Jon and Kate Gosselin: the final chapter?

An arbitrator dealing with the fractured reality couple has rendered a decision regarding how Jon, 32, and Kate, 34, should divide their money and other property, TMZ reports.

This recommendation -- its details will remain confidential -- has been forwarded to the judge presiding over the couple's divorce.

TMZ's sources say that the final divorce degree is now "imminent." The soon-to-be-ex spouses have both consented, and have asked the judge to sign their divorce papers, thus ending their ten-year marriage.

Look back on Jon and Kate's battles and other big breakdowns of 2009

It's been a busy time in court for these TV stars. Last Thursday Dec. 10, Jon Gosselin was ordered by a Maryland judge to stop making media appearances. TLC claims the reality dad had been violating a contract with the network.

  • December 18, 2009 - 3:42am JON AND KATE AND HAILEY AND TLC SUCK!

    WELL SAID TEAM KIDS! SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE ON THE KIDS SIDE. THEIR PARENTS ARE TRULY EVIL AND PSYCHO!! I'LL BET THEY FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF COURTNEY LOVE'S DAUGHTER AND TRY TO MAKE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS (E.G., JODI AND KEVIN) THEIR LEGAL GUARDIAN. OR THEY'LL GET EMANCIPATED FROM JON AND KATE AS SOON AS THEY CAN!

    Kate is the loser of all losers. I've heard that she is so pathetic that she frequents these message boards. She's giddy from her settlement and can't contain herself -- she's feeling so invincible and in control -- it's orgasmic for her. Kate really could do herself a favor and be more like Jodi as a mother and a person in general. Kate is oblivious to how she comes across, and now that Jon won't be around to make her look great in comparison to the crap he's pulled she'll be the next victim of self-sabotage. She has no clue as to how she comes across and how truly condescending she is. Kate will be on her way (further) down next.

  • December 18, 2009 - 2:06am STFU

    YOU ARE CRAZY'''LMAO!!! YOU ARE TALKING TO SOMEONE BELIEVING THEY ARE HAILEY GLASSMAN?? HA HA HA HA, AND HAILEY HAS A NEW BOYFRIEND ALREADY AND JON HAS BEEN STALKING THEM, HA HA HA, HE IS THE LOSER OF ALL LOSERS. SO CALM DOWN THERE, TAKE YOUR DAILY MEDS AND BREATH. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

    the whole family is a bunch of losers. hope no one is talking about them at midnight on new year's eve or we will be stuck with all 10 of these loser's for the rest of 2010

  • December 17, 2009 - 9:42pm STFU EWOK -- are you Helly?

    I reread my comments and I must've hit a nerve somewhere in my analysis. Could it be Hailey and her brain giant family who is offended. The truth hurts, Hailey (and family), but it will also set you free. You'll need to do a lot more than twitter about bonding over doing face masks together and saying dumb things about how Jon got to Helly's mother to get Helly to take him back if you want respect from the public. Otherwise, your work and your worth are about like the mud on your faces (the masks). You have truly damaged your name Hailey Glassman et al for a LONG time to come. I think a tell-all book about Jon and a solid savings plan (or marrying some rich guy) are the only hopes for a financially secure future. But hey, that's just my opinion.

  • December 17, 2009 - 9:37pm STFU EWOK - you STFU

    Hey STFU EWOK, why don't you STFU. You sound like someone who has no control over your emotions. That's not good for your health. Take a deep breath and calm down. Hopefull, you aren't Jon nor Kate nor anyone directly involved, so you shouldn't be so easily offended and prone to OVERREACT. So, you STFU -- and work on your intelligence and poise... you could use it!

  • December 17, 2009 - 4:52pm gethelpsoon

    HELLO!!!!!! THEY ARE BOTH GIANT LOSERS. NEITHER ONE IS WORTH WIPING YOUR A$$ ON. LET THEM DIE QUIETLY

  • December 17, 2009 - 3:50pm JON IS BROKE!!

