So much for their amicable split.
Halle Berry is planning to take ex Gabriel Aubry to court to fight for custody of their 2-year-old daughter Nahla. The Oscar winner, 44, even cleared her schedule by pulling out of the star-studded flick 'New Year's Eve,' which is set to begin filming in New York City this week. (She's being replaced by Katherine Heigl.)
"Halle Berry was forced to pull out of a film production in New York this week due to pending custody litigation involving her daughter," her rep tells UsMagazine.com in a statement. "She has attempted to resolve these custody issues amicably with her daughter's father, Gabriel Aubry, directly, but given his lack of cooperation, Halle has no choice but to seek swift judicial intervention."
Behind her decision to head to court?
"Halle 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," her rep adds.
Though the twosome were often seen cordially co-parenting in the wake of their April split =- including a shared trip to Paris -- the model, 35, filed papers on Dec. 30 asking to be formally recognized as Nahla's father and to establish shared custody.
