Grigorieva requested an emergency hearing last week at the family law court in Los Angeles, says TMZ. She told the judge Gibson was "extremely violent" toward her.
The judge issued a restraining order prohibiting Gibson from having any contact with the mother of his 7-month-old daughter, according to sources.
The Oscar winner's attorneys went back to court and successfully modified the order so that he would be allowed to see their daughter.
It has been reported that his restraining order against Grigorieva only prohibits her from releasing certain information.
Sources connected to Gibson have suggested that the alleged violent incidents occurred in January, months before the couple split.
An insider close to Grigorieva confirmed this but added: "There were other acts after January that were not physical but still constituted domestic violence."
