Mariska Hargitay has hinted she may be leaving top cop show Law & Order: SVU after a decade to spend more time as a mom.

The actress, who started playing Detective Olivia Benson in the long-running TV drama in 1999, admits she's missing out on family time and is thinking about leaving the show.

She tells Ladies Home Journal magazine, "I just want to see my kid."

Hargitay's son, August, was born in 2006 and the actress admits she and husband Peter Hermann are "trying" for a second child.
