After an emotional custody battle, an Orange County judge ruled that Jesse James will get physical custody of daughter, Sunny, 7, and can move her to Texas to be closer to Sandra Bullock, UsWeekly reports.

Judge Thomas Schulte ruled that Sunny's mom, Janine Lindemulder, will share legal custody; she'll see Sunny once a month in California, half of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, two-thirds of summer vacation and all of spring break.

Lindemulder, who was just recently released from a halfway house, broke down when the judge revealed his ruling. "I can't do this!" she said, while putting her head down. "I'll move! I'll move!"

Sunny will stay with Lindemulder for the rest of the summer and then move to Texas in time for the new school year.
Judge Schulte said his decision was based on several things: Sunny's bond with her older siblings that reside with James and how well she was doing currently in her father's care. The judge also noted that he felt Lindemulder was in a "fragile position to make poor decisions." He didn't mention Sunny's relationship with Bullock's adopted son, Louis, though Lindemulder did mention that Sunny misses him.

Once court adjourned, James immediately left on his motorcycle. Lindemulder stopped and spoke to the press, saying, "[Sunny] will be fine. It hurts. Sandy is good. Jesse is good. Sunny loves baby Louis. She's excited to move to Texas. [Bullock] will be good for her."
