Sidora has a deadline of May 31 to officially leave the home, but due to the \u201ccurrent financial circumstances of the parties,\u201d she and Pittman will continue to split the expenses for the home until she leaves.<\/p>\n

The parents will continue to share legal custody of the two children. Though, Pittman \u2014 who has been living in the property\u2019s basement throughout their tumultuous divorce \u2014 was given primary physical custody of the kids during the school year. <\/p>\n

Sidora will see her kids on an alternating weekend schedule starting in August. The judge reportedly rendered their decision on Sidora and Pittman\u2019s child custody arrangement after claims were made that their kids had excessive absences from school while in Sidora\u2019s custody. <\/p>\n

In June 2023, Sidora later admitted that her divorce was due to a \u201cculmination of things that should not happen in a marriage.\u201d Instagram\/ralphpittmanjr<\/p>\n

At the time, she told People that the split was the result of a \u201cculmination of things that should not happen in a marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the inability to own it, the inability to apologize, the inability to work through it, the inability to care about my emotional state and wanting to work and heal that, was very challenging,\u201d Sidora explained. <\/p>\n

The \u201cStep Up\u201d star finally reached her \u201cboiling point\u201d when their issues were later shared with an audience thanks to the Bravo reality series, which made her feel \u201cembarrassment on top of what we were dealing with behind closed doors.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cReal Housewives of Atlanta\u201d star Drew Sidora was delivered a painful blow in her divorce from ex Ralph…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":577028,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[603,2864,7568,3597,3598,91,162802,250578,88,216,879,117384,5658,92],"class_list":{"0":"post-577027","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-bravo","9":"tag-celebrity-breakups","10":"tag-celebrity-children","11":"tag-celebrity-divorces","12":"tag-celebrity-exes","13":"tag-celebrity-news","14":"tag-child-custody","15":"tag-drew-sidora","16":"tag-entertainment","17":"tag-music","18":"tag-real-housewives","19":"tag-real-housewives-of-atlanta","20":"tag-reality-stars","21":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577027\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/577028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=577027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=577027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
