After months of courtroom battling with her baby daddy, Gabriel Aubry, Halle Berry may be minutes away from getting a decision from the judge in her highly-anticipated custody petition.

The Oscar winner is on her way to the LA Superior Family Court right now, and it is expected that the judge will issue a decision in the next few hours, either giving Berry to right to take daughter Nahla to France (her fiance Olivier Martinez's home) or requiring her to stay close to home so Aubry can still have convenient visitation.

Halle has been battling Aubry for custody of their daughter Nahla since the two split, arguing to the court that 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.

Her attorneys claim 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.
