LOS ANGELES — Jon and Kate Gosselin inched closer to finalizing their divorce agreement on Saturday with a successful day at the arbitration table.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 stars had such a productive hearing that the second day of arbitration, which was scheduled for Monday, is no longer necessary. According to TMZ, the two main issues remaining are distribution of assets and child support. The celebrity news source says neither side is seeking spousal support and that Jon has already conceded that he won't fight Kate for primary custody of their eight kids.
The day began with Jon showing up with a bouquet of long-stemmed red roses for his estranged wife.
"He brought that as a peace offering to break the ice and try to bring the war to an end," his attorney, Mark Heller, told People.
While Kate refused the gesture, Heller told the mag he's hopeful the couple's bitter divorce can be finalized by the end of the year.
"It was a positive move in the right direction for us to bring them together to the mediation table," he said. "Obviously before two warring parties can smoke the peace pipe, they have to sit down at a table and address the issues that brought them to the skirmish."
