek Thomas denies those claims and counters that Willis improperly used the child in paid advertising.
- The case remains contested with further hearings and assessments scheduled and the ordered evaluations likely to shape any final custody and parenting‑time decisions.
