Larry
Birkhead
will
not
share
legal
custody
of
his
and
Anna
Nicole
Smith's
daughter.
Birkhead
is
determined
to
raise
Dannielynn
alone
after
DNA
tests
proved
he
is
her
biological
father.
However,
Anna
Nicole's
mother
Virgie
Arthur
has
indicated
she
may
apply
for
custody,
saying:
"I'm
glad
to
find
out
who
the
father
is,
I
just
want
to
be
the
grandmother.
It's
not
over,
but
it's
getting
a
lot
better." Birkhead
doesn't
want
a
custody
battle
and
insists
he
will
let
Arthur
visit
whenever
she
wants.
He
told
the
'Today'
show:
"We
might
go
from
one
fight
to
another
but
I'm
hoping
that's
not
the
case
because
there's
only
one
dad
and
I
have
no
problem
with
anyone
that
has
good
intentions
being
allowed
to
visit
the
baby
and
be
a
part
of
the
baby's
life.
It
would
imply
that
I'm
unfit
as
a
parent,
which
I'm
not.
I'm
looking
forward
to
giving
Dannielynn
everything
that
she
needs
and
all
the
love
and
support."
Howard
K.
Stern
-
who
was
named
as
Dannielynn's
father
on
her
birth
certificate
-
said
he
was
"disappointed" by
the
DNA
results
but
will
support
Birkhead
in
any
custody
battle.
Stern
revealed:
"I'm
obviously
very
disappointed,
but
my
feelings
for
Dannielynn
have
not
changed.
I'm
going
to
do
whatever
I
can
to
make
sure
Birkhead
gets
sole
custody."
A
hearing
to
determine
who
will
raise
the
seven-month-old
baby
will
be
held
tomorrow.
Birkhead,
who
claims
he
was
in
a
relationship
with
Anna
Nicole
until
May
2006
when
she
was
five
months
pregnant,
has
been
seeking
custody
of
Dannielynn
for
months.
Dannielynn
could
inherit
an
estimated
£240
million
fortune
from
the
estate
of
Anna
Nicole's
late
oil
tycoon
husband
J.
Howard
Marshall,
depending
on
a
forthcoming
court
ruling.
Anna
Nicole
had
been
fighting
Marshall's
family
for
his
estate
since
his
death
in
1995
and
the
battle
is
yet
to
be
resolved.The
former
Playboy
model
died
on
February
8,
aged
just
39,
from
an
accidental
drugs
overdose.
