It was a real-life ‘Mission Impossible.’ As details leak out about Katie Holmes’ shocking divorce plan, it’s revealed that her lawyer father Martin Holmes arranged for new cell phones, bodyguards, assistants and an apartment in months of secret planning. Here’s the details!

Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise on June 28, and according to a new report, Martin Holmes “helped orchestrate his daughter’s sudden split” from Tom!

Tom, 50, was allegedly blindsided by Katie’s decision to file for divorce. “She was talking to Tom on the phone up until last week, saying ‘I love you,’” a source tells People.

But Katie allegedly wanted to leave Tom for quite a while! “Her inner circle has been planning this and switching out cell phones since she was in China [in mid-June],” adds the source. “When new cell phones arrived, then nobody could reach her. Her old best friends from last week don’t have her new number, no email. She’s unreachable.”

Katie, 33, also reportedly rented her brand-new apartment in New York City in early June! “[Tom] knew that she moved there, but [he thought it was] for different reasons,” says the source.

“She said she moved there to drive into the underground garage. There are fewer paparazzi and it’s less intrusive for her,” adds the source. “It was the first phase of getting everything out of the house, and that’s why she was able to say she’s moving without giving an indication that she was going to divorce him.”

Then, last week, Katie’s father, Martin Holmes, 67, arrived in New York and helped his daughter clean house, firing her staff and taking control shortly before Katie filed for divorce in New York City!

Martin is said to be the one who put the “wheels in motion” when Katie decided to divorce Tom after five years of marriage!

It’s long been reported that Martin was never happy with Katie’s decision to marry Tom! But Katie told Vanity Fair in 2006 that “some of the crap that’s out there – the stuff that’s said about my parents and my siblings not hitting it off with Tom, it’s really frustrating.”

True or not, Katie’s parents, Martin and Kathleen Holmes, are both allegedly happy with Katie’s decision to leave Tom. In fact, they are reportedly very happy to have “the old Katie back.”

Katie Holmes' Father In New York — Fires Staff, Takes Control

Katie Holmes’ lawyer father is taking precautions to protect his daughter from Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology. He’s taken control — do you think Katie needs help escaping from Tom’s world?

On June 28, Katie Holmes‘ father, an Ohio-based attorney, Martin Holmes, arrived in New York City to help his daughter get away from Tom Cruise, firing the people surrounding Katie. “He took control,” People reports.

“He was worried about his daughter,” the source adds. The decision to divorce was Katie’s decision, and she left Tom, who is in Iceland filming Oblivion, “totally devastated and heartbroken.”

Only three weeks ago, Tom told People, “You’re blessed to be able to live your dream and have the family that I have, the wife and children that I have.”

But it’s not just Tom that Katie married. “When you’re married to Tom Cruise, he doesn’t come alone. He has people with him all the time. You marry the 10 people who always surround him.”

Sources also claim Tom is “hurt and confused. Ultimately, he knows they respect each other wand will work it out amicably.”

The Mirror is reporting that Katie has fired her publicist of the “Tom years” — Ina Trecoikas — and gone back to her pre-TomKat publicists Leslie Sloane and Nanci Ryder.
