Suri to live with Katie Holmes

[dev22]

per People.

Since she won primary physical custody, I have no doubt that she has something on him.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes agreed that daughter Suri should live primarily with her mother in New York with generous visitation by her father, PEOPLE has learned.

The terms of physical custody of the 6-year-old was a key element of the settlement announced Monday just days after Holmes filed for divorce, according to sources.

"They both love their daughter," says one source, "and Tom thinks she should be with her mother."

The superstar also "didn't want his family dragged through the mud," says the source. "Neither one of them wanted this to be hashed out in public."

Holmes has long loved New York and will enroll her daughter, who had been home-schooled by tutors, into a private school in Manhattan in the fall, according to sources.

Holmes, 33, and Suri recently moved into a three-bedroom apartment in New York City, where the pair have been spotted out. Cruise, 50, has been at home in Los Angeles with his teenage kids, Connor, 17, and Bella, 19, before returning to work Monday on his sci-fi thriller Oblivion.

I don't think "she has something on him." I think she was willing and ready to expose Scientology and that she had a damn good lawyer. I think the "church" probably a) provided his divorce attorneys, and then b) put a speedy end to it before the talk about the church continued.

"The superstar also "didn't want his family dragged through the mud," says the source. "Neither one of them wanted this to be hashed out in public." Exactly.

Glad to hear!

Is it even worth it to do joint custody with parents living across the country? I mean under normal circumstances.

Woo hoo! Welcome to the neighborhood! Now, I'll be on the lookout for a six-year-old judging my ugly shoes.

The Church has a number of scandals brewing and just really can't afford to fight this battle. Katie sucker punched them, was holding all the cards, and wasn't afraid to use them. Brave to her, and SUCK IT Tom Cruise and the COS!

I hope it sticks. I think Bella and Connor lived with Nicole in the beginning too, at least to an article I read over the weekend (sorry, too lazy to find and share). Im optimistic as the church is considerably weaker today than it was a 15 years ago.

I'm rolling my eyes at the quote about Tom thinking Suri should live with her mother. Suuure you do, Tom.
