Take a look at some of the celebrity couples who have faced such custody battles in the past.


Leander Paes and Rhea Pillai: Legendary tennis player Leander Paes filed an appeal in court seeking the custody of his child Aiyana on May 3, 2014. In this case, the strange fact was that Rhea and Leander were never married, and were in a live-in relationship for 8 years.
In the petition, Leander alleged that Rhea is not a good mother and that he was concerned about Aiyana’s well-being and safety. He also tried to obtain a court order to restrict Rhea from taking Aiyana out of Mumbai. However, Rhea refused to comment on this matter, but her lawyer Mrunalini Deshmukh had reportedly said “Rhea will fight for Aiyana's custody. As per the law, in a live-in relationship, the custody of the child usually goes to the mother.”
