Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie might be going through a custody battle after the amicable split. Their 3-year marriage ended when the actress filed for divorce in Feb this year after the sports star's alleged druken nights while approaching women.
The Lizzie McGuire star is currently up for a custody battle as his now ex-husband Mike Comrie demanded for a joint legal custody of their 3-year old son Luca. After a year of separation, the then in love couple has ended their marriage of three years.
Mike Comrie filed his divorce response on April 16, 2015 asking for a joint-custody of their son Luca. According to sources close to the singer/actress, she was worried about her ex-beau's wild party lifestyle to affect his parenting style if a joint-custody is granted.
Hillary Duff opened up about the divorce in March issue of Cosmopolitan expressing doubts about marriage and spending life-long commitments as a couple. She mentioned how much in love they were when they started dating which lead to marriage and that the realization they are no longer the match they used to be slowly sets in. In her interview, she quoted:
"Mike and I were very in love when we met. We both really wanted to get married. I'd been working since the age of 11 or 12, so making that choice at a young age seemed right for me. Maybe it wasn't, but we spent the majority of our time together really happy. It wasn't working well enough to stay together, but there was still a lot of love involved. It was just a slow set-in of us not being the match that we used to be. I'm lucky for the person he is and I am, and how we decided to handle this."
On her view about divorce, she added:
"I don't want to sound bitter because I'm definitely not, but I don't know if people are meant to be together forever. Things happen over a long relationship that you can't always fight. A marriage of 20 years, the accomplishment of that must feel really great, but there are also huge sacrifices. I just always want to fight for happiness."
Forever and ever doesn't apply to everyone and the Cinderally Story star have managed the experience well. Although a custody battle may be enevitable in their case, fans, family and friends are hoping that Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie will stay in good terms throughout the proceedigns.
