Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope split on account of irreconcilable differences.

According to reports from both TMZ and People, it was on August 13th, 2024, that the divorce proceedings between this couple were made public, approximately two months following their separation on June 7th, 2024.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that in the previously mentioned court filing, Cope has asked the judge to prevent the court from granting alimony to either party. Furthermore, she aims to secure full custody of their 19-month-old daughter Dylan Rose. Cope also proposes visitation rights for Lawrence under specific conditions she has outlined.

The document specifies that when Dylan Rose turns 3 or older, Lawrence will be allowed to take her for two nights in a row on two consecutive occasions. However, it’s important to note that the actor cannot have long-term custody of the child until she is old enough to expressly ask or agree to such visits herself.
