How Christine Brown’s Lawsuit Could Impact Kody’s Home Sale and Why She Took 3 Years To Sue!

How Christine Brown’s Lawsuit Could Impact Kody’s Home Sale and Why She Took 3 Years To Sue!

Christine Brown Woolley has finally broken her silence on why it took her a shocking three years to file a lawsuit against her ex-husband, Kody Brown, and the reasons will leave you stunned!

Christine Takes Legal Action After Years of Waiting

Sister Wives star Christine Brown Woolley, a fan favorite left her plural marriage to Kody Brown in March 2021 and moved to Utah with their youngest daughter, Truely. Now, in 2024, Christine has filed a lawsuit against her ex-husband, leaving fans wondering why it took her three years to take legal action. The lawsuit touches on several issues, including back child support and a paternity test for Truely. So, what made Christine wait this long?

Christine’s Struggles as a Single Parent

For many years, Kody Brown was notably absent from the lives of several of his children, particularly those he shared with Christine. As polygamists, Kody was only legally married to his first wife, Meri Brown, until their divorce in 2014 so that he could marry his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, and adopt her three children. This left wives like Christine and Janelle Brown in a tough position. Both women essentially acted as single mothers, with Kody not even listed on some of their children’s birth certificates.

Christine raised six children with minimal involvement from Kody. She shouldered the financial burden, including covering medical bills for their daughter Truely, who was hospitalized as a toddler, and their daughter Ysabel’s scoliosis surgery. Christine even helped with Gwendlyn’s breast reduction surgery. Despite all of this, Kody offered little financial support, prompting Christine to take legal action. But why did she wait three years?

Fans Weigh In: Why Did She Wait?

Fans of Sister Wives took to Reddit to discuss why Christine might have delayed her lawsuit. Many speculated that Christine gave Kody a chance to step up as a father before resorting to legal measures. One user shared:

“I think she gave him 3 years to show her what kind of a father he was going to be before doing anything. I’m guessing he has been completely absent from Truely’s life, and this was the final straw.”

Another theory suggests that the timing could be related to Truely’s age. As she approaches 14, the courts may take her opinion into account when determining custody arrangements.

“I was thinking the ‘Why Now’ is due to Truely being 14 — when courts will consider her opinion on custody arrangements,” one fan noted.

Could Christine’s Lawsuit Impact Kody’s Home Sale?

One of the major concerns circulating among fans is whether Christine’s lawsuit could interfere with Kody and Robyn’s ongoing sale of their Flagstaff home, which is listed for $1.6 million. While some fans speculated that Christine could claim part of Kody’s assets, others pointed out that child support is typically based on income, not property. However, Christine’s case may have solid ground when it comes to child abandonment, especially since Kody’s lack of involvement has been well-documented through years of Sister Wives footage.

A fan on Reddit commented, “Not a lawyer and not sure what the laws in AZ and UT are, but seems to me she has a solid case against him for child abandonment. WELL documented thanks to filming!”

Waiting for Accountability

It seems Christine’s decision to file the lawsuit now may have stemmed from giving Kody a chance to take responsibility. After years of being largely absent from Truely’s life, Christine has decided to hold him accountable through legal action.
