Things have gotten tense between Halle Berry and her daughter's father, model Gabriel Aubry. The pair are back in court following a fight between Berry's fiance, Olivier Martinez, and Aubry. But Hollywood has a history of contentious custody disputes including ... 
In a custody battle that has gone international, Kelly Rutherford's case may seem like a storyline on her show "Gossip Girl." But the drama has been very real, and in August 2012 she was ordered to share custody of her two children with Giersch in Monaco, where he currently lives. She has vowed to have the children returned to the U.S. 
The courts awarded custody to Federline in 2007, and at one point Spears actually lost the right to visit their sons. Spears and Federline are said to be on better terms these days, and she is often photographed with their boys. 
The world learned probably more than it wanted to know about Mel Gibson after audio leaked that was said to be of him ranting to ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. The former lovers settled on a deal in 2011 that reportedly granted her $750,000 and visitation with their young daughter. 
The singer ultimately won custody of his two young sons with his ex-wife, but not without some drama in the courtroom that included Usher breaking down in tears on the stand at one point during testimony. 
Their divorce in 1998 was messy and the custody battle over their two sons was even more so. At one point during the custody trial, Anderson said she had contracted hepatitis C from sharing an infected tattoo needle with Lee. In 2002 they decided to share custody. 
Etheridge and her former spouse reached an agreement in 2012 to share custody of their 5-year-old twins, but not before plenty of accusations were tossed back and forth. TMZ reported that Etheridge claimed Michaels had accidently burned one of the children with a cigarette. 
The basketball player spent years in the courts with his ex-wife before winning custody of his two sons in 2011. The experience so impacted his life that in 2012 he released a book titled "A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger Than Basketball." 
The "30 Rock" star and his ex-wife fought over the custody of their daughter for seven years. The battle peaked in 2007 after he left a voicemail for their child calling her a "rude, thoughtless little pig." Baldwin wrote about it in his book, "A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce." 
Allen's romantic relationship with Farrow's adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Farrow Previn, did not help their custody battle over their three kids go smoothly. In awarding Farrow custody in 1993, the judge characterized Allen as a "self-absorbed, untrustworthy and insensitive" dad. Allen later married Previn and the couple adopted two children.
- Halle Berry must pay Gabriel Aubry $16,000 a month in child support, a court rules
- Berry and Aubry have a 6-year-old daughter, Nahla
- The settlement comes after a lengthy legal battle
(CNN) -- Halle Berry has a hefty new expense.
The Oscar-winning actress has to pay over $16,000 in child support each month to her ex, Gabriel Aubry, to provide for their 6-year-old daughter Nahla, the Los Angeles Superior Court ordered.
Berry's monthly bill will remain in effect until Nahla turns 19 or graduates high school, whichever occurs first, according to court documents obtained by CNN. The settlement came on May 30, at the end of lengthy child support legal battle.
The court also ordered Berry to pay $115,000 retroactively in child support, as well as to cover her ex-boyfriend's legal fees, which amount to $300,000. The "X-Men: Days of Future Past" star is fully responsible for Nahla's tuition, while both parents will divide health care costs.
Berry and the Canadian model met in 2005 and split in spring 2010 and have since been entangled in bitter custody and child support litigation. Tensions erupted in a physical altercation between Aubry and Berry's husband, Olivier Martinez, on Thanksgiving Day 2012, when Aubry came to Berry's home to drop off then 4-year-old Nahla.
Berry and Aubry's legal battles also include Berry seeking to relocate their daughter to France, and Nahla's nanny filing a restraining order against Aubry. Since their custody dispute came to an end in spring 2011, both parents have shared equal custody of Nahla.
Nahla is Aubry's only child. Berry is a mother of two. She gave birth to a son with Martinez in October of last year.
