Suri Cruise Benefits Most From Parents’ Divorce

While it may be Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes that are left to deal with the aftermath of their divorce, their daughter Suri sure has nothing to complain about.

America’s most well-dressed six-year-old made out like a bandit after her parents called it quits, gaining a pretty sizeable trust fund.

“Katie wanted the trust fund put in place for Suri so that their daughter will be able to tap into after she turns eighteen years old,” said a source close to RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Katie has absolutely no access to the money and didn’t want to. She just wanted to ensure that Suri would have financial security as she becomes an adult. It’s a sizable trust fund, but Suri won’t be able to fully legally claim it until she is in her 30s. Tom had no problem with the request and planned on doing it for Suri anyway.”

While Suri may have gotten a pretty penny, Katie, well, not so much. The couple had a prenuptial agreement in place, which stipulates that Katie will not be getting any of Tom’s millions. But the last thing the former “Dawson’s Creek” starlet needs is a hand out.

Katie’s own clothing line is taking off, along with her acting career, which has started to bloom once again. Plus, she gets primary child custody, so it’s a win-win situation indeed.

Kris Humphries Deals With Divorce No. 2

The drama of his original divorce to reality star Kim Kardashian still isn’t over, but NBA star Kris Humphries now has to struggle with another separation – his parents.

According to a new “Wetpaint Entertainment” report released on Aug. 19, Humphries’ parents are filing for divorce. The couple, which supported Humphries through his own breakup, is splitting up after separating shortly after Kardashian served Humphries with divorce papers.

The report shows that it was Humphries’ mother, Debra, who filed for divorce from her husband William. However, it isn’t clear why she decided to end the marriage.

Not only will he have to battle with his own crumbled marriage, but Humphries is now going to have to put his best face forward for his family, especially his sisters Kaela and Krystal.

While Humphries’ parents’ marriage lasted quite some time, his own matrimony ended after a mere 72 days of wedded un-bliss. Perhaps his parents’ divorce will make him reconsider some of the provisions in his own case and help speed up the proceedings.

Unfortunately though, in Hollywood, you can always expect drama.

Luckily, divorces don’t have to be as complicated or drawn out as Humphries’. If you have been thinking about filing, turn to a divorce lawyer immediately to ensure your proceedings run as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Kanye West Served Divorce Deposition in Nordstrom Box

Hollywood, CA- Kim Kardashian’s divorce is heating up again as divorce attorneys for Kim and Kris Humphries faced off in court on Wednesday, where they revealed that Kanye West, Kim’s most recent beau, was served with deposition papers in a Nordstrom Box.

Laura Wasser, Kim’s attorney complained about the unusual tactic telling the judge, “A stranger was outside my client’s house saying he had a box for Mr. West.”

But Humphries’ attorney Mashall Waller defended the action, stating that repeated attempts to speak with West failed because his lawyers never returned numerous calls.

Waller said, “If Mr.West’s attorney ever calls us back we will be happy to talk. But as a practical matter that hasn’t happened. We’re jumping through hoops. We’ll probably have to serve him in public.”

So what does Kanye West have to do with Kim’s divorce? Well, Humphries believes that he may have had an affair with Kim prior to their wedding. However, his only evidence is Kanye’s absence at their wedding. Therefore, Humphries’ legal team needs to depose him to determine if the allegation is true.

Humphries is also seeking an annulment and is trying to prove that his marriage was a fraud and meant to drive up ratings for Kim’s reality show.

Even though, their marriage only lasted 72 days Humphries is not giving in, despite the prenuptial agreement the two signed before they married. He seems convinced his ex is a fraud and is hell bent on publically humiliating her.

Divorce Still Delayed for Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are at it again. The NBA star has refused to set a trial date for the ex-couple’s long-awaited-for divorce until he can interview Kim’s mom, Kris Jenner, and her current boyfriend, Kanye West.

A divorce attorney for Humphries said it will be at least four months before a trial will be set and says Kardashian hasn’t really done anything to speed things along.

