On her way in to court yesterday, Grigorieva told our X17 videographers, "I'm fighting for my daughter and for her safety and that's all I'm doing. There's no money involved. It's all about my daughter."

During the custody hearing in Downtown Los Angeles, the actor and Grigorieva were face to face to discuss custody issues. Grigorieva's lawyers were trying to stop Gibson from being allowed overnight visits with his daughter, however LA Superior Court judge Scott Gordon said that discussion was for another court date. The upgrade in child support money was definitely a victory for Grigorieva's camp. Gibson originally thought he would pay $20-thousand per month, reports E!.

In addition to forcing Gibson to pay $60-thousand in child support, Judge Gordon also denied a request for a gag order which would have prevented Grigorieva and her attorneys from publicly speaking about the case.

The next hearing date has been set for November 22.
