Grimes Struggles to Serve Elon Musk with Custody Papers Amid Legal Battle
Canadian musician Grimes is suing Musk for physical custody of their three children, following Musk's own lawsuit to establish parental relationship.
- Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, is suing Elon Musk for physical custody of their three children. This follows Musk's own lawsuit to establish a parental relationship.
- Grimes' legal team hired process servers who attempted to serve Musk with custody papers at multiple locations, including his companies' headquarters and several addresses tied to him. Musk reportedly evaded being served at least 12 times.
- One process server tracked Musk's private jets in an unsuccessful attempt to find him. The process servers were unable to deliver the papers directly to Musk, resulting in a substituted service, where the papers were left with another individual at the defendant’s residence or place of business.
- Musk and Grimes started dating in 2018 and share three children: a three-year-old son named X Æ A-Xii, a nearly two-year-old daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl, and a 2-month-old son named Techno Mechanicus. The couple broke up in 2021.
- The legal battle between Musk and Grimes is ongoing, with jurisdictional disputes and attempts to serve Musk with custody papers continuing. A final decision as to which state has jurisdiction over their custody matters has not been decided.
