Daniela Avila is an editorial assistant at PEOPLE. She has been working at PEOPLE since 2021. Her work previously appeared on, Kramer, 39, details how she and Caussin, 36, settled the divorce on their own terms and what he said to her afterward.
The country singer and actress married the NFL star in May 2015 in Charlottesville, Virginia, and they welcomed two kids together: daughter Jolie, 7, and son Jace, 4, , and something told me that despite my scarcity mindset, I should have faith that everything would come back to me this time in beauty, not ashes.I choked. I actually was at a loss for words and spun around to him like he was the devil incarnate.
“You want half?” You want half?” I said repeatedly. I couldn’t believe it. He thought he was entitled to half. Then I said, “So, you’re fighting the postnup?”“I didn’t make you sign anything,” I said. “You knew what happened if you cheated again.”After he left that night, I created my first-ever Excel spreadsheet. I made three columns.
I called him later that night to see if he wanted to review our options together. An hour later, he rang the doorbell. We sat in the bedroom, and I watched as he looked over the spreadsheet. He put down my computer and immediately brought up childcare. I figured this was coming and I was glad he was being direct about it. This is what it was going to come down to: either getting more time with the kids or getting more money. I wanted more time with the kids, and he knew that.
We shook hands, and I called my lawyer the next morning. I told my lawyers what My Ex and I had agreed to, and asked them to draw up the papers for us to sign. I guess I might have won a better settlement and paid him less if we had gone to court, but he could have won, and then I would’ve walked out feeling like the girl at the Wood Ranch again. I didn’t play out those scenarios in my head, though, because I didn’t want to dwell on the what-ifs. I needed to be done, to start fresh.
