Tiger Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren is launching a battle for full custody of their two children.
The ex-model wants two-year-old Sam, and 19-month-old Charlie to live with her full-time.
According to Radaronline.com, the 31-year-old blonde still wants shamed Woods to be part of the kids’ lives – but will not let him have them half the time.
Up until now, the pair – whose five-year marriage was wrecked by Woods’ string of steamy affairs – have been civil in their dealings. But Elin’s gutsy decision could spark a legal war.
Nordegren and the disgraced golfer continue to live separate lives in mansions about a mile apart, in Windermere, near Orlando. Sources say they barely speak to each other.
“They share the children,” said an insider. “But the nannies drive the kids from house to house.
“Elin used to go to Tiger’s house but doesn’t any more. And she has her people communicate with him so she doesn’t have to.”
The Swedish beauty recently took their two children to her homeland, fuelling rumours that she may eventually settle there with the two toddlers. She and Woods had reportedly agreed to an informal joint custody deal, but the amicable arrangement has now changed.
“Elin isn’t saying she’s moving to Sweden but she wants full custody now,” said the source. “She has changed a lot since Tiger’s cheating was discovered and since he returned to golf, she’s distanced herself from him. It seems to have killed the small chance they had at reconciling.”
