After the photos of Scott Disick getting cozy with a brunette surfaced online, long-time girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian has reportedly ended the relationship for good.
In a new report by Radar Online, the mom-of-three has hired a lawyer and is gunning for primary custody of her three kids with Disick.
"Kourtney has already hired a lawyer to make sure she gets primary custody of all of her children," said a source to entertainment portal.
The 36-year-old was reported to have kicked out her decade-long partner out of the house on Wednesday. "After Kourtney saw [Disick] partying with these other women she knows now more than ever that she is done once and for all. That was the nail in his coffin."
This isn't the first hurdle the couple has faced, Disick, 32, and the "Keeping Up With The Kardashian" star broke up in the past because of Scott's problem with alcohol. After rehab, the pair made up and it seemed like they were going strong. Another insider has claimed that with the 32-year-old's history of substance abuse, the famous reality star believes she won't "have any problems with getting sole custody because it is apparent that Scott is back partying."
Even though it's unfortunate news, it's shared by sources that Kourtney is going to be all right. She's said to be "stronger than ever and will do whatever it is necessary to make sure her children are hers and that they are safe."
Custody Battle Predictions
Certified family law specialist Kelly Chang Rickert (via Hollywood Life) has weighed in on what could happen with regards to custody. When it comes to the three kids, Mason, Penelope and Reign, the professional says, "Scott can still fight for custody, even with a history of substance abuse." She continued, "It may be an uphill battle and all depends on whether or not Kourtney will fight."
However, LA attorney Mychael Wilson has also put forth that this custody situation could be leverage for Disick. "Presumably, Scott will dangle the child custody carrot to bargain for higher child support payments for himself," said Wilson. "Basically, this means that Kourtney will gain more custody time of their kids in exchange for higher child support payments paid to Scott."
The scandal began when photos of Scott and ex-girlfriend Chloe Bartoli were released and they were looking too close for comfort. The photos were said to have been taken before the Fourth of July weekend and similarly, pictures of Kourtney and the kids have been released that show an absent dad.
