The bitter
custody battle between Robin Thicke and Paula Patton for their 6-year-old son
continued again this week and reportedly required a police presence.
TMZ reports that an incident went down on Thursday,
Feb. 16 at a Los Angeles-area park. All parties agree that Paula was supposed
to turn over Julian to a court-appointed monitor so Robin could have his visit.
But that's
about all anyone can agree on, as their son was never handed over.
Paula
currently has a restraining order against her ex-husband that requires him to
keep his distance from her and their son. Sources close to Paula told TMZ that
Robin was at the Malibu park and violated the restraining order by being too
close to Paula when she arrived with her son. Paula's sources told the website
that Julian decided he didn't want to go with his dad and asked his mom to call
911.
Sources in
Robin's camp said he was as the park, but he kept his distance, also adding
that Paula was an hour late for the exchange.
A call was
placed to 911, but Paula and Julian had left by the time police showed up, says
TMZ.
Under the
current court order, Robin gets to visit with his son three times a week, on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each visit lasts a few hours but can only be done
in the presence of a court monitor.
On Feb. 8,
Robin's lawyers pleaded with a judge to amend the order so that he can visit
Julian without the presence the monitor, but a judge upheld the current order.
The judge's
decision came as Robin and Paula are entrenched in a nasty custody battle over their son. In late January,
a judge granted a restraining order against Robin in the wake of concerns that
he'd abused Julian and ordered him to stay away from his
son, Paula and her mother.
Robin has
admitted to spanking his son, but has denied he's abused him.
In early
February, it was reported that Paula had softened on the issue and agreed to let Robin see
Julian a few days a week with a court monitor.
