Katie gets a divorce settlement in ten days.

[Baitball Blogger]

Either scientology was highly motivated to keep things secret, or there is something that Tom Cruise doesn't want her spilling.


It took Katie 10 days and now she takes taxis

Katie Holmes announced she’d filed for divorce from Tom Cruise on June 29. Today is July 9. It took her all of 10 days to secure primary custody of No Longer Little Sci, secure a new home in New York, and secure public protection from the Church of Scientology.

Who are you Katie Holmes???

It’s now confirmed that Tom and Katie have reached a settlement. Her lawyer Jonathan Wolfe released this statement:

"The case has been settled and the agreement has been signed. We are thrilled for Katie and her family and are excited to watch as she embarks on the next chapter of her life.

1. To be completely honest here...

Do I look like I really give a shit?

[Baitball Blogger]

2. Archae, if you really didn't give a shit,

why did you post to ask if you really didn't give a shit? Because it really does look like it might not be a firm shit, but it's a shit.

[Archae]

3. Well, a lot of people say I'm full of shit...

And if I say I don't give a shit you won't be full of shit yourself.

[madinmaryland]

4. Isn't that a George Carlin line. Something about giving shits??

I gotta look that one up.

[Archae]

7. Sounds familiar.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. That's what I mean. You left a shit, which means, you gave a shit.

[Archae]

17. Oh, shit!

[Callmecrazy]

5. I had a crush on her for years.

I think she married what's-his-name just to spite me.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Well, she's free now.

Go get her tiger!

[texanwitch]

6. Must be some good stuff there.

Damn, 10 days.

Good going Katie.

I bet Tom never see the little girl alone.

13. Katie's dad is a lawyer.

He obviously has connections.

[LiberalEsto]

18. Divorce lawyer

He knew how to get Katie the best divorce lawyer possible

8. Iron-clad pre-nups and/or employment contracts will make that happen.

Did anyone really think it was going to be dragged out? This was planned for.

[Swede]

9. To let her get custody with no fight,she knows something he doesn't want known.

10. That's like captain obvious there!

My guess is this is how the settlement negotiation works

Lawyers to Katie: "Here's a legal pad, write down exactly what you want out of the divorce

<<<Katie writes her list of demands>>>

Lawyers to Katie: Ok that's your settlement now sign this Non-Disclosure Statement and as long as you never speak of Tom or Scientology EVER again then you can have everything on the legal pad.

That was easy!

14. +1

15. More like, pre-engagement..."Listen Katie, this is what we need from you..."

This was planned for. I'm just surprised it was a 5 year contract, and not 10.

16. Tom's Church probably told him not to contest.

Bad publicity and all. And really, why should an uncontested divorce drag out, when you can get married in Vegas on the spur of the moment?

19. I understand that her father is a divorce lawyer.

It looks like they had it all planned out without missing a detail.

[Major Nikon]

20. They had all the details worked out before she ever filed

Of that, I'm sure.

I think Cruise is crazy as a shithouse rat and undoubtedly has secrets out the wazoo. I'm pretty sure the Scientology thugs lawyers are pulling his strings on this one.

21. IMO...he's a bit

of a fruitcake from what I've seen.

Of course, she can't be a whole lot better, having got involved with him in the first place. I mean, water always finds its own level, but at least she's together enough to want out.

But anyway, I saw this divorce coming the day they got married.

Just surprised the marriage lasted as long as it did.

22. But, but, she was only 25 years old and he was her Mr. Grey.
