Wasser said the couple will agree to continue splitting custody 50-50 of their two sons, Sean Preston, born in September 2005, and Jayden James, who was born almost exactly one year after. She would not comment on the couple’s financial settlement. The papers are expected to be signed Monday afternoon by a Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner.
