Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright have reached a custody agreement concerning their 4-year-old son, Cruz, which includes specific restrictions on alcohol and drug use. Court documents reveal that neither parent will be required to pay child support, instead sharing the responsibility for costs and expenses directly related to Cruz during their respective custodial periods.
Under the agreement, Jax will have custody of Cruz every other weekend and on Wednesday evenings, while Brittany is scheduled to see their son more frequently. The couple has agreed to joint legal custody, making shared decisions regarding Cruz’s health, education, and welfare. However, Brittany will have final authority on health-related decisions if the two do not agree.
The custody arrangement also features a structured holiday schedule and a provision outlining that either parent must wait six months before introducing Cruz to a new significant other. Both Jax and Brittany have committed to remaining free from alcohol, marijuana, or any illicit substances while caring for their son.
Attempts to maintain an amicable co-parenting relationship are underscored by mutual agreements to avoid negative comments about one another in front of Cruz and to make efforts to celebrate his birthdays together.
Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, known for their appearances on “Vanderpump Rules,” married in 2019 after dating intermittently for four years. They separated in 2024, and Brittany filed for divorce while Jax was undergoing treatment for bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Jax has publicly described the relationship as toxic, while Brittany has since focused on personal improvements, including undergoing cosmetic procedures.
The custody agreement appears designed to foster a stable environment for Cruz despite the complexities of the couple’s separation and personal challenges.
