Singer Madonna and her ex-husband, director Guy Ritchie, have settled a custody dispute over their 16-year-old son Rocco, a court official in New York said on Wednesday (September 7).
It was not immediately announced with which parent the teenager would live.
Madonna, 58, and Ritchie, 47, have been in a legal battle over their son since December, when the teenager ignored a court order to fly back from Ritchie's London home to live with his mother in New York.
The "Material Girl" singer and the director of 2009 film "Sherlock Holmes" married in 2000. After they divorced in 2008, they agreed that Rocco would live with Madonna.
Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for the New York State court system, confirmed the case was officially settled on Wednesday but did not immediately provide further information.
Details of the settlement also were not revealed in online court records. Attorneys for Madonna and Ritchie did not immediately return calls for comment. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
