Dak Prescott’s relationship with ex Sarah Jane Ramos takes unexpected turn with family agreement before court case

The offseason spotlight around Dak Prescott has shifted from football to family matters, but a potential courtroom clash has been avoided. Prescott and his former fiancée Sarah Jane Ramos reached a temporary custody agreement for their two daughters just days before a scheduled hearing in Collin County, Texas.

The judge signed off on the arrangement, calling it in the children’s best interest. It brings a measure of calm to what has been a tense and very public stretch following the sudden cancellation of their wedding.

Why did Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos settle custody before court

The timing says a lot. With a hearing looming, both sides chose to resolve matters privately rather than extend a dispute into open court. The agreement remains informal and will only be filed if enforcement becomes necessary, a detail that suggests both parties are trying to keep control over sensitive family decisions.

Ramos’ attorney, Raymond Rafool, made the tone clear. “Sarah Jane is very happy that she and Dak are able to make decisions for the parties’ girls and their family on their own,” he said. “She firmly believes that working together as parents is very important and will have long-term benefits for the girls. Sarah Jane continues to be dedicated to putting the girls’ best interests and lives first.”Prescott’s legal team echoed that approach. “This agreement is a positive step forward and reflects the commitment Dak has to raising their daughters in a healthy, supportive environment,” attorney Levi G.

McCathern II said. “We’re pleased this was resolved amicably and outside of the courtroom. At the end of the day, the focus remains where it should be — on the well-being of Dak’s two daughters — and he is fully committed to ensuring that.

What led to Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos’ breakup and legal action

The custody discussion did not emerge in isolation. It followed a rapid breakdown in their relationship. Prescott filed a Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship in March, seeking joint managing conservatorship of their daughters, Margaret and Aurora.

The filing is common in Texas for unmarried parents looking to define rights and responsibilities.Just weeks earlier, the couple had called off their April wedding in Lake Como. An email sent to guests captured the tone: “As many of you know, our wedding is currently scheduled to take place in Lake Como, Italy, on Friday April 10, 2026. It is with heavy hearts that we privately inform our attendees that we have made the very difficult decision to cancel our wedding.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and we welcome your prayers.

Sarah Jane Ramos and Dak Prescott.”Reports around the split pointed to trust issues, though Prescott’s camp pushed back, urging privacy. “The decision to call off the wedding was mutual,” his attorney said earlier. “Unfortunately, when well-known people go through something personal, speculation tends to run wild, and the truth is often swept to the side. People should stop inventing stories and respect their privacy.”For now, the legal temperature has cooled. The larger questions about their relationship remain, but both sides appear aligned on one point that matters most.
