Sharon Stone is following in the footsteps of an unlikely forebear—namely, Britney Spears—and seeking a little more court-approved mother-son time.

E! News has obtained court papers filed by the China-angering actress in which she seeks a modified custody order for 7-year-old son Roan, whom she adopted with ex-hubby Philip Bronstein back in 2000.

Bronstein, the Komodo dragon-angering former editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, split from Stone in 2004 and currently retains primary custody of the boy.

Stone's legal filing, entered in San Francisco County Superior Court on April 4, ask for a change in her son's primary residence, though it remains unclear whether the request is simply for joint living arrangements or if it's part of a run-up to request full custody of the boy.

Stone's rep, Cindi Berger, told E! News she had "no comment" on the filing. Bronstein's rep has not yet issued a statement.

The Basic Instinct star has two other adopted children, son Laird, whom she adopted in May 2005, and son Quinn, whom she adopted in June 2006.
