With lingering anger and bitterness, the marriage of Jon and Kate Gosselin is all but dissolved after Saturday's all-day mediation hearing in Pennsylvania, a source close to Kate tells PEOPLE.
"This was the proceeding that essentially ended their marriage," says the source."Kate is just relieved that a very painful chapter of her life is nearly over, and she is looking forward to building a better, brighter future for herself and her kids."
During the hearing, Jon "didn't dispute Kate having primary custody of the kids," says the source, which came as no surprise to Kate.

Jon & Kate's Divorce Could Be Finalized by Year's End
Originally posted 11/21/2009 09:35PM
Jon Gosselin showed up for a daylong divorce arbitration hearing Saturday with a bouquet of long-stemmed red roses for Kate – only to have her turn them down and later leave the courthouse empty-handed.
But while Jon wasn't able to say it with flowers, the former couple were able to express themselves well in other ways, leading to a "successful and productive" session, his lawyer Mark Heller tells PEOPLE.
"This has been called the real-life War of the Roses," says Heller, referring to the 1989 black comedy in which Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner played bitterly battling spouses, "and he brought that as a peace offering to break the ice and try to bring the war to an end."
Things went so well for the Jon & Kate Plus 8 stars that the arbitration's scheduled second day, planned for Monday, is no longer necessary. The arbitrator is expected to rule in a month, and Heller says "it's possible" the contentious divorce could be finalized by the end of the year.

Jon Gosselin Files $5 Million Lawsuit Against TLC
Originally posted 11/13/2009 11:30AM
In the latest skirmish in his war with TLC, Jon Gosselin has filed a $5 million claim against the network, saying its representatives damaged his reputation and career by preventing him from working with other media outlets.
In the suit, the reality star dad claims that the network contacted various media outlets he'd been in touch with to persuade them to stop dealing with him.
"Their behavior has caused Jon great anguish and it has caused him financial losses," says his attorney, Mark Heller, who maintains Gosselin did not have an attorney or a manager present when he signed the contract for Jon and Kate Plus Eight with TLC last year.

Levi Johnston Calls Jon Gosselin a 'Good Guy'
Originally posted 11/12/2009 08:35AM
Levi Johnston says he has a lot in common with Jon Gosselin.
"He's a good guy," Johnston told PEOPLE at Wednesday's sex-oriented Fleshbot Awards in New York City. "He's kind of in the same situation I am right now. He's a good dad and he gets a lot of bad press. He's getting the same bad image as I am and it ain't true. I can relate to that."
Johnston, 19, who met Gosselin in New York on Nov. 8, even received some parenting tips from the dad of eight, which might come in handy if the Alaskan wins his suit to gain joint custody of his child with Bristol Palin.

Jon Gosselin Spoofs His Own Cheesiness

Jon Gosselin gets it. He really does.
The much-mocked estranged husband of Kate Gosselin takes on his own questionable taste in Ed Hardy T-shirts, diamond stud earrings, and younger women in a Funny or Die video in which he promises to go back to being the "righteous person" he was before.
"For the past few months I've been looking back and thinking this is not me, this is not what I want to do," he says, before leaving his life of reality-show fame behind.
The American public can breathe a sigh of relief: Jon Gosselin the heel is no more.
At least until the next caddish revelation, that is.

Life's back to normal – kind of – for Jon Gosselin, who spent Tuesday morning seeing his kids off to school.
"Got up early this morning took Mady and Cara to the bus, Came home to then hug my other 6 little morsels," Jon, 32, posted on Twitter.
But he was back to his old tricks when it came to his cold war with estranged wife Kate, 34, particularly when it came to her interview on TLC Monday night, in which he claims her timeline of their slow, self-destructing marriage finally coincides with his own.

Part of Kate Gosselin Still Loves Jon
Originally posted 11/03/2009 08:30AM
The romance has long since died, but for Kate Gosselin, a kernel of the emotion still lives.
"A part of me always will [love Jon]," she says. "It's hard to to be married to somebody for 10 years and try to say, 'No, I don't love them anymore.' It doesn't work really well. I love the memories that we have together."
Sitting down with the Today show's Natalie Morales for a special aired on TLC Monday night, Gosselin, 34, describes a bleak life after splitting with Jon, with her living in the center of a maelstrom of media attention.
