Story Insight: Nicole Kidman kids custody in Divorce

- Parenting plan favors Nicole Kidman with 306 days
- Joint decision making on children, no child support
- Nashville based living, children remain with Nicole Kidman
Since it was revealed that Nicole Kidman wants primary custody of her children following her split from Keith Urban, searches for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's divorce have increased dramatically this week. Do fans think Kidman got what she wanted? Is Keith Urban going to challenge custody? And how does this affect their two girls, who have always appeared to be very close? Let's learn about all the drama that goes on behind the scenes.
Nicole Kidman's unexpected divorce filing this week not only confirmed the end of her 19 year marriage to Keith Urban, but it also revealed the Oscar winner's request to be named the primary residential parent of their two children, Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14). According to court documents analysed by several sources, Kidman will spend 306 days annually with the kids, while Urban only gets 59 days, roughly five times as many days with Nicole as he does with his father.
Why is this odd arrangement in place? According to sources, the stars discreetly worked out the specifics of their divorce during the summer, which had been simmering for months. According to the couple's official parenting plan, they would "promote a loving, stable, and nurturing environment" for their children, pledging to keep away from criticising one another and to work together to make decisions regarding the girls' futures. It's interesting to note that neither will pay monthly child support; instead, Keith Urban is said to have fulfilled all of his duties in full up front.
Social media is on fire, according to and fan reactions have been conflicting. "Nicole Kidman is proving she'll do anything for her kids legend!" reads one of the famous tweets. "Does this mean the girls won't see their dad at holidays?" asks another Reddit thread. According to court papers, weekends and holidays will alternate between Kidman for Mother's Day and Thanksgiving and Urban for Father's Day and Christmas.
The recent Netflix debacle and the leak of Marvel scripts have brought attention to Hollywood's privacy issues, and Kidman's strict custody requirements demonstrate how family life gets caught in the spotlight of celebrity.
What comes next, then? Will Nicole Kidman's preference for primary custody become the new standard for celebrities? While some insiders believe it prevents drama and safeguards the children, others question whether such a sharp separation could lead to polarising headlines.
