    Mel Retains Joint Custody of His Baby Daughter And Oksana Loses For Now … But Child Services Is Investigating!

    We told you first that The Department of Children and Family Services would be launching an investigation into the child abuse claims against Mel Gibson — and it’s happening next week! Mel retained joint custody after a hearing in family court in LA yesterday, July 15,  but he might not retain it  for very much longer.

    Mel Gibson managed to escape losing joint custody of his eight-month-old daughter Lucia, July 15, when his attorney Stephen Kolodny, appeared in an LA court to battle it out with his ex-lover Oksana Grigorieva. Oksana alleges that Mel attacked her on Jan 6, leaving her with two knocked out front teeth and a bruise on Lucia, who was only 2-months-old at the time. But for now, Mel still has visitation with Lucia, which includes daytime visits and one overnight visit a week.

    HollywoodLife.com first broke the news, July 1, that the Los Angeles County of Department of Child and Family Services was “absolutely” going to investigate the claims of child abuse in the Gibson household and now DCFS plans to interview Mel next week. Among those to be interviewed will be Oksana’s twelve-year-old son Alexander who’s father is  James Bond star Timothy Dalton. Alexander reportedly witnessed all of the abuse between his mother and Mel, and a source also reveals he even witnessed Mel pull a gun on her and wave it in her face.

    A lawyer from DCFS was present at the custody hearing yesterday, but he was never called into the courtroom.
