Grimes said in a November 2024 post that the financial and personal strain of fighting over custody was making her feel she was “going bankrupt.” That was her description of the pressure—not confirmation that she filed for bankruptcy. The Texas case was reported resolved and sealed later that month, and the public reporting available here does not establish its terms or a current custody schedule.
What Grimes said about money and the custody dispute
On November 21, 2024, musician Grimes, whose name is Claire Elise Boucher, wrote on X: “The threat of losing [your] kids while going bankrupt fighting for them is not very conducive to creative thoughts.” The Independent reproduced the post in its November 23 report; Yahoo Entertainment also reported the statement. The wording describes the financial pressure she said she was experiencing. Neither report establishes that she filed for bankruptcy or verifies her financial condition.

In other posts covered by The Independent, Grimes said she had spent a year “locked in battle,” alleged that her Instagram posts and modeling had been used as reasons she should not have her children, and said she had not seen one child for five months. Those are her allegations and account of her experience, not findings by a court.
What was reported about the case—and what remains private
The Independent reported on November 23, 2024, that the Texas custody case had been resolved and sealed. Because the case was sealed, the reporting did not provide public court terms that would independently establish what the parties agreed to or what a court decided. The outlet also described a possible every-other-week arrangement based on a post that was later deleted; that is not a verified custody schedule.

A January 23, 2026, Daily Beast article reported further public comments by Grimes about co-parenting, disagreements over screen time, and the children’s privacy. Those comments offer later context but do not establish the current custody arrangement or reveal sealed case details. The Daily Beast.

“Going bankrupt” is part of the statement Grimes made about the strain of the dispute. The cited coverage does not report a bankruptcy filing, provide financial records, or otherwise verify that she was legally bankrupt. A personal description of financial pressure should not be treated as proof of a formal insolvency proceeding.
The available reporting also does not independently resolve Grimes’s allegations about access to her children or the conduct and circumstances of the dispute. The case’s reported resolution and sealed status limit what can be confirmed publicly; later commentary does not change that.
