Kourtney wants custody of the kids… and she’s ready to fight

by

It's been almost three weeks since Kourtney Kardashian officially kicked Scott out of her house (and her life), and she's already getting lawyered up.

The reality star has reportedly taken on the services of celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, in an effort to ensure she gets everything she wants in the split. While the couple are not married, they were together for almost a decade, and have three young children together.

The top priority on Kourtney's list is having full custody of the kids, five-year-old Mason, three-year-old Penelope and seven-month-old Reign. Unsurprisingly, Kourtney is determined to protect her little ones from Scott's ongoing spiral of drink, drugs and partying, and so she is looking for "sole custody," a source tells Us Weekly.

Mum-of-three Kourtney met with Hollywood lawyer Laura earlier this week to iron out the details of her legal options, after first consulting with her at the start of July, just days before her split from Scott was confirmed.

And while sole custody might seem like an extreme demand, those close to Scott say he won't be contesting it. "Scott's friends don't think he'll challenge Kourtney," one insider tells the magazine. 

After trying to hide the events of the last few weeks from Mason and Penelope, Kourtney finally did her best to explain the situation to them this week. "Since Scott hasn’t been around, Kourtney finally had to have a talk with Mason and Penelope who have been asking a lot of questions," an insider told Hollywood Life.

“Kids are smart and they knew something was wrong and that their daddy was gone for way too long,” the source explained. “Kourtney sat them down and did her best to explain that their daddy wasn’t going to live with them anymore."

Sounds like the famous mum has a tough couple of months ahead.
