TECHNICALLY you are right. BUT, if the parents can convince a judge it is in the best interest of the children that no child support be paid it happens. Some reasons -- the non-custodial parent then wouldn't be able to feed the kids at that parent's house during visitation, the NCP is taking on some other expense, the NCP is unable to work and sticking him with unpaid child support which can lead to a suspension of license won't help that. All kinds of reasons. Attorneys can very creatively come up with a best interest of the child reason if the parties agree there is no child support. The agreement wouldn't say "There is no child support in exchange for no visitation." that would NEVER fly. But they worded the child support section in such a way it would fly and there just happened to be no visitation. 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14156-kate-plus-8-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-6380486

CrazyInAlabama October 23, 2020 Share October 23, 2020 (edited) On the market for $1.299million, good luck getting that. Remember there's also an apartment over the garage too, where Jon lived when they moved in while they were still filming, and acting like they were married, and didn't hate each other. I think the purchase price was about $1.2 mil when they bought it. Also, from what I've read they put down the bare minimum on houses. The one where they lived for most of the filming, they put it on the market for a ridiculously high price, because of the celebrity of the show. Then they finally took it off the market, and I think relisted it and sold it. But at that time it came out that they put down the smallest amount possible, and so have almost no equity. With the cul de sac house, they had to do a ton of repair because of the modifications for filming, with lights, and other equipment, and replacement from the usual wear and tear on the house. Even with a full price offer, it will be minus 6% commissions, closing costs, and any credits for defects. So that will take the price down and carrying costs with mortgage, insurance, and taxes plus maintenance until it sells. Of course, the actually amount the seller gets depends on the total sales price after commissions, credits, etc. and the amount of equity in the home, so she might get a nice amount of money. However, it depends on if she refinanced, or how much has been paid on the mortgage over the years. Didn't they buy that house from a previous owner? House was built in 1997. I think the garage second floor apartment is where Jon lived when they moved in there.

CrazyInAlabama November 14, 2020 Share November 14, 2020 (edited) At one time, when the show started, Jon, and especially Kate made appearances at churches all over the country, pushing her book, and getting 'love' offerings. When the drama in the marriage became public, churches no longer wanted either of the couple talking about Christian marriage, or anything else. I understand the list of demands for her appearance (Jon very rarely went) was extensive, and I heard there was a hefty amount of money guarantees. I know that Kate denied it, but I read that they wanted $20k guaranteed, plus all expenses paid. However, the second their marital situation was disclosed, and other rumors, the church market for lectures dried up. My understanding from other articles about the show in the early times, the kids really didn't go on the trips (except for filming), and most of the time Kate went without Jon or the kids. There was a lot of talk about how religious they were, because they had so many babies at once, and claimed they refused selective reduction of some of them, because of the risk factors of multiples.

Adiba November 16, 2020 Share November 16, 2020 In the first season of the show, Jon, Kate and the twins went to California to speak at a church. They talked about how they refused to do selective reduction of some of the embryos when they found out there were six. Outside of the show, I think they did project the religious image and went to speak at churches somewhat regularly. Kate’s father is/was? an assistant pastor so I believe she did grow up in a religious household. I agree that Jon shouldn’t publicly speak about Colin’s issues. However, he may have felt that because it was already out there, he needed to address it and Kate’s statement. I do give him some credit for at least trying to care for Colin at home, and not just dumping him at an institution/school like Kate did (and not even visiting him or bringing him home for holiday visits). 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14156-kate-plus-8-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-6453030
Kellyee November 16, 2020 Share November 16, 2020 Quote I agree that Jon shouldn’t publicly speak about Colin’s issues. However, he may have felt that because it was already out there, he needed to address it and Kate’s statement. I do give him some credit for at least trying to care for Colin at home, and not just dumping him at an institution/school like Kate did (and not even visiting him or bringing him home for holiday visits). I do believe that Jon cares more about really helping Collin than Kate did. I think Kate got either annoyed or overwhelmed and dumped Collin where she wouldn't have to deal with it. But Jon made a big show on Instagram and in the media when he got custody of Collin, saying there was absolutely nothing wrong with Collin beyond some garden-variety ADHD. I don't believe that's true, and I think Jon probably realized that wasn't true pretty soon after he got Collin home full time. Jon and Kate are both using Collin to point fingers at each other, instead of working together to address Collin's issues. Collin is way too old to be lying about his father beating him up (and I do believe it was a lie, because I believe Hannah). He is also old enough to understand the repercussions of putting something like that on social media. And I doubt Hannah or the other kids appreciate Jon going on national television and saying they are at a 12 year old maturity level and need to be re-parented. Jon and Kate Plus Eight may be dead, but the shit show continues for everyone to stare at. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14156-kate-plus-8-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-6453088
ellenr33 November 17, 2020 Share November 17, 2020 (edited) I wish they would just move on with their lives and quit pointing fingers at each other and realize that their both old news. Nobody cared about Kate trying to find love on TLC. I'm sure whenever Kate or Jon say something about each other the kids get asked about it. I wouldn't want all my families dirty laundry aired when I was 16 and I'm sure these kids are over it. I'm sure the kids did love getting to go to Disney, Australia, or wherever they went to because of the show. But can they just move on with their lives. I can't wait till one of these kids write a tell all book about their parents because while I think Jon seems like he is the more pleasant one to be around I think they both suck!

Kellyee December 23, 2020 Share December 23, 2020 I re-watched the last episode of the original series last night on TLC On Demand. Jon didn't look sober and he admitted he had just moved 3 hours away from his kids voluntarily to live in New York. Kate seemed far more upset about the loss of the show than she was about her marriage or the trauma the public fiasco was causing to their children. Then Jon acted like a complete dick to Maddy and Cara over posters for a lemonade stand, and Kate forced 6 five years old to march down a public country road for a mile to a farm while the crew and paparazzi trailed behind. They were both assholes. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14156-kate-plus-8-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-6514857

Kellyee January 6, 2021 Share January 6, 2021 Quote The house is still pending sale. I wonder what contingencies were in the offer. Mady posted something a few weeks back of them decorating a Christmas tree. From what little you could see, it looked like a different house to me. So I assumed they moved sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But it's possible that they didn't. I'm super curious about whether Kate is trying to move the remaining kids farther away from Jon so it's harder for them to flee to his house like Hannah did. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14156-kate-plus-8-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-6535356

Kellyee January 14, 2021 Share January 14, 2021 Jon is turning into a bigger famewhore than Kate with all the appearances on Dr. Oz. I don't understand how he really thinks constantly putting his family back into the media spotlight is going to make his children want to talk to him. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14156-kate-plus-8-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-6548791

Collin has some kind of mental/emotional problem that no one has clearly defined to the public. Jon says he has ADHD and then PTSD from having Kate as his mother, but no one knows for sure. Anyway, Kate dumped Collin at an in-patient mental health facility for treatment for 3 years. Jon finally found out where he was and got him out. As for Hannah, there was some much publicized drama where she didn't want to live with Kate and there were public arguments over Hannah's visitation. Then Hannah moved in with Jon, Kate tried to get her back but failed in the courts to get her, and now it appears that Kate has disowned her. But there has been no official explanation why Hannah wanted to get away from Kate, and it's rather fascinating because when the kids were little, Hannah always appeared to be Kate's favorite child. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14156-kate-plus-8-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-6550354
CrazyInAlabama January 30, 2021 Share January 30, 2021 They finally sold the house, after pending for months. It sold for a little less than they paid for it, over 10 years ago. Combined with commissions, etc. I'm guessing they broke even if they're lucky. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14156-kate-plus-8-general-discussion/page/34/#findComment-6577345
