NEW YORK (Reuters) – Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were
seeking ways to settle their divorce as the Hollywood stars entered the second
week of a widely followed custody battle that has put their young daughter and
the Church of Scientology in the media glare.
Celebrity website TMZ.com, citing an unnamed source,
reported that Holmes, 33, and Cruise, 50, are negotiating visitation, child
support and a property settlement. People magazine made similar claims and said
the estranged couple wishes to avoid airing marital issues in court.
Attorneys for Cruise and Holmes did not return requests for
comment on Sunday (Monday in Manila), but Holmes was photographed a day earlier
entering her attorney’s office in New York.
In a move that Cruise’s spokeswoman said left the “Mission:
Impossible” star “deeply saddened,” Holmes filed divorce papers in New York in
late June, ahead of last week’s U.S. Independence Day holiday, citing
irreconcilable differences.
According to her attorneys, Holmes is seeking sole custody
of their 6-year-old daughter, Suri, and much speculation has surfaced that
Holmes wants to raise the young girl outside the Church of Scientology, of
which Cruise is a key member. The estranged couple married in 2006.
