Overview
- On Aug. 30 Willis filed an emergency motion asking the court to continue supervised parenting time and to block overnight visits while the court reviews allegations about her ex’s conduct.
- Derek Richard Thomas formally objected days earlier and asked a judge to enforce the June 9 custody order that set monitored visits to transition to unmonitored overnight time.
- The June 9 Los Angeles Superior Court order gave Willis primary physical custody, joint legal custody to both parents, and barred either parent from removing the child from California without agreement or a court order.
- Willis attached declarations from three nannies and communications that describe alleged rule violations and unsafe incidents during visits, and she accused Thomas of drug use that he and his lawyer strongly deny.
- A court hearing is set for Sept. 10 and a court-ordered 730 custody evaluation is pending, with the outcome likely to determine whether overnight visitation and the parents’ contested relocation to Nashville are permitted.
