Heidi Klum and Seal’s custody battle in divorce heats up

The custody battle in Heidi Klum and Seals divorce is taking a turn and their children are thrust in the middle.

Although, the split between Klum and Seal seemed amicable at first things have heated up since she filed the official divorce papers. Klum and her divorce attorney asked for sole custody of the children, giving Seal visitation rights. The divorce papers also stated that the couple had a postnuptial agreement.

But when Seal filed his divorce papers he asked for joint physical custody of their four children and also said the couple had “community and quasi assets” to divide.

A source close to the couple told Star magazine, “He’s bitter about the break up. Of course he’s trying to get whatever he can out this.” Klum is worth an estimated $70 million while Seal has assets totaling $15 million.

The source added that Seal was a “deadbeat” dad, saying, “He’d disappear for weeks leaving her with the kids, without telling her where he was,” adding, “That’s one reason they’re getting divorced.”

Divorce battles can get heated especially when children are involved. Couples need the skills of a divorce lawyer to help them draft a custody agreement that both parties will find acceptable. If this proves to be impossible, a divorce attorney will be fight to make certain the children are placed with the parent who is most capable parent.