    Jon Gosselin is broke, according to reports. The ex-reality show patriarch’s checking account is running on empty, leaving him unable to cover his legal bills, Fox411com says. Jon Gosselin Sex Tape “Jon’s in pretty serious financial trouble because his plan for making money was shut down in court,” an insider spilled this week. On Oct. 13, a judge ordered Jon to return $180,000 he had withdrawn from the joint account he shared with his estranged wife and former Jon & Kate Plus 8 co-star, Kate Gosselin. Jon’s finances were further crippled last week, when TLC successfully blocked Gosselin, 32, from making any profitable public appearances. The financial blows have called the embattled OctoDad’s once comfortable lifestyle to fall by the wayside. “He has warned his lawyers that he can’t pay them and if he doesn’t succeed against TLC, he will have no funds. He’s even gone so far as to say that if they want to be paid, they will have to sue him.”

  • December 17, 2009 - 1:49pm Make A Change Jon

    Jon is a bigger moron than I thought. He is still living with Hellyzilla and she is seeing someone else. He loves punishment. Now he has gotten a gun. What next Jon? She isn't worth shutting. Not worth the price of a bullet. You will just go to Jail and If she makes it will still move on. She caused your mess with Kate and now she is just trying to cause more trouble. Tell her to move and be done with her. She is really not worth the trouble.

    have even forgotten what sparked their divorce..uninteresting..

  • December 17, 2009 - 1:59am EWOK comment part 2

    While I'm on a roll here and diagnosing Jon (I don't have any psych degree and it shows), lets be honest about Hailey. She's no mental giant herself. Twittering about her and her mom doing face masks -- or "mommy" as she said. What female over the age of 10 publicly refers to her mother as "mommy". Hailey has no ambition nor career prospects -- and Jon was able to talk her mother into pleading his case? WTF is up with that. Mommy ain't too smart. And then daddy was so desperate for attention that he hooked up with TLC to give Kate a free tummy tuck. What kind of a legit normal doctor seeks out that kind of publicity? I hope none of Jon's kids inherit his stupidity. He must have a very low IQ. And Hailey and her parents are in the same IQ ballpark -- with no emotional intelligence. I hope those kids can get over all the obstacles Jon and Kate have placed in their way. Great opportunities and a priviliged life, but totally screwed up role models for parents. Kate is oblivious to how she comes across. She talks to her audience like we're all five years old and she's the mommy. Lots of baggage there -- grew up in a trailer park and flew for the first time on her honeymoon to Disney... isn't that the story? She has some serious hangups. I do wonder how the kids will ultimately turn out. Will they suffer with tremendous emotional baggage courtesy of their parents? And what kind of 'stepmother' will Jon ultimately bring into their lives -- or how many girlfriends will he introduce them to? While Kate will be the f r i g i d man-hating mother. Money isn't everything. There are kids who are growing up with much less $$, but have many emotional advantages and security those Gosseling kids will never have. Oh, and Kate, bring back the dogs for them for C h r i s t sake. It's up to you because Jon can't even afford to feed himself a dog food diet. Ugh

    only show i would watch kate on is like the one where new york had to work where the voters told her. lol i would vote for her to do the crappiest jobs ever.

  • December 17, 2009 - 1:47am EWOK comment

    The Ewok reference by "good" in the first few comments gave me a 'good' laugh. Seriously, that was a darn funny post!! ha ha Jon is so predictable it's sad. What a loser. The writing was on the wall for him and he did EVERYTHING wrong right on schedule. He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory! He cut off his nose to spite Kate's face! This guy is really an imbecile in every sense of the word. How on earth did Kate ever end up with such a dud?? She must've had very low self esteem to settle for him. And it seems like he just passively went along for the ride and was too lazy to turn down Kate's proposal and her desire for all those kids. He was way over his IQ level when he got together with Kate. All he had to do was sit back and let her make all the decisions and negotiations -- and then when it ended he was so beloved and she was seen as a shrew. But he squandered it somehow... talk about self-sabotage. He may have a future in being a guinea pig for Dr. Drew and other TV self-help/psychiatrist shows. He knows no shame and lets it all hang out and seems to be clueless about his reality -- how the public really hates him. I'll bet he will be on Dr. Phil for a solid week once his TLC contract expires. Oy Vey... He is like the gum stuck to the bottom of a shoe.

  • December 17, 2009 - 1:39am Where are the grammar police?

    Isn't it a "divorce DECREE" not a "divorce DEGREE"? ha ha!!! It'll be the first degree Jon ever earned, and boy did he earn it!
