Ian Zieringand Erin Ludwig have reached a settlement in their divorce.
Ziering and Ludwig agreed to exercise joint custody over their two children, Mia Loren, 11, and Penna Mae, 9, and will share equal time with the kids moving forward, according to the documents. The petition for the uncontested dissolution of their marriage also lays out plans for Ziering to pay child support and how the former couple will split their own financial assets moving forward.
“The Parties have reviewed each and every one of the provisions of this Stipulated Judgment and have negotiated those provisions as necessary to reflect their agreement and to meet their needs,” an excerpt from the settlement document reads, confirming that both Ziering and Ludwig voluntarily agreed to everything stipulated in the settlement.
Because the settlement petition was issued as uncontested, once a judge signs off on the paperwork, the former couple’s marriage will officially end and there will be no need for Ziering and Ludwig to appear in court to settle any further matters.
Ziering first announced in an October 2019 Instagram post that he and Ludwighad decided to part ways after nine years of marriage.
