Oksana Grigorieva has withdrawn her domestic violence claim in the child custody dispute with Mel Gibson.
Oksana's lawyer withdrew the claim on Wednesday, May 4, in a surprise move that reportedly caught Mel's lawyer and the judge in the case, Scott Gordon, off guard.
Sources told TMZ that Oksana is possibly seeking a reconciliation with Mel in the child custody dispute.
According to TMZ, a protective order against Mel obtained by Oksana has also been terminated, allowing Oksana to communicate directly with Mel.
In March 2011, Mel Gibson agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge.
In a child custody dispute, the judge is guided by the best interest of the child. It is not immediately clear how Oksana's withdrawal of her DV claim will impact the custody dispute.
Oksana, 40, and Mel, 55, have a daughter Lucia, born October 30, 2009.
The couple parted in March 2010. Their split became public knowledge in April 2010.
Oksana filed a domestic violence complaint against Mel on July 5 alleging that he had assaulted her on January 6, 2010.
