Divorce may mark the end of a marriage, but for parents, the work of raising a family continues long after the paperwork is signed.
More than three years after finalizing their divorce, Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict have reached a new child custody agreement, offering an updated look at how the former couple plans to continue co-parenting their two children.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the actors have agreed to several revisions to their custody arrangement involving their daughter, Cairo, 8, and son, Cree, 15.
One of the new provisions states that neither parent may enter the other’s home unless invited. The updated agreement also allows Hardrict to visit the children during Mowry’s parenting time, provided the visit includes both children unless circumstances make that impossible.
While the changes may seem small, they reflect the reality that co-parenting agreements often evolve as families settle into new routines following a divorce.
Mowry and Hardrict first announced the end of their 14-year marriage in October 2022. “I have always been honest with my fans, and today is no different,” Mowry wrote on Instagram at the time. “I wanted to share that Cory and I have decided to go our separate ways.”

When the pair finalized their divorce in April 2023, they agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their children. Their original agreement also included a clause preventing either parent from introducing a new romantic partner to Cairo and Cree until the relationship had lasted at least six months.
Since then, Mowry has been candid about adjusting to life as a single mother, describing the experience as a balancing act of caring for everyone around her while learning to prioritize her own well-being.
Despite ending their marriage, both actors have consistently emphasized maintaining a healthy family dynamic for their children. Shortly after announcing their separation, Mowry shared that the former couple still planned to spend the holidays together, explaining that “family is family no matter what happens.”
She later revealed that choosing to end her marriage was also about demonstrating authenticity for her children, saying she wanted them to see their mother “walk in truth.”
As Mowry and Hardrict continue navigating life after divorce, their updated custody agreement reflects what many co-parents experience: parenting plans aren’t always static. They often grow and adapt alongside the families they’re designed to support.
Although neither Mowry nor Hardrict has publicly commented on the latest agreement, the updated terms represent another step in their ongoing commitment to raising Cairo and Cree together.
