Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva is in court for hearing over custody of daughter.

(Kazan, August 19, Tatar-Inform). Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend has appeared for a closed court session in Los Angeles over custody of their young daughter.

Oksana Grigorieva did not speak to reporters when she arrived at the courthouse. Gibson did not appear at the hearing, which was closed to the public, The Daily Telegraph reports.

A summary posted outside the courtroom indicated attorneys would argue a motion on whether to seize the passport of the 9-month-old daughter.

It was the first time Gibson or Miss Grigorieva appeared in court regarding the case. Lawyers for both parties declined to comment.

The former couple reached a confidential custody agreement in May, but repeated hearings have been held since the custody case was filed.
