Malawi's high court today granted Madonna permanent custody of baby David Banda.
Confirming the news outside the courthouse in the capital Lilongwe this afternoon, the star’s lawyer Alan Chinula said: "It's a beautiful and positive judgement."
"Finally the court has granted Madonna full adoption rights of the boy ... It's all over, thank God."
Three-year-old David has lived with Madonna and her film director husband Guy Ritchie since October 2006 after they spotted him in an orphanage.
David was placed into care by his father following the death of his mother when he was a month old.
The father has said he didn't object to the adoption.
Madonna’s custody battle has proved controversial, with critics accusing the Malawian government of ignoring laws that ban non-residents from adopting children from the country.
