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.

If you have considered filing for divorce or legal separation from your spouse, turn to a divorce attorney today to ensure proceedings run quickly and smoothly. Divorce attorneys help you with several matters, including split property and assets, determine alimony, and even establishing wills and trusts. They will also serve as mediators to ensure the peace is maintained throughout proceedings.

Katie Holmes to Receive $400,000 a Year From Tom Cruise

Although Katie Holmes did not seek out to ruin Tom Cruise financially during their divorce, she got a hefty deal out of it anyway.

According to TMZ, the 33-year-old former “Dawson’s Creek” starlet will receive $400,000 annually, which averages out to about $33,333 a month. While that may seem like overkill, it’s just a fraction of the estimated $250 million Cruise is worth.

However, there’s always a catch. Since the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place, Katie isn’t entitled to that money. Instead, the $400,000 will be given as child support for Suri, the couple’s six-year-old daughter.  Suri will get this yearly allotment for the next 12 years until she turns 18.

Let’s not feel too bad for Katie. Even though she isn’t getting any spousal support, she has her own career which will bring her enough money regardless.

TomKat, as the ex-couple was known, ended their six-year marriage in what could be world record time. Holmes filed for divorce on June 28 and just five days later it was finalized.

A divorce can take a toll out on anyone, even celebrities. It is important for all couples who are contemplating separation to seek legal help in order to ensure proceedings resolve as quickly and smoothly as possible. If you have thought about getting a divorce, speak to a divorce lawyer to discuss your options and file a case.

Your divorce attorney will help you divide property and assets, determine child custody and child support arrangements, and even help with wills and trusts. They will make sure your rights are protected and serve as mediators to keep disagreements to a minimum.

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.

“Tom’s looking for a new home here. He wants a fresh start. He doesn’t want to go back to the East Village apartment where he was living with Katie,” said a source, according to the New York Post. “He’s looking for something that’s very private where he won’t have to deal with going through a lobby, and people outside all the time.”

Primary child custody was given to Holmes, but Cruise has visitation rights.

NEW YORK — Although it was expected to be one of the largest divorce cases in history, actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have reached a settlement Monday.

Less than two weeks after Holmes, 33, filed for divorce, the couple’s divorce lawyers say the pair has reached an unexpectedly quick settlement.

“The case has been settled and the agreement has been signed,” said Holmes’ divorce attorney Jonathan Wolfe. “We are thrilled for Katie and her family and are excited to watch as she embarks on the next chapter of her life. We thank Tom’s counsel for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution.”

As usual, the ex-couple has kept the details of the settlement private because of their 6-year-old daughter, Suri, leaving many to wonder what exactly will happen in terms of the battle for custody and especially what they have decided regarding the role of Scientology in Suri’s future.

According to Los Angeles divorce lawyer Steve Mindel, “A quick settlement indicates that they were able to agree that they’ll both do some co-parenting.”

Many have taken Holmes’ side during the divorce, saying the once bright-eyed, exuberant “Dawson’s Creek” starlet lost her spark after marrying Cruise. Maybe now that she is single again, she will once again become the bubbly actress everyone knew and loved.

If you have considered filing for divorce and wish your case to run as quickly as Tom and Katie’s, turn to a top team of divorce attorneys to ensure that all matters are resolved smoothly and favorably.

London, UK – We all know divorces can get messy, but for Parminder Nagra, partying ways with her husband has gotten to be more like a war battle.

The “Bend It Like Beckham” star is struggling to divvy up finances with her estranged husband James Stenson.
Stenson filed a lawsuit alleging he is entitled to part of the British actress’ fortune after giving up his job as a photographer when Nagra was cast in the hit TV medical drama “E.R.” in 2004.

According to tmz.com, Stenson is seeking $500,000 in damages and half of the three properties the couple purchased before they wed in 2009.

Stenson went on to claim that the couple made arrangements to share their combined wealth during the six years they spent as “life partners” before formally getting hitched.

Nagra, however, has a different take on the matter. She filed for divorce this February after three years of marriage.

The couple has a three-year-old son named Kai.
