Madonna no longer needs to be hung up in court over guardianship of her son Rocco Ritchie. The Queen of Pop and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie have settled their months-long custody battle for their 16-year-old son.
According to ABC News, the teenage boy will remain in London with his father. An attorney for Guy told the station, "Guy Ritchie is delighted to have this case behind him. Everybody in the family is happy that an agreement has been reached, and Rocco can continue to live with his father in London."

The former couple had been involved in the transatlantic custody battle since December, after Rocco left his mother's concert tour to live with his dad and then refused to return to the States after being ordered by a judge.
