Kristin Cavallari wants full custody of her three kids, Camden, 7, Jaxon, 5, and Saylor, 4, because of her husband Jay Cutler's misconduct.
On Sunday, the couple announced their split from their ten-year relationship. The former Chicago Bears quarterback filed his divorce petition on April 21, where he asks joint custodians and joint decision-makers of their three children.
Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler File Divorce Petition
Cutler states in his petition that he "has always been available at home as a parent and primary caretaker" of the minors. Still, Cavallari counteracted and said that she "has been the primary residential parent" of the kids, as stated in her complaint file on April 24.
The founder of "Uncommon James" wants to be "the primary residential custodian" of their children, and the former NFL star will be given "reasonable periods of parenting time."
Cavallari is requesting that her ex-husband pay child support "in an amount consistent with the Tennessee Child Support Guidelines" or as deemed by the court. Apart from that, she also wants the 36-year-old quarterback to pay their kids' insurance and all uncovered dental, medical, eye care, orthodontic, prescription drugs, and all other health-related expenses.
Jay Cutler cited "irreconcilable differences" for the grounds of separation, while Cavallari cited the same with an addition of "inappropriate marital conduct." Both did not agree on the date of their formal separation. Cavallari stated that separation happened on the day that they returned to the US that is on April 7, after spending several weeks in the Bahamas.
Cavallari also stated in her filing that Cutler had conducted inappropriate marital misconduct, which makes "cohabitation unsafe and improper."
She also indicated in her divorce petition that any misconduct filed against her is a result of her ex-husband's misconduct against her. However, Cutler did not allege his ex-wife with misconduct in his petition.

The couple both shared on their Instagram accounts that they would be separating their ways with great sadness. According to their posts, they both have love and respect for one another and are grateful for the memories that they shared. However, because they are growing apart, they decided to split from their relationship. They requested from their fans and followers to give them privacy as they go through this difficult time.
A source told People that Cavallari and Cutler have been having problems with their relationship even before they had their vacation in the Bahamas.
That same source also said that the alleged rumor of Jay Cutler and Kelly Henderson had nothing to do with the couple's divorce. Since Cavallari has been so busy juggling her work-life balance, and Cutler is not interested in any of it, so they decided to call it quits.
