General Days October 25 Share October 25 @ginger90, your quote of me is actually where I'm quoting you. I think the board screws up the attribution on these things. I understand what you mean. But his counterclaim may not be that Christine owes him anything, but rather, just that her claims are overstated. By the way, I don't even mean when it comes to Truely's support itself. It should be easy enough to prove he did or did not pay child support. It's that sometimes, a plaintiff (in this case, Christine) will ask to be reimbursed for something, and the defendant (Kody) will counterclaim in order to rebut that they owe the plaintiff anything for [whatever that thing is]. So Christine might come up with some owed-child-support figure, and base it on a whole bunch of items. And on some of those items, Kody may push back, contending they wouldn't be a normal child support related expense. That could be what his counterclaim is. Goodness gracious. What I just posted sounds convoluted enough for a Brown to have said it. 3 7 Link to comment

Denize October 25 Share October 25 (edited) A counterclaim is expected if he disagreed with what Christine claimed. A counterSUIT is a lawsuit asserting an independent cause of action that would favour Kody and would probably require more $$$ from Kody to fight. Edited October 25 by Denize 5 1 4 Link to comment
General Days October 25 Share October 25 The filing is labeled an "Answer and Counterclaim." WOACB presented it like a countersuit. It's also a private document, so I doubt either WOACB or The Ashley saw the contents. They just know it was filed. 5 Link to comment

Salacious Kitty October 25 Share October 25 Now WOACB has evidence that Kody and Robyn have bought a huge house (6BR/7BA) and put it in a trust. The old house hasn't sold (didn't they take it off the market)? Where is Kody getting the money for this, and will it affect Christine's suit for support? 1 6 Link to comment

Kody must have been quietly pocketing money for years to be able to afford the mortgage payment on a 2 million dollar house! $2,100,000 purchase price with only 20% down is a mortgage of $1,680,000. That has to be a monthly payment of over $12,000. Edited October 25 by smarty 10 Link to comment

Something doesn't smell right...... Maybe he got a bridge loan? It's kind of like taking out an equity loan on the old property (with it as collateral) before it's sold to finance the down payment and closing costs of the new one. That's assuming the other house is still on the market, though, and they would still have to afford the monthly payments on both houses, but if the bridge loan amount is enough that can help with that too. 2 1 1 Link to comment

Auntie Freeze October 26 Share October 26 Well Janelle seems to have gotten the money to go in on Taeda Farm from somewhere. And Meri is remodelling Lizzie's (though she can likely afford that on her own). It's possible they've been bought out and that Christine waited to file until Janelle had gotten a settlement. 5 2 Link to comment

Gramto6 October 26 Share October 26 Sorry if I posted a repeat in another thread re the possible sale of CP, I hadn't read this thread yet. It was late at night for me and I wanted to post that thought then I went to bed. If we know anything at all about K&R is they look out for themselves first!! I feel they would do just about anything they think they can get away with to amass as much of the monies from the family pot and OG's as possible, before anyone else could lay a claim to it. Frankly, I don't trust either one of them any further than I could throw them. 10 4 Link to comment

It is interesting that the mortgage of $1,680,000 is very close to the asking price of $1,650,000 for their run down house with no updating, no air conditioning, crumbling deck, cistern & propane tanks that need to be filled frequently, baby-poo colour scheme, brothelesque master suite, missing grout, etc. Nobody believed the place was worth that much! Kody thought he could find a sucker like himself who would buy the place and effectively "pay for" Robyn's newer house. Edited October 26 by Denize 10 Link to comment
LilyD Monday at 09:05 PM Share Monday at 09:05 PM Christine was once desperate to marry Kody. She believed herself madly in love and wanted to be his 3rd wife more than anything else, even though Kody wasn't too happy about it but felt pressured into it. Now she seems desperate to get married again. She believes herself madly in love and wants to be his new wife more than anything else. Does anyone else see the parallels here? She's older, but none the wiser though David seems to genuinely care for her. 9 Link to comment

Yes, those parallels have not been lost on me, but if she's going to lose her mind over someone and be desperate to marry them, she could do a lot worse than David. He seems like a solid, decent, stable guy and I never would have said that about Kody. Kody always bugged me. I just hope she doesn't get hurt this time. I can't see David hurting her, though. If anything goes wrong I think it will be her passion for him cooling over time, which can be a challenge to get through when you start out that infatuated with someone. And I don't know if she's emotionally mature enough to weather that. David may be a really nice guy but he is a bit older than she is and already not that great looking, and I don't know if Christine is thinking about what that might mean after several years. His energy level will be going down when hers is still higher. That and any age related health conditions could impact them in many ways including in the bedroom. 5 Link to comment

I see your point, but take into account that she was tied to Kody for so many years. When I heard she had gotten involved with David, my first thought was that he wouldn't have to be that magnificent in the bedroom to turn her head. Just someone who is loving and actually kisses her and wants to be with her would be a revelation to her. Also, Christine's energy level is going to change as well . Take it from someone on the other end of the 50s they might even out together. I wish them the best. That said, I wish she had slowed down at least for Truely's sake. Anyone can be on their best behavior for a few months, so I would want to see the guy for a while before I brought him around my hypothetical kid. Part of getting to know someone is seeing if they are patient enough to move at a slower pace. If David was rushing things as well, I would be very suspicious. 10 Link to comment
laurakaye Yest. at 03:47 PM Share Yest. at 03:47 PM I'm cool with Christine losing her mind over David but it's clear that her kids think she is moving way too fast. And while Christine has waited a long time to find a man who seems to really love her, her saying that she doesn't care what her kids think isn't going to help them get over the fact that Kody never loved their mother and has been an absentee dad to most of them. Just because Christine has been able to move on at lightning speed doesn't mean the kids have, no matter how badly Kody treated all of them. She really should've allowed them to catch up instead of looking at wedding venues when they'd only been dating 6 weeks. Truely was actively trying to break them up on the last episode by running in between them. I wish she'd have given her kids time to heal. 8 4 Link to comment

