When Scarlett Johansson filed for divorce from Romain Dauriac, she also requested residential custody of their daughter Rose, which Dauriac took issue with as he reportedly served as Rose’s caretaker while the actor was away for work. Speaking with E! News, Dauriac’s lawyer, Hal Myerson, noted that Dauriac was the “primary custodial parent” and that he “desperately” wanted Johansson to be more present in their daughter’s life. “You can’t have schedules switching all the time. How do you explain that to a child? She’s allowed to have her career, and there will be a certain degree of flexibility — but not to suit her schedule or Mr. Dauriac’s,” Myerson explained. “It will be one that suits the child.”
In a statement shared with the outlet, Dauriac — who wanted Rose to live in France with him — also expressed disappointment at Johansson for making their “personal differences so public.” He added: “I would implore her to withdraw her action promptly and go back, as uncomfortable as it might be, to the negotiating table. We are the parents of a lovely daughter whom we will continue to co-parent for many years and share her joys and sorrows as only a parent can.”

Finally, after much back and forth, Johansson and Dauriac were able to reach an agreement, although what was outlined in it was never made public, as the couple submitted a sealed settlement to the Manhattan courts. Months later, TMZ reported they were spotted together Christmas shopping with Rose, so it’s probably safe to say that things worked out well for the family.
