Cody and Christine Brown’s custody case has been filed for divorce

“Wife’s sister“The stars have taken an interesting twist in their ongoing legal exchange, which now requires them to take some steps specific to a divorce case.

Christine Brown and Cody Brown were spiritually married for 27 years until Christine called it quits in 2021, setting a precedent for two other sister-wives to follow.

The estranged couple is now required by law to attend mandatory divorce and parenting classes in conjunction with mediation so they can move forward in their custody battle.

The court also indicated that a neutral person could be appointed to care for their daughter Truli at the same time, and a custody evaluation may also be needed to find the best option for Truli.

In their joint split announcement posted on Instagram, Kristin and Cody assured the public that they will “continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we raise our wonderful children and support our wonderful family.”

trans In connectionthe case was listed as a Track 3 “significant custody dispute.” According to the Utah court, this category “includes cases with significant custody disputes, including custody disputes involving allegations of child abuse or domestic violence.”

As soon as the marriage was consummated, Truly moved in with her mother in Flagstaff, Arizona, making it clear whose side she was on. After her move, insiders revealed in 2022 that her father also refused to be involved in her life. According to the source:

“Basically, he’s not in Trully’s life. Cody isn’t going anywhere. Christine should take Cody.”

The source added that Cody is still “paranoid about COVID and everything. So if Christine doesn’t choose the transportation and provide it—and she doesn’t put Trully through that stress—then Cody won’t have a relationship. He had to leave his nest to see his daughter.”

As for Cody, he was “disgusted” by Christine’s decision to take Truely with her to Utah, adding that True is just as much his child as she is Christine’s.

Cody’s decision to stay out of his daughter’s life due to fear of COVID and other factors has reportedly become troubling for Christine.

Explosion reported that the TV host responded by suing her ex-husband to establish paternity of their daughter Trui. Cody was not listed on her birth certificate and Trully moved in with Christine in Utah in 2021.

Christine also filed for a domestic relations restraining order, which would have limited any form of harassment, domestic violence, or modification of essential services outside of mutual consent or court order.

The document would prevent Cody and Christine from taking their children on unusual trips without permission or publicly saying nasty things about the other side, if allowed.

Interestingly, Christine claimed that being away would only make Trully’s heart grow fonder of her father, so moving in with her might not be such a terrible idea.

The mom of six explained that her move to Utah in 2021 with True helped keep her and Cody’s relationship healthy. She added that really not being around Cody’s bad side in real time goes a long way in saving the rest of their bond.

The family matriarch, whose strained relationships with her children and ex-wives remain memorable, called Christine’s defense “BS rationalization” and “ridiculous”.

At the end of last year, Christine accepted a radio interview where she was asked to describe her ex-husband in three words.

The TLC star chose a pretty interesting choice of words to name her baby daddy. She declared: “Dead dad… Sorry, that’s two, but it could be two,” she said, before adding: “Dead dad and… not paying attention.”

The mother-of-six was accompanied by her ex-wife, sister Janelle Brown, who was surprised by her answer and offered a different perspective.

Janelle described her husband as “charismatic” and tried to convince a very angry Christine to understand where she was coming from.

At the end of their exchange, Janelle finally agreed with Christine’s point of view and noted that Cody is also selfish, oblivious and acting like “reality surprises him.”

Will Christine Brown and Cody Brown find a way around their complicated custody battle that has now escalated into divorce proceedings? Time will tell!
