Mel Gibson Seeks Increased Custody of Lucia

Mel Gibson wants more QT with his daughter.

In order to get it, the actor, who's now five years sober (if not five years non-crazy) is demanding a change to his custody pact with Oksana Grigorieva.

Mel has filed a request with the court for additional overnight visits with 1-year-old Lucia. He currently gets three overnights with her every two weeks.

Sources say a hearing is set for September to decide the details, but if a judge does grant Mel's request, he and Oksana may split custody nearly 50-50.

Hopefully, things continue to progress amicably for the pair after a relationship that ended in one of the nastiest celebrity breakups we can ever recall.
