Halle Berry Asks Court's Permission To Move To France

Halle Berry has been battling baby daddy Gabriel Aubry for custody of their daughter Nahla since they split, and things are about to get a whole lot nastier if the Oscar winner succeeds in proving to the courts the paparazzi are a significant threat to her daughter's safety and she should be allowed to move to France with the 4-year-old.

The actress is going to court today to convince the judge it's in Nahla's best interest to live in France, where it's a crime to harass celebrities in public -- despite the fact her biological father is based in Los Angeles. To best illustrate her point, Berry and her lawyers intend on making a video presentation, showing examples they believe prove the dangerous lengths particular photographers go to capture a shot of the mother-daughter duo.

In one specific incident, Berry had to call the Beverly Hills Police so she and her little one could make an exit from a restaurant. In another, shown above, the 46-year-old star loses her cool when a shooter gets overly aggressive at her daughter's school. The Dark Tide star has subpoenaed paparazzo Andrew Deetz, who allegedly trespassed on the grounds of the pre-school.

It is unclear whether Canadian model Aubry will be present in court, and no comments have been released from his camp.
