After recently discovering that he has a 5-month-old daughter, Pauly D entered into a big custody battle over her with her mother.

TMZ previously reported that the Jersey Shore star met the 25-year-old mother of his child in Las Vegas after one of his Djing gigs last year.

Now, TMZ reports that Pauly and Amanda, the mother of his daughter Amabella, who hooked up after one drunken night, hate each other.

Both parties have filed documents with the court. Pauly is seeking custody of his daughter who was born May 15, although the level of custody he is looking for is unknown at this point. Pauly reportedly does not believe that Amanda is a good mother, claiming that since she worked at Hooters and has another child, she cannot possibly raise his daughter successfully.

On the other hand, Amanda filed for child support. Pauly said he would absolutely support his daughter financially, but he feels that Amanda is already being too greedy with the requested money. And after all, he is seeking more than a financial role in his child's life.

Pauly has yet to see his daughter, but that doesn't mean he doesn't already love his little bundle of joy. "I'm proud I'm a father. I am excited to embark on this new part of my life,” he said.
