Halle Berry was advised not to ask a judge to allow her to move to France with her daughter, Nahla, as she is currently embroiled in a bitter custody dispute with the little girl’s father, Gabriel Aubry, and there was little to no chance that her request would be granted, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
Berry’s camp warned the 45-year-old actress that the move would be viewed as not being in her daughter’s best interest, but she proceeded anyway against their advice, a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com.
The Academy award winning actress is no longer being represented by her long-time respected attorney, Neil Hersh. Berry hired Stephen Kolodny several weeks ago to be her new lawyer, he has represented Mel Gibson and Whitney Houston in the past.
"The fact is that Halle just didn't want to listen to the advice she was being given about not pursuing a move to France with Nahla right now,” the source says. “Halle just can't understand why it would take so long for the judge to decide, but this is a drastic move to a foreign country. Halle was told to wait six months and perhaps as a result of the parenting classes that both Gabe and Halle are taking right now, they might be able to work out a new custody agreement without having to go to court.
