Nick Cassavetes files paperwork against his ex Heather

Nick Cassavetes is getting the law involved in his battle with his estranged wife Heather Wahlquist about their daughter Barbarella ‘Barbie.’

The movie director has filed legal paperwork on Wednesday to penalize his ex for kidnapping their daughter, 13,  according to TMZ.

The website also spoke to Heather, who ‘wants 100% custody’ of their daughter until ‘Nick can get a grip,’ she said in another report.

During her video interview with TMZ, she said: ‘This came out of the blue. I think it’s because maybe Nick had said something or maybe somebody asked Nick in a drunken night or something “where’s Barbie” and “oh she’s in Oklahoma” and it turned into I kidnapped her and now he can’t go back on it. There’s no other explanation.’

TMZ noted that Heather signed an agreement that she would hand over Barbie on December 18 to Nick in Los Angeles and have custody of her until January 8.

She didn’t turn Barbie over to Nick per the custody agreement and now The Notebook director wants the courts to penalize Heather.

He filed legal documents asking for $10,000 in penalties with the number increasing each day she doesn’t hand Barbie over, according to TMZ.  

Nick recently claimed Heather kidnapped their 13-year-old daughter Barbie and took her to Norman, Oklahoma; he asked fans for help locating the child who he said he had not seen for a month.

Heather told the website that at the time of the stipulation: ‘Nick had taken my child and he wouldn’t let me have her until I signed at.’

She claimed to TMZ in the video: ‘He walked out of our mediation in the middle while I went down to feed my car’s meter and snuck off and rushed to get my kid and he wouldn’t give her back to me until he finished the stipulation, 100% written by him, and made me sign it or I wouldn’t get her back.’

While she said her daughter misses her dad and wants them to have a relationship, she thinks he needs to go to an ‘adult baby/parenting school.’

She claims that Nick must have done this as ‘an attack because he’s p****d.’ 

According to Heather’s mother Linda Massad, Nick reportedly ‘wants revenge’ against estranged wife Heather.

Linda fears for her life and said The Notebook director is ‘evil’ during a tearful FaceTime interview shared on TMZ Wednesday morning. 

During the emotional interview, Linda told the website, ‘You don’t know what he’s done; you have no idea what he’s done.’

She then claimed to have witnessed the director beating her daughter, saying, ‘My sister saw it too cause she was with me.’

Linda detailed an incident where a stranger was banging on her door at her home in Oklahoma at 11:30 p.m., claiming she’s ‘afraid he’s got some hitman after my kid and me and my sister.’ 

Massad said that Nick ‘wants revenge against my daughter’ for leaving him, and reportedly told Heather when she left, ‘I will make your life a living hell.’

Cassavetes’ filed a crime report on Dec. 25 claiming Heather violated their custody arrangement and stole their daughter, according to TMZ.

On Monday he alleged that his daughter – whose birth name is Barbarella – was missing in a post on Instagram over the weekend.

He filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department accusing his wife Heather Wahlquist of violating their custody agreement by running off with the girl.

‘Where is my baby? Why won’t her phone turn on? Why has she been stolen from me?’ wrote Cassavetes on Friday. 

‘Is she okay? Does she know I love her, that I miss her everyday? Does she know that I’m coming and will never stop coming?’

He included a photo of himself with Barbie alongside that post.

On Sunday, Cassavetes went a step further and accused Wahlquist of kidnapping their child.

‘I miss my daughter on the day before Xmas Eve. I haven’t spoken to her in over a month. Wherever she is, i want her to know that I love her more than anything and I will never stop looking for her,’ he wrote in that Instagram post.

‘Merry Christmas, my love, we all wait for your return, Love, your dad, Sasha, Gina, Chrissy, Loochie, Gena and Bob, your aunties, Chvonshvy, Yuki, Gus, and Theo…’

He met Wahlquist when he directed her in the 2002 film John Q, and the status of the relationship between the two has always been a bit of a mystery.

The two were married though and have since split, with Cassavetes now dating model Christina Virzi.
