The "Lost" star and Elena Eustache, the mother of three-year-old Naveen Joshua, were in L.A. County Superior Court, where a judge changed the custody order after Elena allegedly took the boy out of L.A. County without permission. Naveen also claimed Elena kept the boy from him.

The parents had joint custody, but today, with the help of disso-queen Laura Wasser, the order was modified so Naveen now has sole physical and legal custody pending a full hearing next month.

We're told Elena has alleged Naveen's girlfriend, Barbara Hershey, practices witchcraft and that Naveen and Hershey have poisoned the boy. In response, Wasser asked the judge to order Elena to undergo psychiatric testing.

Elena brought the boy to court. After the ruling, the bailiff took the boy from Elena and gave him to Naveen, who left the courthouse with Hershey.

Under the new order, the boy is allowed to travel to Hawaii where Naveen films "Lost". He can be accompanied either by Naveen or Hershey.

After the hearing, Elena told TMZ, "I can't believe celebrities and their money. They always get what they want."

The pic above shows the boy, Naveen, Laura Wasser and Barbara Hershey leaving court. Elena is in the pic on right.

121. The only person qualified to be a judge here..was the judge. Shame on those who played the race card or the mommy card.

122. To # 119 I am sooo sorry for what has happened to you and your child. I too had my children taken away from me by a NASTY Judge.. for not forcing my children to go with their father ( and believe me they had their reasons for not wanting to go )..there was so much corruption in my case. ie childrens lawyer, fathers lawyer, a mediator, the cops, social workers ect. I went from raising my children up till they were 11 & 12 to ONLY being alllowed to see them twice a month. People just have no idea unless you have been through the family court system that alot of the rulings made by judges is not always in the best interest of the children. In the end..for me I got both my children back ( they had to stand up for themselfs against their own lawyer to make it happen ) It has been over a year..and EVERYONE who was fighting agianst me NOW knows and admits I was right all along..as the childrens father ended up in the hospital from his bad habits. I feel for this lady as I feel for you..I relize that alot of parents play their children against one another..But a Judge should beable to see past that..and truely do what is best for the child. I agree if rules are broken in a court order.. it should be looked at to see if there was a good reason for what the person has done, but to just pass the child along cause of a broken court order, just doesn't seem fair to the child.

123. I know Elena, and she is not crazy. She is a loving mother. Don't believe everything you read. She didn't take her son away from his father. She took him on a mini vacation to see snow, because he has never seen snow before, being from LA. Elena and Naveen have always had a decent relationship. This is disgusting what he has done to her, especially since Elena has always take Naveen out of LA for visits with friends and family. I find this timing to be very sketchy and wonder if he did such a thing for PR! It's very sad that he is allowing such slander against his sons mother, who is a beautiful person and always allows Naveen to see his son. As for Barbara, I don't know her, but as a woman and a mother I would hope she would have more sympathy and compassion. And if she can't, she should try her hardest to stay out of it because little Naveen is not her concern. She can be a supportive girlfriend, but that should be it. I only hope everything works out for everyone, little Naveen loves his mother dearly.

124. Barbara Hershey was born in 48 so she is about 61( 2 years behind my mother). Naveen is about the same age as her son and I cant see why she would want to get involved and take part in raising a small child again. She should let him worry about his son. Sh*t the dads girfriend looks like she could be the grandmother lo!

125. I think it is a definite possibility that Hershey does practice witchcraft. She is really out there. I feel sorry for the child and maybe Naveen Andrews. It seems he is always being manipulated by women. He really is sexy. it's a shame.

126. I think Barbara Hershey is getting a bad rap here.I read that Grace Johnston (The daughter on Beaches) said that Barbara would sing to her and read her stories during breaks while filming Beaches.She seems like a very loving person. GIVE HER A BREAK!
