Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce reports have been doing the rounds for a while now. TMZ confirmed the news of their separation. The report stated that they have been living separately since the beginning of summer, and the Babygirl star has been holding the family together during the tough time, while Keith has moved out of their family home and bought a house in Nashville. Now, People confirmed that the actress has officially filed for divorce from the singer on September 30, 2025, just a day after the news of their split surfaced.
According to the tabloid, documents filed in Davidson County, Tennessee, show the couple’s divorce details, which include their finances and property, custody of their two children – Faith Margaret (14) and Sunday Rose (17), alimony, child support and the official date of their separation.
Marilyn Chinitz, a matrimonial and family law attorney at Blank Rome in New York City who is not involved in the case, revealed to the news outlet that the couple had worked this out long before announcing it.
According to People, here are more details from the couple’s divorce filing.
When Was The Divorce Filed & What Was The Reason For It?
As per the divorce documents, Keith and Nicole’s official date of separation is September 30, 2025. According to the Marital Dissolution Agreement, Nicole and Keith ‘have experienced marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences,’ which led the actress to file for divorce against Keith. However, the filing doesn’t elaborate on any further details.
What Is The Parental Plan Signed By The Couple?
The couple has signed a parenting plan to govern their shared custody of their daughters, in which Nicole is named “primary residential parent,’ which means that their daughters will get to spend 306 days of the year with Nicole and 59 days of the year with Keith.
Keith will have custody of the children every other weekend, from Saturday at 10 am to Sunday at 6 pm.
Marilyn was quoted by the tabloid as saying, “There’s no midweek parenting time provided for in the agreement. He gets Father’s Day every year, and they share Thanksgiving on an alternate yearly basis. But when it comes to Christmas in odd-numbered years, [Kidman] has the entire winter vacation from the time that school ends until the time school resumes after the winter vacation. In even-numbered years, they’re gonna share that [winter vacation time] equally.” (sic)
She further added, “It’s only that period of time [that] gets shared equally. Otherwise, [Kidman] gets every Christmas in odd-numbered years, which would be this year.”
The actress will also have custody of her daughters every Easter, Mother’s Day and spring vacation on even-numbered years, while Keith will have custody on spring vacation in odd-numbered years. Marilyn said that during summer vacations, Keith will have the children on alternate weekends, and each parent can spend two full weeks with them.
“They Will Not Speak Badly of Each Other”
The parenting plan also states that Keith and Nicole ‘will not speak badly of each other’ or their families and will encourage their children in loving both parents and be comfortable in both households.
Within 60 days of the divorce filing, both Nicole and Keith are required to attend a parenting seminar.
Child Support
There is no provision for direct child support; the filing states Keith Urban has prepaid all child-support obligations (nanny/child-care, private school, extracurriculars) through each child’s majority/high-school graduation.
As per the agreement, both parents will make joint decisions on important matters like education, non-emergency healthcare, religious upbringing and extracurricular activity. Marilyn explained that, according to the agreement, if the parties do not agree on a major decision for either child, Nicole will have the final say.
No Alimony Will Be Paid By Either Keith Or Nicole
The couple’s agreement also mentioned, “Neither party shall pay any amount and/or form of alimony or spousal support to the other. All alimony and spousal support claims are hereby forever waived by the parties.” Marilyn pointed out that the agreement says each party is responsible for their own debts.
No Joint Assets
As per the agreement, “The parties acknowledge that, to the best of their knowledge, there are no assets owned by them, either jointly or individually, and that they have no interest in any assets, which are not reflected and addressed by the terms of this Agreement.”
Personal Belongings Divided
According to the agreement, ‘All household furniture, furnishings, appliances, art, and other items of personal property’ have been divided in a way that both parties are happy with. It states, “Each party is awarded his or her own clothing, jewelry and personal items, free and clear of any and all claims of the other party.”
Marilyn explains, “Essentially, she’s keeping what’s hers. He is keeping what’s his. It’s pretty much already been divided to their mutual satisfaction.”
A similar simple agreement was made regarding their vehicles. Marilyn said, “If it’s in your name, I waive all my claims. If it’s in my name, you waive all your claims.”
