Halle Berry to engage in custody battle

Halle Berry has revealed that she is preparing for a custody battle with ex Gabriel Aubry over their daughter Nahla.

A rep for the actress told People that she is concerned that Aubry - who filed paternity documents for the 2-year-old earlier this month - is incapable of caring for the child properly when she is in his care.

"Halle has serious concerns for her daughter's well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her," the spokesperson said.

"She has attempted to resolve these custody issues amicably with her daughter's father Gabriel Aubry directly, but given his lack of co-operation, Halle has no choice but to seek swift judicial intervention."

Berry and Aubry split in April 2010.
