Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban’s Custody Plan Revealed

by

New details have come to light regarding Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce.

Just one day after reports surfaced about their split, Nicole officially filed for divorce from her husband in Nashville on September 30th. According to documents obtained by TopMob News, the Academy Award-winning actress stated the filing date as the date they separated and also submitted a proposed plan for taking care of their two children.

Nicole, 58, filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.” She requested to be designated the “primary residential parent” for her two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

As part of the “Permanent Parenting Plan,” the court documents detailed a schedule for the teenagers, Sunday and Faith. It stated they would live with their mother for 306 days each year and with their father for 59 days, with Keith receiving parenting time every other weekend.

The former couple also decided how to share major holidays. However, if a holiday lands on a Monday, the parent who had the children over the prior weekend will continue to have them until 6 p.m. that Monday.

Regarding extended school breaks, Sunday and Faith will divide their time between their parents. Keith, 57, and Nicole will alternate having the children, with one parent taking them in odd-numbered years and the other in even-numbered years.

The plan also emphasized a cordial co-parenting dynamic.

The parents will maintain a loving, stable, and supportive relationship with their child, even after their divorce,” the document explained. “They agree not to say negative things about each other or anyone in the other parent’s family. They will also encourage each child to continue loving both parents and feel comfortable with both families.”

The former couple has also agreed that neither side will be paying child support.

As TopMob News reported earlier, the couple had split during the summer. Nicole finalized the paperwork on Sept. 6, and Keith had signed his portion on Aug. 29.

In her divorce papers, Nicole asked the court to legally end her marriage to Keith, whom she married in 2006. She requested that both she and Keith be given back all the rights and privileges they had before they were married, essentially returning them to the status of single individuals. This means she is seeking an absolute divorce.

Soon after the news of their separation became public, TopMob News discovered that Keith was the one who initiated the split. Sources say the Oscar-winning actress had been trying to repair their relationship. The couple had been living separately since early summer, around the time the Grammy-winning singer started his global tour.

Distance wasn’t their only hurdle, either. 

“Nicole and I got married in June 2006,” Keith said while giving a speech to honor her at the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala in 2024, as reported by People. He continued, “Just four months into our marriage, my struggles with addiction-which I hadn’t addressed at all-completely destroyed our relationship.”

The singer of “One Too Many” went to rehab, and he later shared that he didn’t know if Nicole would stay with him during that time.

I honestly didn’t know what the future held for us… and if you’re curious to see a true example of love in practice, then consider this,” he went on. “Nic overcame every doubt, I’m certain even her own inner critic, and she chose love. And here we are tonight, 18 years later.”

Regarding Nicole-who has two children, Isabella Cruise, age 32, and Connor Cruise, 30, with her former husband, Tom Cruise-she and he fell in love instantly after meeting at a gala in Los Angeles in 2005.

Oh my gosh, hearing Nicole talk about it still gives me chills! She told People back in 2019 that things got *so* intense. She actually said-and I quote-that she genuinely believed he was the love of her life. Can you even imagine?! It’s just… everything.

She explained, “Perhaps it’s due to my romantic nature, the fact that I’m an actress, or my strong religious beliefs, but I simply had a feeling, ‘Ah, this is the one.’
