TMZ.com reports that Aubry withdrew his custody petition and in turn is filing a paternity action in order to legalize his relationship with his two year old daughter, Nahla.
The case, which is stated won’t be open to the public which unlike the custody petition in theory should lead to a ruling regarding support and visitation.
