We received this email last night from city council member Brewster McCracken:

I have prepared a short statement below confirming that I and my wife Mindy Montford have agreed to a divorce. We were married in 1995 and have been separated for the last seven months.

Mindy is an assistant district attorney with the Travis County District Attorney’s Office and an adjunct professor at the University of Texas School of Law. We have one son, Ford, who was born on March 2, 2004. As for the child custody part of our divorce agreement, we will be joint managing conservators.

STATEMENT OF BREWSTER McCRACKEN:

“With great sadness, I am confirming that Mindy and I have agreed to end our marriage. We are incredibly blessed to have a wonderful son together. We both love our son very much, and we will work together to be great parents for him.”
