Musician Grimes, 35, is suing her ex Elon Musk, 52, over parental rights of their 3 children.
This comes weeks after she begged Musk to allow her see their toddler son and revealed that she has not even been allowed to see a photo of their children.
Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, filed a “petition to establish parental relationship” on September 29 in a California court.

The parental rights petition is a means of identifying a child’s legal parents when they are unmarried.
The Canadian singer, 35, is yet to request child support or custody rights.
Weeks earlier, in a now-deleted tweet to Shivon Zilis, who gave birth to Elon Musk’s twins through IVF, Grimes said: “Tell Shivon to unblock me and tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer.
“I have never even been allowed to see a photo of these children until this moment, despite the situation utterly ripping my family apart.”
Zilis is an executive at Musk’s Neuralink company. She gave birth to Musk’s twins last November according to court documents but has not publicly said the two are romantically involved.
Grimes and Musk began dating in 2018 and share three children together. Their firstborn son, named X Æ A-Xii, was born in May 2020.
Their only daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, nicknamed Y, was welcomed via surrogate in December 2021, the same year the couple split.

Last month it emerged the former couple had secretly had a third son, Techno Mechanicus.
Musk has fathered 11 children but one died. He now has 10 kids.
Musk is a dad to twins Griffin and Vivian Musk, 18, and triplets Kai, Jaxon and Damian Musk, 16, with his first wife Justine Wilson. The couple also had a son, Nevada, who died at 10 weeks of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 2000.
In addition to his children with Grimes, he shares 17-month-old twins Azure and Strider with Zilis.
Just last week, Musk was snapped with his and Grimes’ son X while at a meeting with Hungarian President Katalin Novák for talks on the world’s demographic crisis.
He met with the politician in Austin, Texas.
After the meeting, Musk took to social media platform X to write: “Having children is saving the world.”
Musk also had son X with him while meeting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sept. 17, ahead of the 78th session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly at the Turkish House in New York.
