Jax Taylor Submits New Divorce Papers, Leaving Fans Shocked!

In a surprising twist in the ongoing saga of Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, the reality TV star has refiled for divorce from his estranged wife with the assistance of legal counsel. On October 3, Taylor submitted an amended request for the dissolution of their marriage in a Los Angeles court, just one day after his representative confirmed to E! News that paperwork errors had been made in his initial filing.

Last month, Taylor submitted divorce papers on his own, shortly after Cartwright filed her own petition. In a notable misstep, he checked a box claiming that they were never legally married, a statement which has since been rectified in the new filing. Cartwright took to social media to publicly address this blunder, posting, “We are legally married. I’m guessing paperwork is hard for some people.” The couple's wedding officiant, Lance Bass, chimed in as well, verifying Cartwright's statement by saying, “I can confirm this. Pastor Lance signed the papers.”

Taylor's amended documents clarify additional issues, modifying his request regarding spousal support. Initially, he asked for a decision to be made later, but his new filing requests that both he and Cartwright waive spousal support altogether.

Moreover, Taylor aims to classify all property acquired before their marriage and after their separation as separate property. Interestingly, the exact nature of the couple's assets remains unclear, and both community and quasi-community property categories have yet to be classified.

Brittany Cartwright has shared how the breakup impacts their son, Cruz. In a poignant moment at the 2024 Daytime Beauty Awards, she emphasized their commitment to co-parenting. "Obviously we're both going to put him first," she expressed. "It's going to be fine no matter what, because we both love him so much. So, even if Jax and I are fighting, it's not going to ever come between Cruz. It’s never going to be a thing.”

As their rocky relationship continues to unfold in the public eye, fans are left wondering what the future holds for Taylor and Cartwright, especially with bittersweet memories of their whirlwind romance which began on Vanderpump Rules and a wedding attended by both family and friends. Stay tuned as we track this dramatic separation and its impact on reality television’s fan-favorite couple!
