Stepping out: Shakira and estranged husband Gerard Piqué reunited in court on Thursday as they ratified their separation child custody agreement.

Last month, Shakira and Gerard confirmed they had signed a child custody agreement to avoid them warring in court

They said in their joint statement: 'We wish to communicate that we have signed an agreement that guarantees the wellfare of our children and that will be ratified in court as part of a mere formal procedure

Agreement: Last month, Shakira and Gerard confirmed they had signed a child custody agreement to avoid them warring in court

Spanish press have also reported that Gerard will be able to spend ten days a month with his children as part of his custody agreement with Shakira as well as holiday time. 

Catalan daily El Periodico, laying bare what it described as the 'small print' of the couple's accord, said: 'Gerard Piqué will have his children 10 days a month and the entirety of the three holiday periods that govern the United States, apart from Christmas and the summer holidays, starting next year

If as expected Sasha and Milan start school in the States in the New Year, Pique is set to have to live between Miami and Barcelona if he wants to enjoy his full 10 days with his children every month outside of holiday time

It was not immediately clear if that could involve him house-hunting Stateside or whether he could end up doing a house-share with Shakira in Miami which would see him spend part of the month in a property she vacates while he is in town so the children can spend as much time as possible in the same home

According to Catalan press, Shakira and Gerard are said to have also reached an agreement meaning the star will relocate to Miami next year, following a marathon 12-hour meeting
