The “Sister, Sister” actress will not have to pay spousal or child support and can keep their $4.3 million home. The former couple is also taking precautions when it comes to introducing new partners to their kids. Find out the guidelines inside…
Well, that was quick.
Tia Mowry and her ex-husband Cory Hardrict have reached a divorce settlement, granting them joint custody of their two children, daughter Cairo, 5, and son Cree, 11. We first told you about their divorce being finalized in April, but there weren’t many details. Now, tidbits about their uncoupling have surfaced.
According to the divorce documents (obtained by PEOPLE), the “Sister, Sister” alum will keep their $4.3 million family home in Studio City, CA, and she won’t have to pay child support or spousal support. As they finalize their divorce, Tia and Cory are taking precautions when it comes to introducing new partners to their kids.
“Absent agreement to the contrary, each party is restrained from introducing the minor children to a new romantic partner until that party has been in an exclusive relationship with the romantic partner for at least six months,” the documents read.
“Each party is further restrained from permitting his or her new romantic partner from spending overnights when the minor children are with that custodial parent during the first six months of the exclusive relationship,” the file continues. “The parties agree that the restraints set forth in this paragraph are in the best interest of the children.”
Also, it was determined that neither of them could speak about the other in front of their children or within close proximity “in a negative, disrespectful or derogatory manner.” This was also to be honored by their family members and friends.
According to The Blast, the former couple agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their two kids. Specifically, they will split the costs associated with raising their family — including private school tuition and fees for extracurricular activities.
In the agreement, it was decided that Tia would gain full ownership of the family’s luxurious home in Studio City, which is valued at an impressive $4.3 million. The house boasts 4,871 square feet of living space, sits on an 8,496 square foot lot, and features 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Notably, this property is currently off the market, having last been sold on October 30, 2015, for $2,600,000. In other words, Tia stands to make a substantial profit from their initial investment in the home.
After 14 years of marriage, the “The Game” actress announced the couple’s separation in October with a heartfelt Instagram post.
”I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different. I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways,” she wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of the couple. “These decisions are never easy, and not without sadness. We will maintain a friendship as we co-parent our beautiful children.”
The actress continued, “I am grateful for all the happy times we had together and want to thank my friends, family and fans for your love and support as we start this new chapter moving forward in our lives.”
It was definitely a journey before they fnally were able to agree on a settlement.
In the beginning, Tia cited “irreconcilable differences” in her divorce filing, however, Cory denied that “irreconcilable differences” were a factor in their uncoupling.
In addition, Cory agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their two children in his response to the divorce. He also reportedly asked the court to terminate his ex-wife’s right to spousal support and left unchecked the boxes on the paperwork indicating whether he wanted to seek spousal support from his ex.
Cory’s lawyer also allegedly included a note in the response, stating that he wanted the court to rule on “the validity of the prenuptial agreement dated April 14, 2008 and/or that any provisions are unconscionable.”
This led folks to believe the divorce would be drawn out and get nasty, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
As news circulated about Tia and Cory’s divorce, the “All American:Homecoming” star wasn’t feeling how some publications reported on the divorce. The Shade Room shared a headline Cory didn’t like, which resulted in the actor popping off in their comments:
After his comments, the title was changed.
We wish both Tia and Cory the best go forward into their new chapter!
