Jesse James faces a custody battle over his five-year-old daughter with his ex wife, former adult film star Janine Lindemulder, that seems to be putting his current wife, actress Sandra Bullock, in the middle.

Janine was recently released from prison after spending six months behind bars. Jesse and Janine have a 5-year-old girl named Sunny together, who currently lives with Jesse and Sandra.

Back in 2008 when Lindemulder was sentenced on reported tax evasion charges, Sandra wrote in a letter to the judge, "As information was brought to Jesse's attention about Janie's drug use, and Sunny's safety, and isolation, he was compelled to take matters to court." (read full letter)

Meanwhile, in his own letter to the court, the Spike TV star wrote that his ex has refused to take responsibility for her finances and allegedly reckless lifestyle.

"I believe that Janine should not be shown any leniency in her sentence," he wrote at the time.

As "Good Morning America" reported, the judge has now ordered both parties to see a mediator, as Janine is currently requesting joint custody.

  • Sandra's interest is for the child...You have to remember she has been a mother to Sunny for 3 1/2 years. As a step child myself I give her full support. My step mother fought for me.

  • who needs a drug head for a mother? it's not because you know how to make a child that you are a parent..let's the child be raised by those who care and are around to support and love her..instead of being in jail or passed out..

    • As a step mother my self it is her business as the child would be living with her and be cared for by her. This child will impact her life every bit as much as her natural parents. However the courts don't recognize that and they should. In the end...

    • Not her business yet she is partially responsiblie for her care. He is her husband and she is her step-daughter. I am sure he wants and needs her support. As well as Sunny someone needs to be a mother to her and care about her best interest.
