Katie Holmes has broken her silence on her impending divorce from Tom Cruise, telling a reporter from the New York Daily News, "I'm alright. Thank you." But when it comes to fighting for sole custody of six-year-old Suri, she is playing hardball.

Stepping out in public on the Fourth of July holiday for only the second time since she announced she was divorcing Tom, 50, Katie tried to keep Suri's life as normal as possible.

Katie, 33, and Suri stepped out in New York to pick up some groceries, including ground beef, hamburger rolls and strawberries, and also made a visit to a nearby ice-cream parlour (See the pictures and video here) .

"She's been miserable for a long time, but the last couple of weeks, she's been happy — like she's been set free," an unnamed insider told Us Weekly.

Meanwhile, the Dawson's Creek actress has instructed her lawyers to file for an emergency custody and child support hearing in New York, where she has recently rented an apartment after moving out of the home she shared with Tom. "Paperwork regarding Suri's custody was filed yesterday," an insider told Rader Online.

While both have hired top lawyers, Katie's choice of top divorce attorney Allan E Mayefsky is said to be a tactical move.

"She's making it clear she's going to play tough," legal analyst and author Lisa Bloom told the Daily Beast.

"Cruise is more of a high-profile celebrity than she is, so he has a greater distance to fall if grievances are aired. Everyone has dirty laundry they don't want aired. She's saying, 'Play fair with me or else'," she said.

"Of course she would choose an experienced and tough lawyer. But the fact that she'd choose someone who's been known to go to media in the past signals that she might have hired him for that reason."

Tom's team of lawyers led by one of LA's top divorce attorneys, Dennis Wasser, is said to have already brought on a New York firm to coordinate the case, Radar Online reported.

Why is it that people on the outside can see so much clearer than those close up. This man has been a control freak gone really weird for such a long time. Her parents must have been frantic when she hooked up with him. One can only imagine what he will do to get full custody of his daughter - look at what he did to keep the other two children. Good Luck to Katie - somehow I think she will need it.
Katie who are you kidding,you knew what you were getting into,poor Suri has no chance looking at her with you dressed up like a min me let her be a little girl.
I was wondering when TomKat's marriage would crash. Katie was obviously waiting for the right moment to end it. It certainly wasn't going to be third time lucky for Tom. Why can't he marry someone from the Church of Scientology (or should I say the "Cult" of Scientology). I hope Katie ends up with a normal loving husband like Nicole Kidman did. Katie, I'm glad your leaving that Demon. As they say "you can't judge a book by it's cover". All the best Katie!!
Someone really should tell Katie that 6 year olds are quite capable of walking on their own. I don't think I've seen a pic yet where she isn't carrying the kid.
All our love and best wishes Katie and Suri, you have our support 100%!!! Maybe Tom will finally see himself as he really is, this is his third divorce, there's definately something wrong (scientologist) with him.
Hopefully she can make a clean break and move on. Tom was wrong for her in the start and the Scientology cult is wrong for everyone. All the best!
Good on you Katie. You have been looking misrable lately. So hope to see you happy and smiling again soon. Also hope to see on our screens again!!
Don't act like you know Tom Cruise or the type of person he is.
I wish katie all the best in her fight for custody. Scientology is a dagerous cult that promotes child abuse and neglect. it uses brain washing techniques and slave labour. The celebrities who belong have more mney than sense. no place for a child or a sane person.
It was always going to be a matter of time until Kate realised Tom's controlling nature. Love is blind,when the love goes we need to be able to live with what is left.Tom is no prize in the Man stakes.He is just another floored celebrity.If he did not have money,no one would want to know him.Really pleased to see Kate is strong enough to break from this person ,Go Kate.
