Murilo Huff, singer and father of Léo, the 5-year-old son he had with the late sertaneja singer Marília Mendonça (1995–2021), has been engaged in a legal dispute with Dona Ruth Moreira, Marília's mother and Léo's grandmother, over the child's custody. Initially sharing custody with Dona Ruth, Murilo Huff filed for unilateral custody, citing "serious and alarming situations" and alleging negligence and parental alienation by Dona Ruth. He claimed that Dona Ruth and caregivers concealed medical information about Léo's diabetes and health episodes, which Huff said prompted his request to be closer to his son. The dispute also involves concerns about the management of Léo's inheritance, estimated at around R$ 500 million, from Marília Mendonça's estate.

Murilo Huff has publicly detailed his financial contributions to Léo's expenses, including schooling, healthcare, and recreational activities, countering Dona Ruth's accusations that he failed to pay child support. After a two-hour court hearing where both parties refused to reach an agreement, the judge granted Murilo Huff provisional unilateral custody, with Léo moving to live with his father. Following the decision, Dona Ruth filed an appeal to contest the custody ruling. The case has generated significant public attention, with family members, including Marília's brother João Gustavo, publicly defending Dona Ruth amid social media attacks. Legal representatives for both sides have issued statements, with Dona Ruth's lawyer criticizing the decision and promising to present new evidence. The court's decision highlighted findings of negligence and alienation parental by Dona Ruth, which influenced the custody ruling in favor of Murilo Huff. The custody battle continues to unfold amid emotional family dynamics and public scrutiny.
