Katie Holmes Granted Primary Custody of Daughter in Shocking Divorce

The divorce of celebrity couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as rocked the world as more and more people investigate what happened in their marriage. According to Holmes, religious differences were a large component in the split, which she negotiated without Cruise’s knowledge while he was in Iceland shooting a movie. Holmes has left the Church of Scientology with daughter Suri and moved back into the Roman Catholic religion. She conducted the divorce on a disposable cell phone with her lawyer and then served a surprised Cruise the papers less than two weeks ago. The divorce has already been settled, partially due to a convenient prenuptial agreement that they had composed before their marriage in 2005.

Recently, The Washington Post revealed that Holmes will have primary custody of their six-year-old daughter Suri. An informant told the press that both parents love their daughter, but Cruise believes that his child should remain with her mother.
