Reese's Estranged Hubby Wants ...

31. If nothing else, he should get at least half custody. He did the stay-at-home dad thing. He seems to have been even more hands on than she's been. They haven't ever had nannies according to magazine interviews with Reese and since she's been doing several movies a year and he's done about one on average, I'd say he's an excellent hands-on dad. If any one should get visitation rights with no custody, it should be Reese. I'm not saying she's a bad mom. She is a good mom, but she has A LOT of nerve seeking sole custody considering. Ryan needs to hire a great lawyer. He needs to not be screwed by Ms. American Sweetheart.

I'm not from California and I know the laws vary. If everything made during the marriage gets split 50:50 according to California state law, then I see no reason why this one should be an exception. Still, he should get half custody. That is far more important than the money. It's also not like he can't support himself indefinitely. He's a talented actor and I believe he makes $1-$2M per movie. It might be small compared to her income, but that's not chump change for a few months of working.

I hate the actresses behaving badly, probably more than most of you. I agree that Reese is a breath of fresh air, but the Southern debutante with a stick up her bum thing is irritating. As an avid Vogue-Glamour-Bazaar-Elle-W reader, I have come across many of her interviews over the years. She is probably the least fun celebrity. Humor and class are not mutually exclusive.

33. I'm amazed how dense you people are. The reason Reese "made all that $$$" was bcz she was in demand and Ryan wasn't Ryan didn't make some heroic sacrifice and turn down important work to be Mr. Mom. That is total BS.
Ryan was miserable to her, and this filing is so he CAN get money. Reese filed months ago asking for phyiscal custody. They have joint legal custody, but the kids primary residence is with her. Ryan is now filed to change all that. He wants to share physical custody...and the $$$ that will be involved. It isn't good for the kids, since these are so young, to have to be shuttled back and forth. Maybe when they are older, yes, but right now they need one place to call home and that's the family home where they were born and where they still live with their mother. The only reason Ryan is doing this is for $$$. He is contesting the settlement agreement she proposed. And you all are sitting here like jerks saying how adult he is. Du-uh!

34. You call other people dense but you who know nothing about this situation claim to know what is the motivating factor in this case as well as knowing where the kids are better off? Take it to your Reese fan board please! You are the jerk.

35. Ryan's #1 perogative will always be the kids. He couldn't care less about the money. There is no reason for him not to have equal rights and access to his children.

38. Ryan and Hugh Grant have much in common......and THAT is why Reese said enough is enough. Nothing to do with being a A-lister etc. etc.

39. Ryan and Hugh Grant have the same fetishes.......nothing to do with a on set fling, A-listing etc. etc. Reese had enough of his childish little fetishs........Oddly enough, another big hollywood star has fallen for the same woman in question. Difference is, he dosn't know her sordid past.

40. I hate Reese Witherspoon. Here is why... She is publicized as the "girl next door" so no one ever talks bad about her. EX: Headlines were: Look how amazing she looks after losing all that weight and her husband in the yellow dress. I cannot wait for the day when she goes drunk driving with her kids in the car and gets arrested... she needs to be tarnished!!!! :-)

41. I'm glad he is handling it like an adult. It's a shame he couldn't keep his pants zipped and act like a husband. I don't think he would be entitled to spousal support since he is the one who cheated and got caught.
Even still I like them both and wish them the best of luck. Also they had a Nanny taking care of the kids not just Ryan and the kids were with Reese when she was filming. Ryan's career has taken off now so they should both do well.
It's a shame that the much older Baldwin and Bassinger couldn't take a hint on how to behave from these 2 younger parents.

42. I'm not condoning what RP did, but its no secret that Reese was the the easiest person to deal with. I mean, the director of Legally Blonde said he wouldn't want to work with her again.

Just acknowledge there is two sides to every story before you all call RP names.

43. Ryan is just another downfallen dude who couldn't keep his zipper zipped. Goodbye, family.
