Gossip Girl actress Kelly Rutherford (Lily Bass) will get to take her son Hermes, 2, to New York where the show is filmed for the next few months following a court decision today in Santa Monica, California, according to People magazine.

Raging in a pretty intense custody battle with estranged husband Daniel Giersch over their son, the outcome was fairly equal on both sides.

According to People, the court ruled Friday that while Rutherford can take her son to New York until the end of March, Giersch will be in the city while she is working and they will have a schedule to share custody. Giersch had wanted the child to stay with him in L.A.

The judge also ordered both parents to visit L.A. once in February and March.

When asked if she plans to stay on good terms in Giersch, Rutherford told reporters “yes.”

Rutherford is pregnant with their second child.

The judge also ordered that both parents visit L.A. once in February and March.
