Report: Jon Gosselin Plans to Sue 'Absentee Mom' Kate for Custody


Claiming she doesn't spent enough quality time with their eight children, Jon Gosselin is planning to sue ex-wife Kate Gosselin for primary physical custody, according to a report.

Pointing to her current stint on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, Jon's lawyer tells TMZ.com that Kate is "an absentee mom," that Jon wants primary custody, and that he might also seek to reverse the child-support arrangement, under which Jon now reportedly pays Kate some $20,000 a month.

In turn, Kate's lawyer said he had not received a formal filing yet but called the notion of such a lawsuit "reckless" and "offensive" and said Kate is actually "a devoted mother," according to RadarOnline.

The latest legal wrangling from Jon, 33, comes as Kate, 35, is about to start a publicity campaign for her new book, I Just Want You To Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith and Family, which is set to be released on April 13.

"It's almost as if he deliberately timed this to sabotage her efforts to promote the book," says one source close to the book's publisher. "Now she's once again going to defend herself as a mom when she should be able to just talk about this project that she worked so hard on."
