Gibson and Grigorieva Will Attend Parenting Classes

Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva may be having a custody war filled with heavy accusations, but the two still have to raise their nine-month-old daughter, Lucia, together. The judge of their case is going to make sure that they are both active in their daughter's life.

"They'll be ordered to co-parenting classes if they haven't already," says Scott Weston, a Los Angeles family-based lawyer.

Weston is not involved in the case, but is looking from an outsider’s perspective. "Judge Scott Gordon will do everything he can to get their situation under control, turn down the heat, and get both sides focused on the best interest of the baby,” he says.

Judge Gordon has been involved in high-profile cases before, for he was up close and personal with Britney Spears and her divorce from Kevin Federline in 2006.

It is very likely that Gibson, 54, and Grigorieva, 40, will be ordered to attend anywhere from six to 12 group sessions that teach effective communication skills. These are mandatory sessions the ex-couple will attend separately.

According to people.com, the ex-couple will proceed independently of their custody case, even if one person could possibly face jail time.
