Restraining Orders Mel Gibson and Baby Mama Oksana Grigorieva

Oscar winner Mel Gibson has filed for a restraining order against his ex-girlfiriend and mother of his seven-month-old daughter.

The Australian actor, 54, broke up with Russian musician Oksana Grigorieva, 40, in April after the couple had been together about a year.

At the time of the split a friend of the couple told People they intended to raise their daughter, Lucia, together, but the relationship has become strained since then.

Legal documents were filed Thursday in the Los Angeles Superior Court.

RadarOnline reported that the case is sealed, which means that documents cannot be released to the public, but that sources told the gossip website there are three key issues in the case, along with Gibson's access to his daughter.

Gibson filed a temporary restraining order, a notice about a forthcoming court hearing and a notice of visitation rights and child custody, RadarOnline reported.

In April of last year, Gibson's wife Robyn filed for divorce after 30 years of marriage.
Gibson, who is in Texas filming scenes for another movie tentatively titled "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" has seven children -- six sons and a daughter - in addition to Lucia.

Oksana Grigorieva Said She Got Restraining Order Before Mel Gibson Did.

TMZ has learned it was Oksana Grigorieva who got a domestic violence restraining order against Mel Gibson, and not vice versa ... and she claims the actor was violent toward her.

We've learned Oksana's lawyers went to the family law court in downtown L.A. last Monday for an emergency hearing, and told the judge that Mel allegedly got violent with her -- two sources say Oksana claimed Mel was "extremely violent."

Sources tell TMZ the judge issued a restraining order prohibiting Mel from having any contact with Oksana. We're told the next day, Mel's lawyers went back to court and got the order modified so Mel could see their daughter.

We're told Mel also got a restraining order against Oksana, but only with respect to prohibiting her from releasing certain information.

A source connected with Mel Gibson scoffed at Oksana's allegations, claiming the alleged incidents occurred this past January and she traveled with him afterwards - all over the world. As the source put it, "In these cases, when somebody cries wolf, the judge is mandated to assume there's a wolf, until a full hearing can be held."

A source connected with Oksana confirms the alleged violent incidents occurred in January, but added, "There were other acts after January that were not physical but still constituted domestic violence."
