Nicki Minaj 's husband Kenneth Petty can't legally attend the birth of their baby if it happens outside of his curfew hours.
The rapper, 37, announced her pregnancy earlier this month and is expected to give birth later this year.
Petty, 42, is living with strict bail conditions as he faces trial on a charge of failing to register as a sex offender when he moved to California.
His travel is limited to Southern California and he has a curfew as he waits for his next court date.
Petty's lawyers have filed documents with a court in California asking a judge to modify the conditions of his release so he can be by his wife's side if she goes into labour outside his curfew hours.
In the documents, obtained by Hollywood Life, it reveals Petty works as Nicki's manager and is requesting the ability to travel domestically and occasionally work outside of the restricted hours.
It states: "Mr Petty is currently employed as a managed for his spouse, Nicki Minaj. His employment requires periodic domestic travel as well as periodic work outside of his curfew hours.
"Mr. Petty is also expecting a child. He has been advised that his current release conditions will not permit him to attend his child's birth if it should occur outside of curfew hours.
"My Petty submits the proposed modification so he can attend his child's birth."
Petty's team is waiting for a judge to make a ruling on the application.
Petty was sentenced to 18 to 54 months behind bars in 1994 on a charge of attempted first degree rape when he was 16 years of age and the victim was 15.

Following the attempted rape conviction, he was required to register as a sex offender in New York state.
However, he became embroiled in fresh legal trouble when he moved to California with Nicki last year.
In November, Petty was pulled over by cops and accused of failing to register as a sex offender in California, which he was legally required to do after the move.
He pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial, which has been delayed from an original date in April.
