Katie Holmes’ Divorce Filing Seeks Sole Custody of Suri, Support from Tom Cruise

Truth rating: 10

(GettyImages.com)

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise may be gearing up for a custody battle.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, Holmes filed for divorce in New York on Thursday, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and shocking her husband of nearly six years.

In her petition, the former “Dawson’s Creek” star indicates that she is seeking sole legal custody of the couple’s 6-year-old daughter Suri, as well as primary residential custody.

Holmes’ paperwork makes no mention of the pair’s prenup, but indicates that she’s seeking a division of property and a “suitable amount” of child support, according to TMZ.

Gossip Cop will have updates.

    wow… what a…cough , cough… surprise???? this whole thing has been in BLINDS for months, YEARS? Maybe Suri will have a ‘normal’ childhood now? That is if Katie gets FULL CUSTODY of Suri? I know, know, all depends on the pre nup…. but, she did have Suri BEFORE the Wedding… and Katie, she does not seem as uhm., as ‘controllable’ as Nicole-as in -’not that many skeletons hanging around the closet’ ? Or, let’s say A WHOLE LOT LESS THEN TOMMY BOY. Isn’t her father a lawyer? don’t remember, but, remember something along that line… that he was very very involved inthe prenup as opposed to Nic’s father, Dr.Kidman, the Psychiatrist, who of course, tommy does not believe in. and is alot more miles and an ocean away.

    Kate does not have much of a career… but, then again… Tommy’s career has taken a big nosedive in the last…. well…… 2, 3, 6,7 years… Amazingly, one blind had an actress wife staying with her older husband only until his movie open and then… DIVORCE FILELING…. Sounds…..well… familiar….. and they had been quite quiet.. not seen together.. not seen out much by themselves too much. Only occaissionally… Then, Tommy gets that ‘AWARD’!!!!!! by the FRIARS CLUB!!!!!! The FRIARS CLUB-known for basically ‘roasting’ known actors who do work in comedy, or comedians. So, of course, Tommy fits RIGHT IN!!!! He is ‘HONORED’ with an AWARD of some kind (cause I and my husband really don’t give a flying f…..!) but the award he was ‘HONORED WITH’ (PAID THE FRIARS CLUB FOR /OFF with a HIGH DONATION for something like BUILDING REPAIRS, RENT, ETC. ) was only given TWICE BEFORE in the HISTORY of the Friar’s club-the other two? Frank Sinatra and Bob Hope. Frank-another well known comedian ?????? Bob Hope is the only one I see getting an award for comedy, plus all the oversea shows he did for the USO(service men).Also Amazing that Tommy gets ‘awards’ like this when he has a movie coming out, especially, one that is not receiving great reviews. Rock of Ages-I actually wanted to see that on Broadway-Music from my era-but I did not expect to see ‘actors’ MY AGE IN THE SHOW OR MOVIE!!!!! Tommy is TOO OLD FOR THIS MOVIE!!!! 30 or ever 20 years ago, YES, BUT NOT AT 50!!!!! Did he buy the rights for the movie or is he an ex. producer? He has to put away the elevator shows, stop with the hair pieces, botox, etc. and start TAKING PARTS CLOSER TO HIS AGE!!! He is embarrassing, and embarrassing those around him. He needs therapy, but unfortunately his ‘religion’ is too IGNORANT to believe in those things so he will continue to live in his ‘made up world’ with his PAID YES PEOPLE just like Michael Jackson did.

    It says he is shocked by her filing. As I recall, this may be the first woman to leave HIM. He left his first wife – Mimi Rogers – for Nicole Kidman. When he left Nicole Kidman I remember all the headlines. She was shocked and confused as to why he left and filed. She stated she did not know why and was so upset she had a miscarriage. His response? “Nic knows why” was all he would say. He immediately – the day after he filed practially – was with Penelope Cruz. He talked about how cool it was — “Cruise and Cruz”. He broke it off with Penelope and then took up with Katie Holmes. I think this is the first woman to actually leave HIM. I could be wrong but…I dont’ know…maybe she figured she should do it before he does.

    GOOD FOR HER!! he is certifiable. good riddance.

  • Jane

    Katie said her lifelong dream was to marry Tom Cruise. She knew his religion when she married him but she wanted the glamour of being Mrs. Tom Cruise. I hate Hollywood people. Wonder if she will still be carrying Suri when she is ten?

