We’ve got an replace on Christine Brown suing her ex-husband for baby assist.
Again in September, we reported that the 52-year outdated had filed authorized paperwork towards the Sister Wives patriarch by which she requested a court docket to determine paternity of 14-year outdated daughter Really as a result of Kody Brown’s identify shouldn’t be on her start certificates.
Moreover, 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 celebration.
Final Wednesday, in the meantime, the exes met in court docket (through Zoom) for a listening to in regard to this case.
In accordance with court docket paperwork obtained by our buddies at The Ashley’s Realty Roundup, either side completed their disclosures for the case on the time and that the exes have now been ordered to attend a mediation convention scheduled for Could 21, 2025.
Now, right here is the place it will get fascinating…
The court docket apparently categorised Kody and Christine’s case as having Monitor 3 standing, which is an task reserved for a “vital custody dispute.”
Think about the next part from the Utah State Courts web site,
This class contains circumstances with vital custody disputes, together with custody disputes involving allegations of kid abuse or home violence. For a Monitor 3 case, on the case administration convention the court docket and events will deal with:

Somewhat, as a result of Christine and Kody’s marriage was not authorized in nature and since Kody shouldn’t be listed on the aforementioned start certificates… Christine can’t 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 drive Kody to really depart his residence with a view 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, nonetheless.

“I took their relationship whereas it was nonetheless good and I picked it up and I moved it. After which at any time when we come again into city, I simply decide it up once more and I transfer it again.”
Kody doesn’t appear particularly near his kids.
The daddy of 17 wasn’t even talking to son Garrison when the 25-year outdated dedicated suicide this previous March.
Kody additionally trashed his ex-wife’s reasoning behind shifting away with their teenager through a Sister Wives confessional final autumn.
“For Christine to suppose that she’s saving my relationship with Truely by taking her away from me and simply ‘preserving’ it — that’s such B.S. rationalization,” Kody stated on air, emphasizing that the state of affairs was “ridiculous.”
He has not but responded in public to Christine’s current lawsuit.
