Nicole Kidman’s Divorce Filings Reveal Financial and Custody Details
Nicole Kidman’s recent divorce filings have provided a glimpse into her financial situation and custody arrangements with Keith Urban. The couple, who had been married for 19 years, officially filed for divorce on September 30, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. Alongside the divorce papers, a Parenting Plan was submitted, offering insight into the couple’s earnings and child custody.
The documents obtained by E! News include a Child Support Worksheet prepared by Nicole’s lawyer, which outlined both Nicole and Keith’s monthly income at $100,000 each. This figure aligns with their high-profile careers, though it may not fully reflect their actual earnings. Forbes recently estimated Nicole’s income to be even higher, noting that she was named the eighth highest paid star of 2024 and the highest paid actress, earning $31 million through her shows The Perfect Couple, Lioness, and Expats, as well as her films Babygirl and A Family Affair.
Despite their substantial incomes, the divorce documents confirmed that neither Nicole nor Keith would pay alimony or spousal support to the other. Additionally, the couple has opted not to provide child support, with the total amount ordered by both parties to assist with childcare noted as $0. This decision highlights their mutual agreement on financial matters post-divorce.
Custody Arrangements and Travel Plans
In terms of custody, Nicole, 58, requested to be the "primary residential parent" for her daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. According to the Parenting Plan, the girls will spend 306 days a year with Nicole and 59 days with Keith. Both parents signed off on the plan weeks before the official filing.
Nicole and Keith’s home base is Nashville, but their work schedules often require travel. Nicole’s career frequently takes her around the world, and her children have already lived in several countries, including France, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Vietnam, and Hong Kong.
“I'm willing to travel, which a lot of people are not,” Nicole told L’Officiel in 2024. “My kids are willing to travel… maybe less so now [that they’re older], but they're very interested in the world, too. They say they've got so many stamps on their passport, more than most people that are in their eighties.”
Separation and Social Media Activity
Following the confirmation of their separation, attention turned to their social media activity. Nicole posted a photo of the couple on Instagram in June to celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary, while Keith did not share anything. Instead, he simply commented a heart emoji on her post. This contrast sparked speculation about the state of their relationship.
Additionally, Nicole filed an application to become a resident of Portugal but did not list Keith on the form. A source explained that this omission was due to a scheduling conflict, as Keith was on tour in the U.S. and unable to attend the appointment. It is mandatory for applicants to be physically present for the visa application, and the source added that Keith is scheduled to submit his application at a later date that works with his tour schedule.
Broader Implications
Nicole’s divorce from Keith Urban comes after her previous marriage to Tom Cruise, from whom she has two children, Bella and Connor. Her ability to navigate multiple transitions—both personal and professional—has been a topic of interest. As she moves forward, the details of her divorce and custody arrangements offer a window into her life and priorities.
For those interested in following the timeline of Nicole and Keith’s divorce, further updates are expected as the legal process continues. Their story underscores the complexities of high-profile relationships and the challenges of balancing career and family life.
