(London Daily Mail) The divorce of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will not be recognized by Scientology, according to the church’s doctrines.

The religion offers little advice to those for whom divorce has become the only option, preferring to focus on providing couple’s therapy to fix relationships.

Katie, 33, filed divorce papers from 49-year-old Cruise on Thursday after it was reported that she had been unhappy in the marriage for years. The former Dawson’s Creek actress was seeking sole custody of the couple’s six-year-old daughter Suri, in what is expected to become a bitter legal battle.
