The agreement went on to detail the various aspects of their daughter’s life (such as extracurricular activities, piercing body parts, obtaining a passport, etc.) on which they would need to confer with one another.
They were awarded joint physical custody with the stipulation that they develop a parenting plan in concert for Peyton’s sake.
In addition, the couple settled on a mutually agreeable child and spousal support arrangement. As per the agreement, Edmonds will pay Pantenburg $37,500 every month until 2027. When he “vacates the previous family dwelling,” that’s when the money will start coming in.
PEOPLE reached out to a representative for Edmonds but did not hear back from them right away.
In July of 2021, after much consideration and sadness, Edmonds and Pantenburg told PEOPLE that they were ending their marriage.
In a joint statement, they expressed their continued concern for one another, as well as their undying devotion to their daughter and her happiness. Please respect our need for privacy while we take this next step as a family with our daughter.
