I'm certain the sex life was nil with her and peter for quite a while. Something made this guy stray. Some guys refuse to go without.

They live in New York, not California.

This whole episode is unfortunate for the children. However, it is up to the adults to work through these problems. A court appointed pyschologist is qualified to make the appropriate recommendations to the court in matters of custody, which he has done. I don't agree with Ms. Brinkly discussing adult issues with the children but she is hurting inside and needs help in dealing with those issues as the court appointed pyschologist said. I think he has the right call on this. I also think though that it is important for the children to have healthy relationships with both parents to the extent it is possible. Just my two bits on something that is not any of my business....

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that both these parents have significant problems. Take the log out of your own eye before the splinter of your spouse. Kids need both parents; there is a 'bond' regardless of whether the parent has positive parenting skills or not. Deny them that relationship, and you have done more harm than what has occurred in the past (unless there is clearly abuse toward the child). The divorce itself will cause each of these parents to change their individual thinking. Let them develop a new relationship with the children based on their new 'revelations' in life.

I seem to recall that Christie was pregnant with someone else's child when she was still married to Billy Joel...at the very least, she was seeing someone else before she was divorced. Those who live in glass houses...no one really knows what goes on in a marriage unless they live it every day. She needs to back off for the childrens' sake. They should NEVER hear these awful things about either parent. They need to be protected from all of the mess.

Hey 6:41pm!!! You all seem to forget that all of Cook's S--T came out when this happened. You all seem to think that Christie is bringing this all out by going public, why should it be hidden NOW????....that Smuck Cook didn't care when it came out nor was he worried about the children....when he took his pants down.....perhaps more men should think about it BEFORE they take them down...it's too late to lament after the fact. Those kids have to live with HIS ACTIONS, not Christie's. OBTW, I am a guy with 3 kids, a nice wife, who has had a couple of chances to fool around, but choose NOT too...because I love my wife and would never want to hurt her or my kids....and told the "women friends" so, but I also told my wife about the advances, because I would never want to take away her trust....I am not perfect but I try to live by my vows and oh, remember, those 10 commandments. This is just a guy's point of view.

Dr. Steven Herman says that Peter Cook is a narcissit and needs reassurance that he's terriffic, handsome and accomplished person when in fact Christie Brinkley is the narcissit. We should also add selfish and uncaring to the list. Peter Cook asked her repeatedly to keep the divorce private. She insisted on going public at the expense of her children's feelings. We all know what he did and sadly so will the kids. I don't know why some women put the kids in the middle of a divorce. Regardless of what he's done, he is still their father. I have this to say to Christie, if the kids are separated from their father now, remember that they will grow up one day and resent you for putting them in the middle. Grow up. He cheated, he looked at porn, and who knows what else but he still loves his kids, he may not love you, which is probably why you're so upset. It's been two years. Get over it. That performance in court should win you an Oscar. By the way, he is very handsome, she's showing her age.

Neither of them should get the kids. He is a dog and she spends her time telling her kids all the dirty little details of it. She told them Daddy doesn't love her and spends his time viewing porn. Kids don't need to know this kind of information. She is a self absorbed *bleep* that is no better than him. 4 marriages and 3 kids by 3 different men, she will just get married and divorced AGAIN when this is done.

Wait a minute... Peter (which is all this joker cares about, is HIS), says he should get custody because Christy has "anger issues"?!?! The guy cheats on her, blows 3,000 dollars a MONTH (that is the salary of three hard-working people a month) on porn, and she finds out at a graduation ceremony about an affair with an 18-year old from the gal's step-dad. OH, YEAH -- if that were me, I'D have serious anger issues, too! Besides, if you would take children away from a parent due to "anger issues", that'd mean most people on the freeway during rush hour traffic would have cause to have their chidlren taken away from them! I hope Peter Cook gets exactly what he deserves -- NOTHING!

I'm a guy and I love porn. I cheat on girlfriends all the time. I couldn't care less how it makes them feel. It's my way or the highway!

Quite honestly, I'm shocked at the posts. It's 2008 and the wife is still being blamed for a husband's lack of morality. I don't care if she didn't put out, was miserably self-absorbed, or has been married 400 times. He lied, cheated, showed abysmal moral character, paid hush money to a VERY young co-worker (a sexual harrassment suit there by the OTHER office workers for sure), and had a porn habit the court-appointed psychologist stated was outside the "bell curve."

What's Christie guilty of? Being dramatic (what woman or gay man isn't?), so beautiful at 51 that people are still jealous, and kissing Chevy Chase? My gawd, hang her now!!

Grow up people and stop pointing fingers...let people pay for their own mistakes. If he hadn't done those things, neither Christie nor the courts would have any ammo, now would they?

Honey, what man doesn't look at porn? Check the cookies on your man's computer- I'm sure he's looked. They all look.

Here is a thought..."No Comment" Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook should leave court each day and say nothing. Each time they open their mouth they make themselves look worse. They are hurting the children more by mouthing off to camera's everytime they leave the courtroom.

Long story short...He had an affair and overactive obsession with internet porn and his webcam. She was devistated by the affair and didn't want to be with him anymore. File for divorce and joint custody and start your lives over with someone new or stay single.

This public courtroom drama is obsurd and is making both of them look like bitter vendictive people all by their own doing.

Grow up and move on with your lives. That is what normal people do.

I'm sad:( So much has changed since National Lampoon's Vacation. Those were good times. Where have all the flowers gone?

These 2 should settle out of court quietly before they both look like trailer trash. Surley the judge could order chaperoned custody of the children for both with evalautions & they can agree on a settlement without us having to hear about things only a husband & wife should know. If they keep this up their children will not escape ridcule & end up thinking there was never any love. They should do the same thing that Sara Evanas & her husband did ~ shut up & put up. A divorce means there must be compromise & they did love each other once enough to have 2 children so force yourself to make peace & utimately there will be a better future for everyone.......