Truely was actively trying to break them up on the last episode by running in between them. I wish she'd have given her kids time to heal. The timeline is a jumble in my head. I know Christine married David in October 2023. I know Christine said in this most recent episode (S19.E07 "Labor of Love") that she started dating David in early December 2022, and in a Talking-Head, she dated the Moab wedding venue excursion to late January 2023 — so six to eight weeks after they met. Christine left Kody in the autumn of 2021 though, right? That is, this excursion was over a year after she left Kody, right? It wasn't just a couple/few months. Is that correct? I still think it was too soon, maybe not after the split from Kody itself (although kind of that as well), but just too soon after meeting David. I think a smarter woman would have given her kids (and herself) a year to get to know this man, before marrying him and bringing Truely to live with him (six months at the very least). Hell lady, you haven't even seen how he's gonna hold up in hot weather. 3 1 1 1 2 Link to comment
Sasha888 Yest. at 08:05 PM Share Yest. at 08:05 PM I will be interested to see if Truely decides to spend any time with Kody. My first thought was that she would not, but after seeing this latest episode where she tries several times to physically shove her mom and David apart, I am now not so sure. I think Christine may have waited to sue for child support until Truely would be old enough to choose whether or not she wanted to visit her dad - thinking she'd choose not to visit K&R. But perhaps Truely surprised her, and said she did want the visits. And then Robyn leveraged that into getting herself a new house - because she "needed a room for Truely" (and tacked on a guest house and a downstairs apt for Dayton and her mother and whoever else she could think of). I'm no child psychologist, but Truely pushing and shoving on C&D made me think she is really, really upset. And Ysabel was making "gag" faces at how much they were hanging all over each other. I get that Christine has had a hard life, but so have her kids - can't she show them any respect? Her statements about how they better just get used to it, and "oh well, too bad" seem incredibly selfish to me. Christine's social media posts make everything seem fine, but Truely isn't taking this as well as I thought she was, and I wonder if she's decided to still have visits with her dad to get a break from the PDA twins. Christine does deserve child support and all that, but she really should grow up and start acting like a mother, or she will be the one "getting used to" her kids not wanting to be around her. It would be nice if Christine and Kody would spend as much time thinking about Truely's adjustment to this situation as we on this board do! 7 Link to comment
65mickey 23 hours ago Share 23 hours ago I would not have moved him into the house prior to the marriage. Didn't he have his own place? Truely has had a tough couple of years. She is a smart kid and could see the rejection that she received form Kody. We could also see that she was uncomfortable with the PDA between David and her mother. Christine should have been more understanding with Truely. But it was like she was not going to let him get away. No siree. 7 Link to comment
ginger90 23 hours ago Share 23 hours ago Truely will not get to decide what the order says regarding visitation. I would certainly hope that 2 years later things have gotten more settled as far as the “yuck factor “ with Christine, David, and the kids. 4 1 Link to comment

She stated before the breakup that if Kootie had come back into her bed, she would have stayed. And that was after he refused to go with Ysabel for her surgery. She acts like she supports her kids but she's a selfish teeny bopper snogging her boyfriend even when it makes her kids uncomfortable. She's as bad to me, me, me as Kootie, just not as noxious.

From the distance of our monitors we were saying she moved too fast. If the kids were reacting so obviously to the new guy, then Christine should have slowed things way down. It wouldn't have killed Christine or David to give the kids time to get to know him and to adjust. A month or two is nothing in her situation. Those comments were extremely selfish and dismissive of her children who had valid concerns. 6 2 Link to comment

LilyD 16 hours ago Share 16 hours ago My main concern is not just about Truely shoving David and Christine apart. It’s how she behaved constantly when visiting those wedding venues. It goes from manically running in and out of the picture, to a sort of absent-minded “floating” in and out of the background Also, if you look closely, you see she makes very little contact with everybody else. Even taking Christine and David apart was little more than physically separating them. This isn’t standard behavior for a 14-year-old Mind you, I’m not saying there is something seriously wrong with Truely herself, but I do see a teen who is struggling to deal with everything around her. And that is a lot! Christine should have been more mindful of that, but like you all said: Christine is all about herself…. 2 Link to comment
surfgirl 13 hours ago Share 13 hours ago (edited) All this armchair child psychologizing (yes it's a real word, maybe!) is just that. Nobody here or anywhere in the viewersphere really knows what went on, nor what is going on. Truly's behavior looks totally normal for a kid her age reacting to her mom's boyfriend. It doesn't look overwrought to me at all. And not for nothing but she's never seen her bio-dad treat her mom with affection so it's all new to her. Again, it seems like a totally normal reaction from a pre-teen kid. I didn't hear any of her kids say that they did not like David or that David was weird or anything negative. They only said THEY felt their mom was moving too fast. But that is their issue and there are many reasons they may have felt that way. And it's all moot anyway because TLC has already shown us a full wedding special so we all already know how happy C&D's kids are that they got married. Which begs the real question: WTF is TLC showing us this garbage when we know they had a fabulous family centered wedding and everyone was happy? Edited 1 hour ago by surfgirl 3 5 Link to comment

So it makes sense that she's a little younger than her years in some aspects. I'd bet she's ahead of her years in other areas such as reading. 3 Link to comment
