The actor lodged the paperwork under seal at the Los Angeles Superior Court in Downtown Los Angeles Thursday. The plaintiff is listed as Mel Gibson and the defendant is Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his seven-month-old girl.
Grigorieva was served the documents at her home. The case is sealed, meaning the documents cannot be released to the public, but reports say the complaint centers around three issues and Gibson's access to daughter Lucia.
Mel and Oksana in happier, home-wrecking times.
Mel Gibson filed for a temporary restraining order, a notice about a forthcoming court hearing as well as a notice of visitation rights and child custody.
He and Oksana Grigorieva, a Russian musician-singer, split in April after over a year of dating. Their split was described as amicable ... at that time.
However, Grigorieva hinted the break-up was complicated: "We have split up, suddenly and recently... Unfortunately, I cannot give you the reason."
"But you will find out everything quite soon."
Last year, Gibson's wife Robyn filed for divorce after 30 years of marriage, right around when Mel and Grigorieva conceived their child together.
