Los Angeles, Jan 27 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Padma Lakshmi is involved in a legal custody battle with Adam Dell, which she reveals is a living nightmare for her. Dell has petitioned the court to give him more say in the upbringing of their 11-month-old baby girl, Krishna.

According to DigitalSpy.com Dell has filed a suit to have more role in the upbringing of their child. The website quoted a part of the suit that read, “[Dell] is the parent who can be relied upon to put Krishna’s needs before his own.”

The suit further claimed that Lakshmi’s demanding career as a TV personality and a celebrity leaves very little time for her child. Subsequently, Dell’s lawyers argue that the court should offer him more custody period with the child.

Lakshmi’s lawyers believe that the suit was not necessary because she had the intention to allow Dell more time with the baby as she ages. Dell currently has a 9-day-a-month access to the child which is in the form of visitation rights.

Her lawyers told the People Magazine that they believe that in order to protect the little child, the suit should be kept away from the media.
