Shannon addressed reports of some conflict with David as they work on the details of their divorce in a statement to PEOPLE Thursday. “As David and I continue our divorce proceedings, I’m doing everything I can to move things efficiently along so that our three children are not subjected to unnecessary stress during an already difficult time,” she said. “I want to be as fair as possible. I remain focused on a clean resolution and have no interest in engaging in a war of words.” 

Shannon and David appeared in a California courtroom on March 16. They were awarded joint legal and physical custody of their three daughters (Sophie, 16, Stella, 13, and Adeline, 13), according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. Shannon and David's daughters' “shall reside primarily with Shannon,” the documents read, according to PEOPLE, “but the children shall spend significant time with each party by agreement of the parties.”


The court also awarded Shannon $22,500 per month for temporary non-taxable child and spousal support. Shannon and David are slated to meet again in court in July. 

Shannon has kept her head held high since announcing her separation from David last October, focusing on her bright future ahead, including girls' trips with her daughters, fun nights out with Kelly Dodd, and her upcoming project with QVC.
