Jennifer Hudson’s ex-fiancé has made a rather curious move in the former couple's ongoing custody battle — he's demanding her sister Julia show up and be grilled under oath.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Otunga fired off a subpoena to Julia Hudson, requesting she sit for a deposition.

The subpoena itself is sealed in the case, so it is unclear what he plans on questioning her about relating to the case.

Julia is Jennifer’s older sister, whose mother, brother and son were infamously shot to death in 2008 by Julia’s estranged husband. He was later sentenced to life in prison.

The case is ongoing.
