Scarlett Johansson gearing up for nasty custody battle

Actress Scarlett Johansson has filed for divorce from her French husband, Romain Dauriac, and is gearing up for a nasty custody battle, The Post has learned.

“The Avengers” actress sued Dauriac in Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday, saying that their marriage is “irretrievably broken.”

She’s also asking a judge to give her primary custody of their 3-year-old daughter, Rose Dorothy Dauriac.

The father’s attorney, Harold Mayerson, said his client plans to fight the request.

“He would like to move to France with his daughter and Ms. Johansson does a lot of traveling,” Mayerson explained.

“It will be an interesting process,” he said of the unfolding divorce drama, declining to comment further.

Johansson and Dauriac married in 2014, shortly after their daughter was born.

Two months ago, it was reported that the couple had split last summer after the “Lucy” star decided she didn’t have that much in common with her husband, according to Us magazine.

After the breakup, the parents had an informal co-parenting agreement under which they each spent every other week with Rose.

“She would take the child on these trips like when she was shooting in New Zealand,” a source close to the case said.

Johansson temporarily moved to the island last year to film her latest sci-fi flick, “Ghost in the Shell.”

But then Johansson wanted to switch to a shorter schedule under which she would have Rose for three days and then Dauriac would take her for two days.

“The kid was bouncing back and forth. It can’t work because [Johansson] travels so much,” the source said.

When Dauriac protested that his life was starting to revolve around Johansson’s schedule, he was told by her lawyer that “this is what they do in Hollywood,” the source said.

Johansson’s attorney, Judith Poller, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
