Brittany Cartwright clapped back at estranged husband Jax Taylor’s documented claim that they were never legally married amid their divorce.
“We are legally married. I’m guessing paperwork is hard for some people,” Brittany, 35, commented via Instagram under a post shared by E! News on Thursday, October 3.
One day prior, In Touch reported that Jax, 45, responded to Brittany’s August divorce filing. His hand-written paperwork shared conflicting information, including the legality of their nuptials. The former SUR bartender checked two boxes in the paperwork, one that stated he and Brittany were married. However, Jax also checked the box that contended that “the parties never legally married or registered in a domestic partnership.”
Furthermore, Jax submitted the court documents on September 26, which is the date he listed as their date of separation. In Brittany’s divorce filing, she listed January 24.
Jax clarified that he made “errors” while “filling out forms that are usually done by trained legal professionals” and ensured that they would be “amended without delay,” Brittany and Jax’s rep told Us Weekly on Wednesday, October 2.
While Jax made mistakes in his filing, he was on the same page with Brittany when it came to child support over their 3-year-old son, Cruz.
The Jax’s Studio City owner agreed that the Kentucky native be awarded full custody of Cruz, which she requested in her filing.
“Jax and Brittany have already long resolved all matters related to custody of Cruz, and will continue to work together privately for the best interest of their son, which remains their overriding concern,” the Valley stars’ rep continued in their statement to Us Weekly.
