Halle Berry’s baby daddy, underwear model Gabriel Aubry, wants child support and joint custody of their 2-year-old daughter Nahla.
Halle, who has a history of failed relationships with pretty boys, tried to keep her custody battle with Aubry private. But their custody drama went public after Aubry filed for joint custody and child support last week.
In court documents, Aubry complained that he was unable to see and co-parent his daughter because Halle takes the child with her overseas to visit her boyfriend, French actor Olivier Martinez when he’s not visiting her in LA.
Halle is said to be so worried about this latest development that she’s cancelled her film work and appearances to be available to battle him in court.
Friends tell TMZ that the couple had worked things out between them outside of court after their break up in 2009. But according to RadarOnline, the custody battle has turned nasty with Aubry hiring lawyers in Canada (where he resides) and in New York to represent him.
Although Aubry, 35, has not made any official statements, Halle fired the first public salvo:
Halle, 44, released a statement Monday claiming that she has “serious concerns for her daughter’s well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her.”
