Jennifer Hudson is headed to trial with her ex David Otunga and the court battle between the two has turned so nasty, they are even fighting over school bus stops.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, an Illinois judge set the start of the trial for March 11, where "The Voice" judge will face off with her ex-fiancé in court.

The judge expects the trial to last for a total of five days, where the singer and Otunga, who currently works for WWE, will testify in court and argue their case for who deserves more custody and who should pay support.

Last year, Hudson originally filed for an emergency order of protection accusing Otunga of pushing her while holding their son David. The court granted the temporary request but Hudson would later drop the petition altogether. Otunga has always denied the allegations.

Since she dropped her petition for an order of protection, the two have been battling it out in court with each filing motion after motion in court accusing the other of playing legal games.

At one point, Jennifer feared he would kidnap their son and David claimed she was trying to defame him with her allegations.

Otunga has even fired off a subpoena to Jennifer’s sister Julie requesting she sit for a deposition in the case. The two have even been fighting over the choice of school bus stops.
