Jon and Kate Gosselin Reach Custody Settlement

Wow. What will this world be like if these two nut jobs are actually getting along and enjoying a respectful, amicable relationship? We may find out, because the epic child custody war between Jon and Kate Gosselin is officially over. The former spouses/stars of Jon and Kate Plus 8 have reached a settlement agreement. The terms are extremely confidential, but the new deal replaces their previous one, in which Jon was on the hook for child support he could not pay. Jon filed documents in a Pennsylvania court asking for custody of their eight kids in April, looking to renegotiate those child support payments. He then dropped that lawsuit and sought a truce with Kate, which he apparently got. JON & KATE PLUS ALIMONY: The good ol' days are long gone, but at least by squaring away their legal differences, the Gosselin family is moving forward positively. Earlier this month, the often-contentious former couple officially agreed on a new arrangement that involves both custody and financial obligations. The terms of the agreement have been sealed by the court. "An official agreement between Jon and Kate was reached and they will be working together for the benefit of their children," a close source confirms. Good for them. Bad for celebrity gossip lovers accustomed to wars of words, tearful implosions and baseless legal accusations, but good for them. The Avatars of Second Life
