Although Kristin and her estranged husband Jay Cutler recently reunited for Father’s Day celebrations, they went their separate ways for the 4th of July.
While she was enjoying family time in the Midwest, Jay was high up in Colorado celebrating with friends.
The couple announced in April that they were ending their marriage of seven years, which they claimed was simply due to growing apart over time.
But Kristin later claimed in her divorce filing that Jay was ‘guilty of such inappropriate marital conduct as renders further cohabitation unsafe and improper.’
In addition, Kristin claimed in the filing that Jay insinuated misconduct on her part. The document, obtained by TMZ, says, ‘Any misconduct alleged or implied against her in the complaint for divorce was in response to and/or as a result of misconduct on behalf of her Husband,’
The reality star requested primary physical custody of their children, child support and payments for their health insurance, while Jay requested joint custody of the children.
