Ian Ziering and Erin Ludwig’s divorce has been finalized. The former Beverly Hills, 90210 stars, 58, and Ludwig filed a written divorce agreement with a Los Angeles County Superior Court in California on Monday, according to records obtained by PEOPLE.
“The parties have agreed into a formal agreement on their property and their marital or domestic partnership rights, including support,” according to a document filed on September 30 by Ludwig’s attorney as a petition for an uncontested divorce of the couple’s marriage.“The original of which is currently or has previously been submitted to the court. I request that the agreement be approved by the court.“
According to the filings, Ziering and Ludwig decided to share joint custody of their two children, Mia Loren, 11, and Penna Mae, 9 and will spend equal time with them in the future. The petition for uncontested divorce of their marriage also specifies how Ziering will pay child support and how the former couple will divide their financial assets in the future.
“The Parties have reviewed each and every provision of this Stipulated Judgment and have negotiated those provisions as necessary to reflect their agreement and to meet their needs,” reads an excerpt from the settlement document, confirming that both Ziering and Ludwig voluntarily agreed to everything stipulated in the settlement.
Because the settlement petition was issued uncontested, once a judge signs off on the paperwork, the former couple’s marriage will be declared null and void, and Ziering and Ludwig will not be required to appear in court to settle any further concerns.
“It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Erin and I are divorcing,” he wrote at the time. “With our rigorous job schedules, we couldn’t be busier, and we’ve grown apart over the last few years.” According to documents acquired by PEOPLE at the time, Ludwig filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court less than a week after Ziering announced their split, alleging “irreconcilable disagreements.”

The actor, who portrayed Steve Sanders on 90210, also stated at the time that he was speaking out about the dissolution of their marriage to clear the air when allegations began to circulate. “It has come to my attention that certain things are being written and said in order to sensationalize a situation that is just not sensational,” he wrote at the time.
“Any comment ascribed to me is absolutely untrue and was intended purely by haters to undermine our intention to continue getting along, protecting and raising our girls, and being examples of effective co-parents.”
