Actress Halle Berry has asked a judge to prevent her ex-boyfriend from seeing their 3-year-old daughter. The latest step in their on-going child custody battle, making news in Annapolis media channels as well as others nationwide, comes after allegations that model Gabriel Aubry, the girl's father, shoved the child's nanny while she was holding the child.

The child's nanny filed for a restraining order, which a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied. While the judge did not grant the nanny's request for a restraining order, Child Protective Services and the L.A. Police Department are reportedly investigating Aubry.

Berry filed a legal request on Jan. 24, 2012 for an emergency hearing to modify their custody arrangements. She wants the judge to prevent Aubry from contacting their daughter until the CPS investigation is complete.

The nanny alleged that Aubry shoved her so hard she would have fallen, if she had not collided with a wall. The woman said she was holding the 3-year-old girl when Aubry allegedly shoved her. She says the attack occurred when she went to pick the girl up from Aubry's house. She claims Aubry, who is a foot taller than her, screamed at her and uttered racial slurs before pushing the woman.

The also woman claims that Aubry has been verbally abusive and aggressive toward her since shortly after she began caring for the child. She alleges he accused her of being a spy for Berry and not doing her job.

After filing for a restraining order, the woman quit her job. She says she is afraid Aubry will retaliate against her for speaking out.

Berry and Aubry have been locked in a bitter custody dispute since shortly after they broke up in 2010.
