Maren Morris is moving on: The Grammy-winning singer has reached a settlement agreement in her divorce from fellow country artist Ryan Hurd.
The former couple reached an agreement on all issues relating to their pending divorce, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY. Morris and Hurd notarized the agreement on Dec. 28 and Jan. 4, respectively.
A property settlement agreement and a prenup signed in February 2018 and amended in October 2022 were used to divide the country stars' possessions.
The settlement also contains a plan that sees the soon-to-be co-parents split time with 3-year-old son Hayes Andrew evenly on a week-to-week basis, according to the document. They will divide holidays on a year-to-year basis. They agreed to work together while accommodating each other's work travel schedules.
Morris will also pay Hurd $2,100 a month in child support, according to the agreement, and neither will receive alimony from the other, an agreement set in their prenup.
The Grammy-winning singer, 33, filed for divorce from her singer-songwriter husband, 37, after five years of marriage on Oct. 2, according to documents obtained by The Nashville Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network.
The filing stated the couple, who live in Nashville, had been separated since the early October date.
Morris filed for divorce due to the couple's "irreconcilable differences" as they "are unable to live together successfully as husband and wife," according to divorce complaints filed in Davidson County and obtained by The Tennessean.
Morris and Hurd took an online parenting seminar for divorcing parents, a court-approved parent education and family stabilization course, according to additional documents obtained by the outlet. The couple cannot move their child from their Tennessee home until the divorce is finalized – a standard protocol for divorce in Tennessee.
The couple, after first meeting while writing Tim McGraw's 2014 track "Last Turn Home," began dating in 2015 and married in 2018 in Nashville.
The country power couple worked together on their own projects, from Morris' first studio album to their first duet, the 2021 track "Chasing After You," which was nominated for a Grammy award for best country duo/group performance.
The duo also collaborated on Morris' 2022 single "I Can't Love You Any More."

Morris opened up about her love life following the couple’s split during a December appearance on "The Howard Stern Show."
The subject came up when Stern asked Morris about the mental health journey that inspired her recent hairstyle change to a short bob.
"I cut all the trauma out of my hair," Morris said. "I think this year has — for a lot of people, not just me — just a lot of people that are close to me have gone through it. I've known so many people that have gone through breakups or divorces."
"The Bones" singer acknowledged that the legal process of divorce was "ongoing" and told Stern she's not looking to date amid her divorce, adding that her music has provided her with an emotional outlet.
"I would like this to sort of wrap up," Morris said of her divorce. "I don't have the headspace for that yet. But I'm writing so much right now. That's kind of been my way of dating is just through song."
