It's already been reported that he is helping his daughter with her divorce, but it seems that Katie Holmes' father may have been the one behind the big decision in the first place.
The 67-year-old attorney is said to have helped his youngest child set the wheels in motion when she decided she wanted to divorce her husband of five years, Tom Cruise.
According to People magazine, Martin Holmes 'helped orchestrate his daughter's sudden split' from the Hollywood actor.
The mastermind: Katie Holmes' attorney father Martin is said to have orchestrated her split from Tom Cruise
'Marty is very rigid â" it's his way or the highway,' a Toledo attorney who has worked with Martin told the magazine.
'Marty believes there are only two sets of rules: the rules of the court and his rules, and he carries himself that way.'
The father-of-five is said to practice in areas including personal injury, business litigation, probate and matrimonial law, and is therefore the best person for Katie to turn to for advice.
It also seems that Martin is relieved to finally have his daughter back, following constant reports that he and his wife Kathy felt that the Mission Impossible star was controlling their daughter.
Fighting it out: Martin is said to be helping his daughter with her divorce proceedings as her five year marriage to Tom Cruise comes to an end
When Katie began dating Tom, 50, back in 2005, rumours quickly emerged that the actress's parents were wary of the relationship.
However, in public Martin was always supportive of Cruise, calling him a 'humanitarian' in a statement to Access Hollywood, and Katie was also quick to deny any stories of tension between them.
'Some of the crap that's out there â" the stuff that's said about my parents and my siblings not hitting it off with Tom, it's really frustrating,' the mother-of-one told Vanity Fair in 2006.

But Martin and Kathy are clearly behind their daughter's decision to divorce Tom - which was revealed to the world on Friday.
The actress has since moved to Manhattan with Suri and last night took her daughter out in public for the first time since announcing the split.
The pair visited a local ice cream parlous where the dark-haired child was spotted tenderly stroking her mother's face as she enjoyed the cold treat.

is 'Walter White' serious because that just so happens to be the name of the lead character in Breaking Bad - where Walter happens to be a Meth cook. Hmm.

If it's true, her father is very strong and cares immensely for his children. She's fortunate to have a parent like him.

DM, if you would have us believe this story, then her parents would appear to be just as controlling as her husband is supposed to be! Do you not think the decision to split from Tom Cruise was not a teensy tiny bit to do with KATIE herself?!

Honestly, this avalanche of one-sided articles is beginning to get scary, abusive and old! So far we have heard nothing but Team Katie's version of the events. When are we going to hear Team Tom? So far he's kept nothing but dignified silence while his wife's people have plastered him all over the Internet. - RC, Somewhere in Europe, 4/7/2012 14:14 I think he's probably desperately casting around for a PR Team to take this on. Would YOU want to try to rebuild Brand Cruise? His PR stock was low before this - it was only Katie that 'normalised' him slightly.

I bet divorce lawyers make good husbands. They witness everything everyone else does wrong.

Katie's parents didn't want her to marry Cruise in the first place, guess she should have listened to them. There's a reason why 3 women have ended their marriage to him, maybe their freedom is the exchange for not exposing who he really is.
