MANILA, Philippines - After almost two months of not seeing each other, estranged couple James Yap and Kris Aquino met again on Friday afternoon at a hearing at the Makati Regional Trial Court.

The two parties will try to iron out details of Yap's visitation rights over their child.

The hearing comes after Yap filed a formal motion to push for his visitation rights over his son, Baby James.

Kris Aquino was accompanied by her three sisters, Ballsy Cruz, Pinky Abelleda, and Viel Dee, and her lawyers from Marcos Ochoa Serapio and Tan law offices.

Star cager Yap was with his lawyer, Atty. Lorna Kapunan, who revealed that her client was really nervous.

In a recent interview, Kapunan said she is confident her client will get the visitation rights they are requesting, prior to Yap's departure for the United States this week.

"I'm nice, but I can be not nice. We'll have to resort to more drastic legal measures," Kapunan said.

Yap has appealed that he be given a chance to be with his son for two days each week, and that he be given the right to bring his son to visit his grandparents in Escalante, Negros Occidental.

Kapunan said she is dismayed that her client still has not yet seen his son.

Kapunan said Aquino's side had told them they were open to having a meeting, but when they called the office of Aquino's lawyers, "no one" seemed to know about the meeting.

The Makati Regional Trial Court, under Judge Cristina Javallera Sulit, is expected to have a decision immediately after the closed-door hearing. --With a report from Ginger Conejero, ABS-CBN News
