Now THIS is a 180 from everything we’ve been hearing about Tom Cruise’s and Katie Holmes’ divorce! There may not be a divorce battle royale after all, complete with custody fight: according to both TMZ and People, Tom and Katie’s attorneys are trying to work out a divorce settlement that would resolve everything without ever going to court. A source told People:

“Neither one of them wants this to be hashed out in public.”

Sources told TMZ:

…there are NO immediate plans for either side to go to court. There will be no court hearing Monday, Tuesday or in the foreseeable future, unless the negotiations fall apart. Sources tell us the lawyers are negotiating child custody, visitation, child support and a property settlement…One source described the emotional state of the negotiations as “calm.”

For Suri’s sake, I hope Katie and Tom are able to work something out amicably. Regardless of who gets legal custody, both of them are sure to still be involved in Suri’s life, and the less animosity between her parents, the better.
