Former Hollywood golden couple Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe are set for a custody battle over their children Ava and Deacon.
After announcing their separation last year, Reese filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences, and filed for sole custody of their children with visitation rights granted to her husband.
Philippe has responded by filing for joint custody of seven-year-old Ava and three-year-old Deacon. While he won't apply for spousal support, though by law he could be entitled to half of Reese's fortune (the couple didn't sign a pre-nup), Ryan has made it clear he wants custody rights "equally allocated".
Reese has been linked with Jake Gyllenhaal since the end of her marriage, while Ryan remains single. |
