Tom Cruise is accused of paying his ex-wife "petty" amount of child support
(Web Desk) - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' marriage in 2006 was a major topic in Hollywood, but their divorce proceedings gained even more notoriety.
Their prenuptial agreement, which often takes centre stage in celebrity divorces, contained several intriguing clauses, especially in light of Tom Cruise's considerable wealth.
One of the quickest celebrity divorce settlements ever occurred in 2012 when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes finalised their divorce just 11 days after filing. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's ex-marriage produced two other children, Connor and Isabella, in addition to their daughter Suri.
Due to her prenuptial agreement with Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes attracted a lot of attention. She earned $400,000 a year in child support from the Hollywood celebrity, according to The Daily Mail.
Reports also indicated that Katie Holmes would receive their $35 million Beverly Hills home if they ever separated. While their divorce did happen, Katie ultimately secured child support and custody of Suri.
Tom Cruise expressed his surprise at the settlement, stating in 2013, "I didn't expect it."
At the time of their divorce, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes released an official statement, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting and their desire to keep family matters private. A source close to the situation revealed that Katie Holmes felt she was losing herself during her marriage to Cruise and wanted to regain her identity.
