Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Might Not Even Go to Court

From TMZ:

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have called a temporary truce while their lawyers try to negotiate a full divorce settlement … TMZ has learned.

Sources very familiar with the situation tell us … 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.

We’re also told the whole settlement could be ratified in New York if all goes well.  In other words, there may not be a move by Tom’s camp to transfer the case to California, where judges are more likely to award joint custody.

One source described the emotional state of the negotiations as “calm.”

… Really?  I don’t know about all this, you guys.  After a solid week of stories about how Katie Holmes spent months planning her escape from Tom Cruise and stories about how aggressive Katie is going to be during these divorce proceedings, it seems really strange to hear about how they’re suddenly making calm negotiations about the terms of the divorce.

My guess would be that TMZ is starting to take Tom’s side in this whole mess, or they’re at least making an effort to be completely neutral. Looking back, we could see the beginnings of that in the story about how the split has nothing at all to do with Scientology, and Katie is just trying to hurt Tom’s poor little feelings. At least, I hope that’s all this is. If Katie really is negotiating calmly with Tom, then that really doesn’t sound like she’s fighting as hard as we thought she was, does it?
