Mel Gibson Returns to Court for Custody Fight

LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) Mel Gibson is back in a Los Angeles courtroom to resume his custody fight with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

The Academy Award winner sat quietly in a courtroom across from Grigorieva, a Russian musician, before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon began a closed hearing on Monday.

Gibson and Grigorieva have been sparring for months over custody and financial issues involving their infant daughter, Lucia.

According to TMZ, Gibson's lawyers will ask the judge to award full custody of Lucia to him. The report, citing court documents, also states that the actor's lawyers will ask the judge to award Grigorieva visitation, but only with a monitor, and to deny any overnight visits with their daughter.

Investigators are looking into Gibson's allegation that Grigorieva attempted to extort him after their breakup earlier this year. Grigorieva has alleged Gibson struck her during an argument in January.

No criminal charges have yet been filed in either case.
