He added, “We thank Tom’s counsel for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution.”
The news came shortly after the pair released a joint statement to People, saying, "We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests. We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents."
Sources tell the magazine that Suri, 6, will likely stay with her mother in New York. Tom will get generous visitation rights.
Katie, 33, filed for divorce on June 29 in New York while Tom, 50, was in Iceland filming “Oblivion.”

If they could'nt make it with all the money and love they had the rest of the public looks very grim to find yr soul mate is not easy leaving out the beliefs.
it is a blessing for Katy & Suri, to be FREE! Believe me, I am soooo against divorce; divorce ruined my life. I also was forced into the end of my marriage by Scientology. In my case, the "Wasband" left me, after 27 years, in the street, and drove to his Scientology life, to live with his parents.
But Katy is young, talented, and has a strong family to support her. May she be brave enough to continue to protect her child from the dangers of a destructive cult, as Scientology is one.
NOT REALLY A FAN OF KATIE. SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD BABY OUT OF WEDLOCK THINKING NO BIG DEAL . . . NOT GET TO KNOW AND REALLY LOVE BABY'S DADDY. NOW SHE TAKES BABY AWAY FROM HER DADDY. WHY NOT WAIT AND FOLLOW HER OWN CATHOLIC RELIGON.
TOM CRUISE PUTS BACK MEN 50 YEARS BY SETTLING THIS EASY FOR ONLY "SIGNIFICANT" CONTACT. WHAT, HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE HIS DAUGHTER 50% OF THE TIME? HE SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN UP- - SAD. OBVIOUSLY DEVASTATED AND MAKING TOO MANY DECISIONS UNDER PRESSURE.
IF YOU ASK ME NICOLE KIDMAN IS A CLASS ACT. KATIE NOT SO MUCH, AND NOT SO MUCH A GREAT ACTRESS . . . I'D GIVE HER A C. DIDN'T GET BETTER BY MARRYING TOM CRUISE EITHER. EITHER YOU HAVE IT OR YOU DON'T. NICOLE AND TOM ARE BOTH A LISTERS . . . KATIE NOT SO MUCH.
Tom has a right to his beliefs and Katie was not a child when she married Tom. If I remenber she was 28 and many people spoke to her about this before the wedding. She made a choice and I wonder if her
decision was made with "Eyes Wide Shut" because she had a crush on Tom as a Teen! As a Christian, I know that we are to support and encourage one another and if our beliefs are different then have respect for their choices. Putting someone down for their beliefs
isn't NICE and NOT a Christian thing to do. We should pray for both of them to support and love their daughter for her to have a wonderful life.
IN REGARDS TO THE TOM CRUISE/KATIE HOLMES DIVORCE SETTLEMENT, I AM SO GLAD THAT SURI WILL SPEND THE MAJORITY OF HER TIME WITH HER MOTHER. I'M OPEN MINDED ENOUGH TO NOT CAST JUDGEMENT ON SCIENTOLOGY, HOWEVER, WHEN THERE IS TALK ABOUT SURI IS NOW OLD ENOUGH TO GO ON SCIENTOLOGY'S CRUISE SHIP TO BE FULLY INDOCTRINATED TO SCIENTOLOGY, I THINK THAT IS WAY TOO YOUNG TO BE BRAINWASHED AND SURI, SHOULD WAIT UNTIL SHE'S GROWN TO CHOOSE HER OWN RELIGION. AFTER KATIE MARRIED TOM CRUISE, MANY NEGATIVE THINGS HAPPENED TO HER. 1) HER FILM CAREER CAME TO A SCORCHING HALT. 2) SHE WAS MADE TO CUT HER HAIR SHORT AND STAY OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT 3)SHE WAS FORCED TO HAVE A "SILENT BIRTH" WHICH IS NOT ONLY UNNATURAL, BUT FOR ANYONE WHO'S GIVEN BIRTH, IT'S A HUGE RULE AND BURDEN TO MAKE A WOMAN NOT SCREAM OUT IN PAIN DURING BIRTH 4)KATIE SEEMED TO LOSE HER IDENTITY AND THE FEW TIMES SHE WAS SEEN IN PUBLIC, SHE WAS DEMURE AND QUIET AND STOOD QUIETLY BEHIND TOM WHILE HE DID THE TALKING FOR BOTH OF THEM. 5)I CAN VISIT THE OLD AND CURRENT RUMOR THAT TOM CRUISE MIGHT BE GAY AND THEREFORE, KATIE WAS IN A LOVELESS MARRIAGE AND ONLY WED FOR A "FRONT" TO TOM'S HOMOSEXUALITY. 6)KATIE JUST SEEMS REALLY UNHAPPY AND HER EYES ARE DEAD. IT'S NOT HARD TO SEE KATIE LOOKING SO FORLORN AND VACANT 7)KATIE IS SAVING SURI'S LIFE BY NOT MAKING HER BE INDOCTRINATED TO SCIENTOLOGY.
OF COURSE TOM CRUISE SETTLED THE DIVORCE AND CUSTODY WITHOUT SO MUCH AS HIM RAISING A FINGER OR HIS VOICE OR HAVING A BEVY OF EXPENSIVE LAWYERS FIGHT FOR HIM. HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE KATIE MAD OR ELSE SHE COULD POTENTIALLY SPEAK OUT ABOUT TOM BEING GAY AND HER MOST LIKELY BEING ARTIFICIALLY INSEMINATED. TOM DIDN'T FIGHT BECAUSE HE KNEW HOW MUCH BAD PRESS HE'D GET OUT OF KATIE'S TALKING AND HE DOESN'T WANT HIS COVER BLOWN.
I AM SO PROUD OF KATIE AND HER STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE TO FINALLY LEAVE TOM AND START A NEW LIFE THAT ISN'T MONITORED AND LED BY STRICT RULES.
