Madonna has given up on trying to force her teenage son to live with her.
“The case is settled and everyone agrees that the Rocco’s needs changed and he’s going to be living with dad,” said Peter Bronstein, attorney for the boy’s father Guy Ritchie.
“Everyone’s agreed to that and there’s no further need for any kind of a court case,” Bronstein said.
A New York state court spokesman confirmed the settlement was filed on Tuesday.
Madonna sued her filmmaker ex last year after Rocco Ritchie, 16, refused to come home to New York to spend the winter holidays with his mom.
The rebellious teen snubbed a judge’s order to return from London, where he was living with his father.
He was sick of touring with his pop-star parent and was happily enrolled in school in the UK, sources told The Post at the time.
“Rocco is of an age where he cannot be physically compelled on a plane to come back to New York because he doesn’t want to,” Bronstein said in court in March.
In response, Madonna’s attorney, Eleanor Alter, slammed Ritchie’s parenting skills.
The “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” director “taught his son that obeying court orders and a signed agreement is not necessarily important,” Alter said last spring.
“And I think that’s one of the most serious things that has happened in this case and is detrimental to Rocco,” she said.
A court-appointed guardian for Rocco said the custody battle was weighing on her young client.
“In almost every conversation, he has stressed to me how stressful it is . . . to have this order over his head . . . to have the uncertainty,” said the law guardian, Ellen Sigal.
The judge, Deborah Kaplan, said she was “extremely troubled” by the dispute and urged the parties to settle.
Alter declined to comment on the deal.
It was inked the same day Madonna posted a photo of herself on Instagram and Twitter sending her two adopted children, Mercy James and David Banda Mwale Ciccone Ritchie, both 10, off to their first day of school.
On Wednesday she updated her social-media profiles with a cryptic image of a crown drawn over her forehead and the word “bitch” scrawled across her body. She added the caption, “Because sometimes soccer Mom’s [sic] need to be a …….,.,,……..”
