Eric McCormack Divorce: $10K Support, Will & Grace Residuals Deal

Eric McCormack and Janet Leigh Holden’s divorce is now final. Janet will get $10,000 a month in spousal support that can’t be changed until 2035. She will also get half of the money from Eric’s projects during their marriage, such as the famous sitcom “Will & Grace.” The couple, who had been married for 26 years, settled their differences outside of court, dividing their assets fairly, including homes, cars, and retirement plans.

Janet Leigh Holden will get $10,000 a month in spousal support until June 1, 2035, when it can be changed. This is based on their monthly incomes of about $23,000 and $92,000. She gets half of the money from “community property works” like “Will & Grace,” “Lego Masters,” “Murdoch Mysteries,” and others that were made between 1997 and their 2024 separation. Janet gets to keep a LA home, two condos, cars (including a 1972 Ford pickup), and exclusive use of a Vancouver home for five years. Eric gets to keep a beach house and the money he made from shows like “Elsbeth” after they split up.

The two met in 1994 on the set of the CBS show “Lonesome Dove,” where Janet was the assistant director and Eric played Col. Francis Clay Mosby. They got married in 1997 and have a son named Finnigan, who is 23 years old. Janet filed for divorce in November 2023, saying that they couldn’t agree on anything. The terms were agreed upon by November 2025 and approved by a judge on January 6, 2026. Even though they broke up, they still paid for their son’s co-parenting costs and acted like they cared about each other at events like the 2024 Oscars party.
