Rutherford's mother, Ann Edwards will also be testifying about her interactions with Giersh which prompted Rutherford to seek a restraining order. Kelly alleges that Giersch has been harassing her, her mother and caretakers.
Giersh is firing back at Rutherford, among his claims, Giersch asserts he wasn't given make-up time to visit with their daughter Helena who was sick with the Swine Flu at Kelly's home.
Giersch says in his declaration, "Thus far, Kelly has only provided me 3 days of make up time with Helena.....This does not include my two custodial days where Helena had the swine flu, and for which she has promised make up time."
Giersch says he never harassed or threatened Kelly or any of the nannies.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported Giersch and Rutherford have been embroiled in a nasty custody battle over their two children, Hermes, 3, and Helena, 7 months old since they split.
Things have gotten so bad between the two that Giersch wasn't even present at the birth of Helena, Rutherford opted, instead, to have her mom present in the delivery room.
Giersch and Rutherford were married in August 2006, Rutherford filed for divorce in December 2008, Giersch filed for legal separation on the same day.
