Rumer Willis, the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, has been granted primary custody of her three-year-old daughter Louetta after a long legal battle with her former partner. Both parents will share legal custody, while the father gets the right to weekend visits, with overnight stays allowed only from August - first supervised, then without.

Behind the dry wording of the ruling sits something heavier. The 37-year-old actress accused her former partner of a pattern of "extreme emotional abuse", part of which, she claims, happened in front of the child or while they were locked in a car together. He denied all of it: "I have not committed any act of domestic violence, nor any kind of coercive control," he said through a lawyer.

The court did not rule on the accusations directly, but on what every court does in cases like this - it weighed what was before it and decided where the child would be safer. Alongside custody, it also ordered both parents to go through joint parenting therapy and to communicate only through a dedicated app. When two adults can no longer talk directly, the phone becomes the intermediary.

To the public this is another story about a famous surname, but behind the cascade of names - Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, a Hollywood lineage - sits an entirely ordinary drama that plays out in thousands of homes without cameras. Rumer explained her decision to leave with a sentence that has nothing to do with fame: "I realised that the situation I was in would never look the way I wanted it to, no matter how hard I tried."
