Tom Cruise has filed for divorce in California just days after Katie Holmes ended their five-year marriage.

He will attempt to persuade judges that proceedings should be held in LA, not in New York, where Holmes filed official papers last Thursday.
Cruise, 49, is said to be 'a broken man' since Holmes announced her decision last week. She reportedly does not want the couple's daughter, Suri, to be raised a Scientologist – a religion that Cruise is devoted to – and will ask for sole custody.
But Holmes knows that she stands a far better chance of winning her case in New York than in LA.

As a result, she has been pictured in the city every day for the last fortnight to make sure there's no doubt that it counts as her home.
Cruise, meanwhile, wants to ask for the proceedings to continue in LA where the couple are normally based. He will be asking for joint custody of their daughter.
'Team Cruise is going to assert that Katie doesn't meet the residency requirements to file in New York, and that both live full time in California, specifically Los Angeles,' a source told website RadarOnline.
'Tom will file for divorce in California, and will request joint custody. There is absolutely no way that he is going let Katie have sole custody. This is going shape up to be a very contentious custody battle.'
