We have an replace on Christine Brown suing her ex-husband for little one help.
Back in September, we reported that the 52-year outdated had filed authorized paperwork towards the Sister Wives patriarch during which she requested a court docket to ascertain paternity of 14-year outdated daughter Truly as a result of Kody Brown’s title just isn’t on her start certificates.
Additionally, Christine has requested a home relations injunction that stops each events from harassment, home violence, canceling or modifying providers, taking the youngsters for non-routine journey with out court docket orders or permission and demeaning or disparaging the opposite social gathering.
Last Wednesday, in the meantime, the exes met in court docket (by way of Zoom) for a listening to in regard to this case.
According to court docket paperwork obtained by our pals at The Ashley’s Realty Roundup, either side accomplished their disclosures for the case on the time and that the exes have now been ordered to attend a mediation convention scheduled for May 21, 2025.
Now, right here is the place it will get fascinating…
The court docket apparently categorized Kody and Christine’s case as having Track 3 standing, which is an task reserved for a “significant custody dispute.”
Consider the next part from the Utah State Courts web site,
This class consists of instances with vital custody disputes, together with custody disputes involving allegations of kid abuse or home violence. For a Track 3 case, on the case administration convention the court docket and events will deal with:
1) whether or not a custody analysis is critical, and, in that case, the type of the analysis and appointment issues; and a pair of) whether or not appointment of a non-public guardian advert litem is critical, and in that case, the scope of the appointment and apportionment of prices.
To be clear, we’re not authorized consultants.
From what we perceive, there have been no allegations of kid abuse or home violence.
Rather, as a result of Christine and Kody’s marriage was not authorized in nature and since Kody just isn’t listed on the aforementioned start certificates… Christine can not make any requests legally binding with out this lawsuit/course of.
After Christine’s walked away from Kody in November 2021, Truely moved along with her mom from Arizona to Utah.
It sounds in our opinion right here as if Christine desires to pressure Kody to truly depart his residence with a purpose to see his daughter… and not be pressured on her finish to ship {the teenager} to Arizona out of any parental obligation.
Kody and Christine additionally share kids Mykelti, Aspyn, Gwendlyn, Ysabel and Paedon; solely Truely is a minor, nevertheless.
“When I lived in Flagstaff, I firmly believed that moving to Utah was the best choice for me and for Truely,” Christine defined throughout a earlier episode of Sister Wives.
“I knew that I used to be taking Truely away from her dad. I felt like the easiest way to protect Truely’s relationship with Kody was to maneuver her away from him…
“I took their relationship while it was still good and I picked it up and I moved it. And then whenever we come back into town, I just pick it up again and I move it back.”
Kody doesn’t appear particularly near his kids.
The father of 17 wasn’t even speaking to son Garrison when the 25-year outdated dedicated suicide this previous March.
Kody additionally trashed his ex-wife’s reasoning behind transferring away with their teenager by way of a Sister Wives confessional final autumn.
“For Christine to think that she’s saving my relationship with Truely by taking her away from me and just ‘preserving’ it — that’s such B.S. rationalization,” Kody stated on air, emphasizing that the scenario was “ridiculous.”
He has not but responded in public to Christine’s current lawsuit.