  • guest

    Is it not ok to carry your child at Suri’s current age? I think it is, I don’t think there is a need to knock another’s parenting style, unless it’s really out there.
    As far as her dream to marry Tom Cruise, knowing and KNOWING are two very different things, and perhaps it’s not the religion alone….

    Whenever you see Suri the majority of the time she is with Katie, so it seem obvious that she would want sole custody. I’m not sure how it works in the US but in Australia sole custody just means that the child permanently lives with just one parent. It doesn’t mean the other one can’t see the child.

    Surly she doesn’t want Suri to not be able to see Tom Cruse, even if it turns out he is not the biological father, Suri is still going to want to see him. To her he would be her father and It’s cruel to not allow her to see him, so I hope katie doesn’t go down that route.

  • Anonymous

    That’s how sole custody works in the US, unless the parent with sole physical custody asks the court to not let the other parent see the child. I think Katie is trying to get away from Scientology. It’s all up to the courts & what’s best for Suri, regardless if she wants to be around him or not.

    Way to go Katie. Be strong and don’t back down.

    It has been obvious to me for a long time that Katie Holmes is a very unhappy woman. Look at how awful she has been looking, with the dark circles under her eyes and the horrible clothes she’s been wearing for taking walks around NY. She just didn’t care anymore. I have a feeling she has been talking to her father, a divorce lawyer, about this for awhile and this was the moment to strike. I also think she has something major on Cruise (either a photo or audio) that will assure he will go along with whatever she wants. I don’t think this divorce will be ugly at all. Katie didn’t just decide on this filing the day before it happen, this has been in the works for a long, long time and I think her father has everything in place and there won’t be any drama . . . except in the tabloids.

    It’s going to cost hm a ton of money for her to keep her mouth shut on the inner working of Scientology, I would bet…

    Tom remained on good terms with Penelope and even took Katie to meet her. All the women he was with were sort of obscure but they sure did okay after he broke with them. Sounds like Katie will be worth mega-millions from the divorce. Tom is generous. I wonder if the courts will give Katie sole custody of Suri. If they do we can read the salacious details on the gossip sites. Frankly I like Tom Cruise and I hope he’s allowed to share custody of his daughter.

    I think Suri looks like Tom. However she was conceived, she is his daughter.

    I remember that lovely sparkly eyed girl who glowed with happiness before she married Tom. Can only speculate as to what happened during their five years together to change that. I like Tom and Katie so I wish them well. Tom has never and will never alter his lifestyle and Katie – richer and wiser – will move on to something else.

  • Joxe

    I think we should respect them and not talk about this as we have no idea and this belongs to their private lives. We should keep admiring Tom Cruise for how good he’s been entertaining us for so many years and I look forward to enjoying his future movies.

  • Anonymous

    I also remember that pretty girl. She was totally happy and I’m sure she thought her life was perfect. I don’t know what has happen in the last couple of years but her spark is gone and she looks older and miserable. Such a shame.

  • Anonymous

    I doubt she will tell us anything about the “inner workings” of scientology that we don’t already know. I don’t think Katie is up to blackmail, she just wants to get out with her little girl and put the whole thing behind her. She will get a lot of money but only what is in the prenup.

  • Anonymous

    It’s not blackmail, it’s just that he and the “church” themselves will likely throw a ton of money her way to sign something that says she can’t talk about it.

  • D. Martin

    Okay…another post stated that she got an apartment before filing for divorce. She was planning…I wonder what went down that made her feel the need to act. Not just act but plan. Especially since he is stating that he’s shocked. Perhaps they fought and he threatened her with “You’ll never see Suri again” or something….

    I think it’s always sad when couple divorce while they have minor children. It’s even difficult for adult children when their parents split. The child’s life is turned upside down, nothing is ever the same again. It’s hard to say if little Suri has any type of normality or stability because her parents (especially her father) is always off on location.
    Whether Tom is or isn’t Suri’s bio father, he still has parental rights. All courts recognize the parent/child relat

    when cruise first started to go out with katie, I heard he needed a “front” and he spoke to (basically interviewed) several starlets to see who would be compatible with him and agree to this sort of relationship. apparently tom liked katie and she appeared to be willing. I think maybe a contract was set up with a condition as to the length of the relationship and what the divorce terms and compensation would be. I read this and dont know if its true. but what is true is her sadness and unhappiness. you remember that megawatt grin she had. havent seen her really smile in a long time. anyhow she is young and her family are very supportive of her. she will get on with her life. and tom will get on with his. and suri will be just fine or as fine as a hollywood kid can be with divorced parents..
