LOS ANGELES, Aug 24 (Reuters) – Katie Holmes walked away
without a payment or alimony in her divorce with Tom Cruise, but
the couple’s six-year-old daughter, Suri, stands to receive
$400,000 annually in child support until she turns 18, celebrity
website TMZ.com reported on Friday.
Citing sources familiar with court documents filed by the
former couple, whose divorce was finalized earlier this week,
TMZ said the “TomKat” pre-nuptial agreement blocked Holmes from
receiving any portion of the 50-year-old actor’s $250 million
fortune.
But Cruise will make child-support payments over the next 12
years that add up to $4.8 million, or $33,333.33 a month. TMZ
also reported that Cruise must pay Suri’s medical, education and
extracurricular expenses.
Cruise’s attorney declined to comment on the report, and a
lawyer for Holmes did not respond to Reuters’ request for
confirmation.
Holmes, 33, surprised Cruise in late June when she filed for
divorce from the “Mission: Impossible” star after a nearly
six-year marriage. Cruise was in Iceland shooting a movie at the
time.
The divorce, which took less than two weeks to settle,
captivated the world and prompted questions about whether Suri
will be raised in the Church of Scientology, with which her
father has long been closely associated.
