CHRISTIE BRINKLEY & PETER COOK TAKE THEIR DIVORCE TO COURT
Christie Brinkley and estranged hubby Peter Cook took their divorce to court on Jan. 22 to work out the details of how they'll split time with their two children.
But while at Central Islip Supreme Court on Long Island, the ex-supermodel's charm didn't woo the judge, who warned her and Peter, "Be civil. Don't use your children as messengers between you...A custody trial would be devastating for the children and devastating for the parents. It should be avoided at all cost."
The ex-couple, who broke up last summer when Peter cheated with his 19-year-old assistant, Diana Bianchi, hammered out visitation rights with their kids, Sailor Lee, 7, and Jack, 11.
One of Christie's demands was that she didn't want Peter to let their kids fly commercial during a level-red terror alert. She also demanded Peter help their children with homework, and Peter asked for the same from her. The couple eventually agreed to a temporary visitation schedule.
Outside the courthouse, Christie said, "During the height of the whole thing, I took my kids camping — we did a lot of hiking," she said. "They were blissfully unaware of what was going on in the media.
"I would say to all men and women going through a divorce that it is difficult," she said.
