Robin Thicke got to spend time with his son Julian over the weekend — but they were not alone.

The singer had to share his quality time with the six-year-old with a court-appointed monitor due to a restraining order against him.

TMZ reported the 39-year-old brought his boy to Kid's World in LA on Saturday.

Not ideal: Robin Thicke had to share his quality time with his six-year-old Julian on Saturday with a court-appointed monitor due to a restraining order against him

The Blurred Lines hitmaker is only allowed to see the child three times a week amid a bitter custody battle with ex Paula Patton.  

On Monday, People reported Thicke had a supervised visit with Julian the Friday before, but passed up the chance to have another visit with the boy the following day.

That, according to the magazine, sparked another round of tit-for-tat between the exes who are due back in court in their bitter custody battle on February 24.

Sources close to Thicke tell a different story however, saying that he let his son have the day with Patton because he was so excited about an outing they had previously planned. 

Putting on a brave face: Paula Patton has temporary sole custody of son Julian, six, last week

A source close to Patton told People: 'He did not exercise his right to spend time with his son and the monitor on Saturday, citing a business meeting. However, Paula offered alternate times that Julian could see Robin with the monitor that weekend, but he declined all visitation.'

'These are the actions of a father who claimed he wanted to spend time with his son,' the source said.

Meanwhile, People cited a source close to Thicke accusing the actress of 'trying to bury him.'

'This is a concerted effort to prejudice the public against him. He has taken no such campaign against her,' the Thicke source claimed.

'He’s taking this extremely seriously, and it’s unfortunate and very difficult when you’re on the receiving end of a campaign of negativity.' 

That source said that Patton and the boy had already planned on attending a Chinese New Year celebration, and that Thicke wanted his 'geography buff' son to experience the event because the boy was talking about how excited he was that Friday.

Caught in the middle: Julian is the only child of the Blurred Lines singer and the actress who filed for divorce in October 2014 and has accused her ex of being abusive

Patton was granted custody of Julian on Thursday after her mother had to call police when her ex Thicke showed up and demanded to see their child earlier this month.

The judge in Los Angeles also imposed a temporary restraining order by which Thicke has to stay 100 yards away from Patton, Julian and Patton’s mother.

In court papers filed in the custody case, Patton, 41, claims that Thicke, 39, has been a long-time drug abuser, cheated on her shamelessly and even beat her on occasion.

But Thicke himself said that he believes the sudden custody fight stems from Patton's anger that she wasn't invited to his father, actor Alan Thicke's funeral in December.   

Patton filed for divorce in October 2014, eight months after separating from the Blurred Lines singer.

The custody battle over their only child came to a head on January 19, when Thicke showed up to her mother's house and demanded to see Julian. 

Her filing states that Thicke showed up at her mother's house on January 19 while their son was being interviewed by child services workers and that the singer refused to leave.

After the child services workers left, Thicke banged on the door and demanded to see his son, leaving only after Patton's mother called police, Patton wrote.
