Even though Christine Brown and Kody Brown have been divorced for over three years, the former duo and Sister Wives stars are still facing an uphill battle. The dissolution of their marriage occurred after the mother of six finally realized the polygamous patriarch no longer had any feelings for her. Since their split Christine had found herself a new husband and moved on. However, there are still some issues to be ironed out regarding the custody of their daughter, Truely Brown.
Christine Brown is fighting back
Before the end of the year, Christine filed a lawsuit against Kody. The Sister Wives star revealed she had decided to sue the father of 18 for child support. In the legal documents, Christine also asked that she maintain full custody of their 14-year-old daughter. Christine filed the original documents on September 16 and showed the Utah native formally requesting the court to establish paternity of her youngest daughter. Even though Sister Wives fans know that Kody is the father, his third wife is asking for this step because he wasn’t listed as the father on the birth certificate.
At the time of Truely’s birth, it was too dangerous to name Kody for fear the authorities would arrest him for being a polygamist. Viewers will recall that during Season 1, Kody arrived late to the hospital and almost missed Truely’s birth. This was because he was hours away courting his fourth and favorite wife, Robyn Brown. Now, after their split, Christine is taking a stance and trying to choose the best living situation for her daughter. But Kody isn’t going along with her plan.
Christine Brown and Kody Brown are going to court
Not only is Christine filing for custody, but the Sister Wives star is also requesting a domestic relations injunction. This was a serious move as in the state of Utah, the injunction stops both parties from harassment, domestic violence, canceling or modifying services. By filing an injunction, the paperwork also stops Kody or Christine from taking the teenager away on any nonroutine travel without a court order. The domestic relations injunction also halts either Christine or Kody from making any disparaging remarks about the other. In the latest seasons of Sister Wives, Truely has been shown visiting Kody in Arizona on occasion.
Kody has clarified that he doesn’t want his daughter to live so far away. But currently, Christine is residing in Utah, where she is closer to her side of the family. During one Sister Wives confessional, she noted that Truely had a better support system as she was surrounded by her older sisters. More than once, Christine has bashed Kody for being an absent father. Even Truely has made comments while on the series regarding her lack of relationship with Kody and Robyn. The 14-year-old wasn’t even phased by the divorce, which left Kody stunned after he asked.
Kody Brown and Christine Brown need to talk it out
Christine has been vocal with an insider sharing, “Basically, he’s not in Truely’s life. Kody won’t go anywhere. Christine has to accommodate Kody. He’s still paranoid about COVID and everything else. So, if Christine is not choosing to do the transporting and making it happen — nor would she put Truely through any of this stress — then Kody won’t have a relationship with Truely. He would have to leave his nest to see his daughter.” Fans will recall Kody made some extremely strict rules regarding the worldwide pandemic. The rules were so serious that he lost more than one relationship with his older children.
Recently, it was reported that despite never being legally married, Christine and Kody are being ordered by the court to partake in parenting classes. The court documents revealed that the former couple were being required to attend “mandatory parenting and divorce classes, as well as mediation.” Fans can only assume that their split hasn’t gone well. The court also noted that a “guardian ad litem may be appointed for their daughter Truely if deemed necessary. And a custody evaluation could be required.” The state has decided to treat their custody like a divorce instead of a custody battle. It looks like both parties will be able to detox from this toxic situation as soon as they pass their classes.
Sister Wives is available to stream on TLC.
