But Friday's hearing over custody of Dannielynn, at which Birkhead had been expected to be awarded guardianship based on court-ordered DNA tests, adjourned soon after it got under way.
Damien Gomez, an attorney for Smith's long-time companion Howard K. Stern, said the hearing was suspended at the request of lawyers for both Birkhead and Smith's mother Virgie Arthur.
But John O'Quinn, Arthur's lawyer, said Birkhead and his client had agreed to meet privately on Saturday in an apparent bid to reach an agreement over custody of the child.
O'Quinn said the father and grandmother of Dannielynn would try "to figure out what they believe is in the best interest of this child and try to get it done."
