Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Reportedly Negotiating a Divorce Settlement: Who Should Get Custody of Suri?

Celeb gossip addicts appear to be as dazzled by the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes divorce as they were by the unlikely romance to begin with. So, consider us obsessed! And the big question on everyone's minds is: Which Hollywood parent should get Suri Cruise?

tom cruise  katie holmes  suri cruise

Katie dropped a bombshell on Tom when she filed for sole legal custody of 6-year-old Suri. And now, the custody question is the main thing holding up an amicable settlement, TMZ reports. A source told the gossip site that Tom wants "meaningful, significant contact with his daughter." As one source explained: "She is the primary concern in his life."

We're also hearing that Tom and Katie had a pre-nup, so his pre-Katie fortune should be pretty much safe. But Katie can ask for as much child support as she wants. And for a little girl who's been wearing high heels and ball gowns since infancy, we have a feeling those monthly checks are going to be pretty large! We haven't read anything suggesting that Tom hasn't been a great dad, so we're not sure that Katie should be awarded sole legal custody as she requested. What do you think?

    Keeping her daughter out of the cult is crucial. Look what happened when the Kidman/Cruise kids were granted joint custody. Scientology defectors claim they saw and took part in brainwashing designed to make the kids believe that Kidman was a psychopath. If Cruise gets joint custody, and therefore the right to make religious decisions for the child, it's highly likely that the same thing would happen again.

    Katie. Tom is a weirdo and who knows what Suri would turn out like if he continued to parent her?

    She should go to someone who knows how to name a child properly for a start.
    Suri, isn't that like poop slug at the bottom of a bed pan?

    I feel a mother should if she is fit! Tom Cruise should never get custody of anything much less a child. I just hope it stays this way. Let's hope he never gets married again.

    There must be some reason he didn't get custody of his other kids with Nicole!

    The reason Katie asked for a divorce was she fears that Suri will be indoctrinated in the Scientology church that already happened with the two Cruise's older children. Katie should get custody and Tom can pre-arrange visitations with no Scientology handlers present as well as not try to "train" Suri in the Scientology belief. Don't know how Katie Holmes could stop this.

    joint custody? problem is that tom cruise and his wife are professional actor(s....it would have to be shared as to who the child would be with.......until something else changes of course, like remarriages, etc.

    Since scientology is a cult,and Tom is a member he should get visitation rights but with a child welfare worker in the room.Katey has sole custody.

    Even if the parents are in the "Biz" they should both have equal rights to the children it should not matter unless their was "domestic abuse in the home.". Only if the man was having an affair or cheating on his wife and abusing her domestic abuse the children should stay with the mother. domestic abuse domestic abuse domestic abuse domestic abuse domestic abuse mean men mean men mean men

    90% of the time, it is the mother who has physical custody and dad gets liberal visitation. Just because Tom is famous and rich is no reason to change the rules!

    Katie will make sure Suri is exposed to other children and her grandparents and cousins, etc. Would Tom do that when he is off on location half the time? No. It would be nannies taking care of Suri.

    As Suri gets older she will decide some things for herself so this is mainly for the next 10-12 years or so. After that it is anybody;s guess what Suri does.
    But I agree, Tom needs to leave that cult. It is hurting his career and has caused this 3rd divorce.

    Tom has been through a few wives & I don't think he is family oriented. He doesn't understand post post-partum depression.

    This has already been settled. Katie gets custody, Tom gets extensive visiting rights.

    It's gonna be interesting how they solve the religion-"problem" concerning Suri.

    They both have enough money to afford nannies, etc. to help out with their busy schedules. It should be split.

    It's too bad they are splitting up.

    Personally speaking, since people live longer now than in the past, and since forever is longer than 7 years, a time when men had more respect for women (for example) back in the Wild West era, mostly because women usually died in childbirth within 7 years of saying "I do...", then I can see people marrying and divorcing several times within their lifetime.

    Unless a marriage is consistently physically or verbally abusive, I don't believe marrying several times with children involved is really a good thing for the children, since it can cause children to grow up astray from knowing who they are, leading them allot of times to pathways of no direction causing depression, confusion, emotional insanity (like the homosexual movement for example) or suicide.

    We need to stop the spread of Islam too but it's not going to happen. One day, when all the nutty religions take it one step too far then all religions will be frowned upon because of them. They have taken freedom of religin much to far which will ruin it for Christians and Jews.

    religious fanatics take it "one step too far" everyday. Scientology however is NOT a religion. It's a cult; collection of some of the dumbest people on the planet who have been duped into believing BS from SCIENCE FICTION writer L Ron Hubbard

    It'd be nice if they could settle on some sort of visitation agreement, but I think Katie would be the better parent. I don't think Tom making religious decisions for Suri would be healthy for the child.

    Only because I don't think any child should be raised in a cult. If they choose to join it later, that's fine, but not at this age.

    TC is a cult member who will indoctrinate his daughter if given the chance. I think the best way to protect her is to give custody to Katie. Not that Cruise shouln't have visitation rights, I just don't think it would be wise for him to have control.

    what does that even MEAN. i can't do anything and my opinion is pretty useless in this situation. all i'm saying is that the girl's confused, her father's probably overwhelming her with gifts and attention and her mother doesn't know what to do about it. classic divorce case.

    Offer to cut her in half and give each parent a piece. See which parent reacts how. That would tell you who would be the better choice. (Yes, that is copied from King Solomon judging a similar situation.)

    Tom wants to brainwash that poor kid into his lunatic cult.
    Which is ostensibly why Katie left him.
    Protect the kid from Xenu-whackadooism.

    Tom Cruise is a wackjob who apparently wanted to send Suri to this ridiculous Scientology school. He should definitely get visitation, because Suri does need a father, but Holmes should get primary custody.

    It would be a travesty to see Suri Cruise grow up to be some crazy Scientologist.
