Pauly D is concerned for the safety of his six-month-old daughter, after domestic violence allegations surfaced about the child’s mother, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned.

The Jersey Shore star is still battling for custody over Amabella with Amanda Markert, a woman with whom he had a fling in summer 2012, and intends on turning to the courts to make sure he’s granted regular visitation.

“He has a court date set and hopes the judge will mandate custody time,” a source told Breaking Celebrity News.

“Pauly has been trying to set up a second meeting with his daughter, but Amanda’s attorney keeps denying him a visit.”

That could all change though, now that Markert’s ex, Lance Gerbino, has come forward alleging that she has a history of violence, the source said.

“Pauly is very concerned for his daughter’s safety and doesn’t want her in a violent environment,” the insider said, adding that Pauly has filed for full-custody.
