Context:

Court filings obtained by Us Weekly reveal Kristy Scott and Desmond Scott finalized their divorce through an Agreed Final Decree reached during mediation, more than two months before disclosure. Married since 2014, Kristy cited adultery in her 2025 petition and the couple share two children; the decree assigns Kristy the exclusive right to designate the children’s primary residence in Harris County, Texas, and establishes a parenting plan to preserve a close relationship, including alternating holiday custody and allowances for electronic communication, while eliminating formal monthly child support. Desmond filed a general denial and sought fees, with a merits trial set for July. The reports also note Kristy’s public-facing divorce narrative and a social circle that supported her through the split, alongside ongoing discussions about name changes and custody details. Looking ahead, comment requests are pending and litigation activity is expected to continue through the July hearing.
