Sandra Bullock and her husband Jesse James will not be spending Christmas with his daughter Sunny.
A judge ruled in favour of Sunny's mother Janine Lindemulder during a custody hearing at an Orange County court.
An eyewitness in the California courthouse is quoted by Life and Style Weekly magazine as saying: "She was told she could pick up Sunny at 4pm on Christmas Eve (24.12.09) and return her by 6pm the next day (25.12.09), but her husband Jeremy Aikman, a two-time felon, won't be allowed to be there."
Lindemulder was imprisoned earlier this year for tax evasion and Sandra has been helping Jesse raise her.
However, since her release Jesse and Janine have been battling for custody of the child.
Speaking after the hearing, Janine said: "I'm so excited about Christmas. I can't believe it. Thank God."
