Katie Holmes reportedly wants sole legal custody of her six-year-old daughter Suri.

The actress—who has filed documents to divorce Tom Cruise based on ''irreconcilable differences'' after five years of marriage—has asked for legal custody, primary residential custody and a ''suitable amount'' of child support from her husband, TMZ.com reports.

In addition she has asked for the division of their property, although no mention of their pre-nuptial agreement is mentioned in the documents.

Tom—who is currently in Iceland filming new action movie Oblivion—is believed to have ''not seen'' the divorce documents, which were filmed anonymously in New York, coming.

Katie was scared she was turning ''into a robot'' while with Tom.

The former Dawson's Creek actress felt like she had changed ''so much'' in her time with Tom and found their relationship had become ''too much'' for her.

A source said: ''After five years of this Katie really felt like she was going crazy and that she was actually turning into the robot that the press had always made her out to be.

"Katie has actually got a great personality and she used to be spunky and feisty. She changed so much when she was with Tom, she became downtrodden and insipid.

''In the end it just got too much, she was sick of it and decided she had to do something. Basically, she grew up and lost the starstruck goggles she had been wearing.''

Katie also began to question her life with Tom and how much he made decisions.

The source added to RadarOnline.com: ''Katie did not want Tom making all the decisions in Suri's life, and that's what was going on.

"She decided it was high time she started deciding on what was best for her daughter, or at least having an equal say, and she knew that would be impossible if she remained Mrs. Tom Cruise.''

The 49-year-old actor—who already has children Connor, 17 and Isabella, 19 from his relationship with Australian beauty Nicole Kidman—recently said he did not want to have any more children because he was happy with his lot.

He said: ''I'm so happy with three. I'm enjoying every second with Suri that I have. And I'm enjoying the relationship with my older kids, and the way it is right now.''

This will be Tom's third failed marriage following splits from Nicole and fellow Hollywood star Mimi Rogers.

    Once again another American couple chooses the easy way out. It takes a lot of sacrifice on the woman's part to take on the role of a wife and mother and be successful in both. Sana hindi muna sila nag-baby if her career was that important to her. If Tom was truly controlling of her, that was her choice, she allowed it to happen; it did not have to be that way and they could still remain married. I think because of their daughter coming early in their marriage and her strong belief in wanting to be a hands-on mom, she had no choice but to step back from her career and be a real mom. Her career started to suffer because of her being away, and she thinks the solution is to divorce Tom. Her decision to break their marriage and family is just so wrong and selfish. Depsite the fact that she think she wants to be a good mom to her daughter, she is going to even break her daughter's heart through separation. Why they can't work it out through counseling and instead ruin their lives through divorce is s

    Tom cruise is a control freak spouse nawala ang freshness at pagiging masayahin ni kate ng napangasawa si tom. Pinili nya makipaghiwalay kesa maging nuts because of tom cruise scientology thing. Kate grow up as catholic and i think she remain catholic in her heart. Poor kate its better to say quits if your not happy anymore s ainyong relationship kesa magpakamartir. Si suri ay mas makakabuting nasa kay Kate kesa kay Tom at baka ma impluwensyahan ng scientolgy thing ekek na yan. Goodluck Kate may God bless and guide you sayong mga desisyon.
