The details of Eric McCormack and Janet Leigh Holden McCormack’s divorce settlement have been revealed.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Monday, Jan. 6, a judge signed off on the final terms of the former couple’s agreement, which they established outside of court. As part of the deal, Eric, 62, will pay Janet a “non-modifiable” amount of $10,000 per month in spousal support until 2035, when he will be able to seek modification.

That number was based on Janet’s monthly average income being around $23,000 and Eric’s being upwards of $92,000.

The exes also agreed to equally split the actor’s “Community Property Works” for any project he did between their marriage on Aug. 3, 1997 and their date of separation on Feb. 12, 2024. This includes any residuals and royalty income from Lego Masters, Eric’s Just Jack and Will podcast, Murdoch Mysteries, Slasher, Will & Grace, Atypical, The Architect, American Dad!, Law & Order: SVU, Dead, Break a Leg!, Dead Like Me and several others.

Janet further has “one-half of all right, title and interest in intellectual property of the Community Property Works.”

Additionally, the pair will split their bank accounts, investments, airline miles, Eric’s retirement plans and their physical property. Janet is keeping one Los Angeles home, two condos, a 2018 Audi Q7, 2000 Jeep Cherokee, 1972 Ford pickup, 2005 Ford Escape and a trailer, while Eric will retain a beach house, along with all income from his projects completed before the marriage and after their legal separation, such as Elsbeth, his Still Here Hollywood podcast and Lonesome Dove: The Series.

They also own a home in Vancouver, which Janet will have the right to exclusively use for the next five years unless she decides to buy out Eric’s share or sell the house in accordance with their agreement.

While Eric and Janet do not have any minor children, they will continue to split their 23-year-old son Finnigan Holden McCormack’s expenses and costs of establishing a trust for him.

Janet filed for divorce from Eric in November 2023 after 26 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." On Nov. 5, 2025, Eric filed a declaration for an uncontested dissolution of the marriage, indicating that they settled on terms in a written agreement.

At the time, they both waived "their rights to notice of trial, a statement of decision, a motion for new trial and the right to appeal."

Eric and Janet first met in 1994 on the set of the CBS TV series Lonesome Dove, where Janet was the assistant director and Eric was playing Col. Francis Clay Mosby. They tied the knot in August 1997 and welcomed their son, Finn, in July 2002.