“I don’t want to use the word ‘uncooperative,’ but they are not making the process easier,” said Humphries’ divorce lawyer, Marshall Waller, according to E!

Waller has requested business records from Kris Jenner, which he has yet to receive and needs in order for the deposition to proceed.  The information Waller seeks is part of an effort to prove the couple’s 72-day marriage was a fraud.

“To say I am frustrated is an understatement,” said Laura Wasser, Kardashian’s divorce lawyer. “I’m at a loss to figure out what the holdup is. They had a prenup and were married 72 days.”

Wasser said her client has already incurred $250,000 in legal fees, which she plans to bill to Humphries.

The couple’s short-lived marriage began in August 2011 and ended when Kardashian filed for divorce on Oct. 31, citing irreconcilable differences.

If you have contemplated filing for divorce or legal separation, turn to a top divorce lawyer near you right away for help. Divorce attorneys know this is a difficult time for you, and will help ensure the proceedings run as quickly and smoothly as possible.

But no. We’re not getting a divorce. Where am I gonna go? Where am I going to go? That’s my boo. It’s like he’s another part of me.”

Russell Brand Shares Details of Divorce on Howard Stern Show

It’s hard to believe that it has only been two days since Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s divorce was finalized. However, Howard Stern doesn’t have any qualms about getting the British comedian to open up about the relationship and dishing out the juicy details.

Brand went on Stern’s Sirius/XM radio show on Wednesday morning under the assumption he would be talking about his new FX show, “Brand X.” What he got though, was a slew of questions regarding his marriage and subsequent break up.

Brand was actually pretty candid about his feelings, saying nothing but good things about his ex-wife.

“I loved her so much, it just seemed like the sensible thing to do [when we got married],”  said Brand

However, once they were hitched, Brand realized things were not as easy as he envisioned they would be.

“This isn’t really working out, it’s a difficult situation,” said Brand of the marriage. “I was really, really in love with her, but it was difficult to see each other … it mostly didn’t work for practical reasons … We did work it out, she’s happy, I’m happy.”

Regarding the alimony he could have been entitled to – half of Perry’s 40-plus million – Brand said he had no interest in taking Perry’s money and is happy with his own job.

While things worked out for Perry and Brand, the same cannot be said for many divorcing couples. If you have contemplated splitting from your spouse, turn to a divorce lawyer to ensure proceedings run as smoothly as possible.

Whether you need help with child custody, asset division, or any other matter, divorce attorneys are here to help protect your rights. Contact a divorce lawyer or family law attorney today to get started on your case.

Kim Kardashian Divorce Case Experiences Drawback

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may have wrapped up their divorce quickly, but the same can’t be said about Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’ filing.

The reality TV star’s case has suffered a drawback after allegations that her star witness, who was allegedly pregnant with Humphries’ baby, were proven false.

Myla Sinanaj was reportedly pregnant with Humphries’ baby, but she decided to come out in the open, telling reporters that she was never carrying the NBA star’s bundle of joy.

“Myla had absolutely been telling her friends that she was pregnant with Kris’ baby,” said a source to RadarOnline.com. “Everyone in Kris’ camp, including the NBA star, thought Myla was indeed pregnant. No one could get a straight answer from her.”

The false pregnancy is a setback for Kardashian, whose divorce lawyers had subpoenaed Sinanaj to tear down his claims that he had been deceived by Kardashian during their brief marriage.

“Kim’s [divorce] lawyers are certainly going to have to re-think their strategy to determine if they still want to depose Myla,” added the source. “Myla would easily be impeached under questioning from Kris’ lawyers. Yes, Kris did hook up with Myla, but they were never in an exclusive relationship.”

If you have considered filing for divorce, you certainly don’t want proceedings to last as long as Kardashian’s. You need a top divorce attorney on your side who will ensure your case resolves quickly and in your favor, and we are here to provide that for you.
