Jay Cutler filed for divorce on April 21st and both parties would announce that fact to the world with a joint statement.
It read, “The statement posted on social media read, “With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce. We have nothing but love and respect for one another and are deeply grateful for the years shared, memories made, and the children we are so proud of. This is just the situation of two people growing apart. We ask everyone to respect our privacy as we navigate this difficult time within our family.”
The divorce between the two didn’t take long to become no longer as amicable as they first had planned when Kristin Cavallari filed for primary custody of their three children, a source close to the pair told Entertainment Tonight.
Cavallari filed documents obtained by the outlet requesting primary custody of their three children, which was something Cutler reportedly did not see coming.
“Kristin and Jay planned to keep everything amicable, but that’s not the case anymore,” ET’s source said. “Kristin filing for primary physical custody upset Jay. He loves his children more than anything and thinks the couple should be reasonable and split custody. …Kristin has made comments about possibly moving back to L.A., which is also a concern of Jay’s, as home for the family is currently Nashville.”
The court documents aslo revealed that Cavallari listed the date of separation as April 7, claiming “marital misconduct” and “irreconcilable differences” were the cause for their split and saying Cutler “is guilty of such inappropriate marital conduct as renders further cohabitation unsafe and improper.” She added that “any misconduct alleged or implied against her in the complaint for divorce was in response to and/or as a result of misconduct on behalf of the Husband.”

She is also pushing for child support and request the former NFL QB to pay for the children’s health insurance and maintains a life insurance policy with her as the sole beneficiary. Cutler has since hit back and requested joint custody and equitable distribution of the marital assets, claiming that he has been “the available at home parent and primary caretaker of the parties’ minor children.” Cavallari’s filing denies Cutler’s claim of primary care taking, calling herself “the primary residential parent” and attesting she is “a fit and proper person to be named Primary Residential Parent.”
Things will likely only get nastier as the months go on.
