Speculation that there's a custody battle brewing between divorcing couple Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson and that he doesn't want to pay her spousal support are far off the mark, a source close to the situation exclusively tells Breaking Celebrity News.

In court papers filed Tuesday, Wentz requested joint legal and physical custody of their son Bronx Mowgli, for termination of the court's jurisdiction to award spousal support and for legal costs to be split equally, but according to our source, the papers don't reflect the musician's true feelings.

"Ashlee's family was really upset when they heard about the custody and support requests," the source tells Breaking Celebrity News.

"And Pete felt really bad about it. He told Ashlee not to worry because he would be paying support," the source added.

"It doesn't seem like Pete was the one to make the decisions about support and custody, it sounds more like his lawyers were responsible for the move."

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported Pete was 'blindsided' by Ashlee's decision to split last month and he isn't looking for a messy divorce - in fact, he doesn't want to get divorced at all.
