GRIGORIEVA ‘ASKS GIBSON TO INCREASE CHILD SUPPORT’
MEL GIBSON’s ex-girlfriend OKSANA GRIGORIEVA spent a full day in court on Wednesday (18Aug10) in a bid to have the actor’s child support payments increased, according to reports.
The former couple split earlier this year (10) and they have endured a messy public war of words in recent weeks as they attempt to thrash out c ustody arrangements for their nine-month-old daughter Lucia.
The feud has seen Grigorieva accuse the shamed star of assault, while a udio footage of telephone calls in which the actor can allegedly be heard hurling abuse and vile threats at his partner have leaked online.
Grigorieva appeared at a closed court hearing in Los Angeles on Wednesd ay and her lawyers spent hours arguing why Gibson should increase his mon thly payments for Lucia from the reported $5,000 (=C2=A33,333) he is alre ady paying, according to TMZ.com.
The website reports the judge overseeing the case decided to postpone r uling on the subject. The Braveheart star was not present at the hearing.
