Bitter Baldwin Plans to Write a Book About His Custody Battles

Bitter Baldwin Plans to Write a Book About His Custody Battles By WENN|Monday, December 19, 2005

HOLLYWOOD - Actor Alec Baldwin is planning to tackle California's 'dysfunctional' custody laws in a new book after settling his latest court spat with ex-wife Kim Basinger. The movie star dragged Basinger through the courts in Los Angeles in November and earlier this month fighting for more custody of their daughter Ireland.

And, although he has agreed a settlement with his ex, bitter Baldwin is still far from happy.

In court, the actor claimed Basinger has been trying to turn his daughter against him and violated a previous court-imposed visitation agreement this summer.

He says, 'The specific details of what I'm going through, we've been instructed by judges, past and present, to not discuss that with the press. I'm in the middle of making a deal to write a book about it.'

In the book, Baldwin plans to attack fathers' rights and family law, especially in California.

He claims the law is stacked against civil conclusions, adding, 'Conflict resolution for people is the last thing on the agenda.'

If he's so big on 'conflict resolution' he sure didn't act like someone who wanted to resolve the conflict. His book (if it ever appears) sounds like it should be titled something like 'I Didn't Get My Way and It's the Courts' Fault'.

Gee. All this supposed love and care for this kid, and these two leave nothing but pounds of public shit and bitterness in their wake for her to loll around in. Nice move, Baldwins. Poor kid.

I don't believe this story. I doubt that AB would risk losing his daughter over a tell all book.

I found this on NBC homepage ...so I guess he said it in the 'Today' show as reported here ????

Alec Baldwin Writing Book About Custody Battle

NEW YORK

It makes me so angry I would like to take Alec's chips and dip away from

Yeah, cause that won't be damaging to your daughter. Self-absorbed asshole.

You would think both he and Kim would try to sit down and talk about the welfare of their child. Why can't they have joint custody? is it that hard? Their shenanighans will simply affect their child, she is growing up, if they don't take their heads out of their arses, she would be old enough to strike out on her own before they realise it is too late.
