Family Lawyer Eunice Ward Provides Commentary on Fox News Chicago about Holmes-Cruise Divorce

By Nottage and Ward on July 18, 2012

What do you usually get when two celebrities divorce? A long, hostile court battle complete with media frenzy. But that was not the case when Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise. Within a matter of weeks, the divorce was finalized. So what did they do that other celebrity couples aren’t doing? Experienced Illinois divorce attorney, Eunice Ward, has the answer.

Attorney Eunice Ward appeared on Fox News Chicago recently to provide insightful commentary on why this celebrity divorce was so different. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were both aware of what a divorce war could do to their lives and the life of their daughter, Suri, but more importantly, Katie Holmes was serious and prepared. She made the decision to divorce and took every step necessary to show her husband that she was not only serious about getting a divorce, but determined exactly what she wants in terms of a divorce settlement. Fortunately, Cruise does not appear to have presented any challenge to Holmes’ requests, which made the process that much smoother.

If you are committed to your decision and know exactly what you want, the divorce process will be much less stressful, whether you are in a high-profile relationship or not. Being prepared can ensure that you receive no surprises and shows that you are not only committed to your decision, but are well aware of the consequences of that decision. Even if your spouse is uncooperative, your level of preparation can still provide you with the information necessary to come to a favorable divorce agreement.
