Christine Brown Woolley: Nacho Sister Wife Anymore

[Meow Mix]

I've said this elsewhere, but I am thrilled that she found what she always wanted in David.  My only problem was that she kept repeating that she didn't care what her kids thought.  She used them for emotional support for years and it's not like they were telling her not to marry David.  They were just concerned that she was moving really fast.  I just felt she could have been a bit more sensitive, but she can be as happy as she wants.

I really hope that Christine doesn't come to regret taking this custody issue to court. Kody allowed her to leave the state with no visitation or custody plan. The court could now make decisions that are not in Christine's favor. I had a friend who tried to do something similar, and her ex ended up getting a lot of visitation time, and my friend had to get her child there and back because she moved for questionable reasons.

In my state, when it comes to teenagers (14 and over) the judge heavily considers what they want in terms of visitation. I think if Truly were younger there would be an issue about having to go back and forth but I doubt it at this point.

Also does anyone think Kody will fight for visitation? Although at least now Truly can have her own room in the new McMansion!

misspelled visitation.

Christine wants him to have a relationship with their kids. It’s not about it working out in her favor, it’s about Truely.

I can see him fighting for visitation just to spite Christine. I don't think that he cares about his relationship with Truely any more than he cares about his relationships with all of his other non-Robyn children.

As a remarried homeowner, Christine's Utah residence no longer looks like a fly-by-night Kody dodge. Christine has one or both parents there and probably some siblings, too. She's from Utah. Some of her kids live there. Her husband has an established business there. I'm not too worried.

Besides, I don't think Christine ever wanted to prevent Kody from seeing Truely, anyhow. She wants Kody to pay his fair share of Truely's support, and he should. It seems likely to me that he is balking, and that's what his court action is really about. 

The Yahoo report is an In Touch article; Yahoo republishes via some syndication deal. Here is a link to the original in In Touch. 

The In Touch reporting seems a little sketchy to me. Thank you for sharing it, @Kellyee. I'm not coming down on you. I just get annoyed, because I think In Touch could afford to be accurate.

I also don't put much stock in the source In Touch used:

The news was first reported by Without a Crystal Ball blogger, Katie Paul, on Tuesday, January 7.

 

That YouTuber breaks news sometimes, but I often feel like she gets one bit of information and suggests conclusions I think are too big (at least based on what she's going on).

This part of the In Touch/Yahoo piece is inaccurate:

Shortly after their breakup, Truely made the decision to move in with her mom in Flagstaff, Arizona.

We have seen Truely's life play out since she was Christine's last baby bump. Truely had always lived in her mom's homes:

• Lehi apartment (in the Lehi plyg house)
• Las Vegas rental
• Las Vegas cul-de-sac house
• Flagstaff house.

 

To the extent he did tried to be present in all the families, Kody rotated between the moms' houses. Truely never lived with Kody and Robyn. There was talk about Truely staying over at Kody and Robyn's when she went back to Flagstaff to visit, but I'm not sure that ever took place. 

This wording is inaccurate, too:

Fans of the popular TLC series were skeptical when Christine claimed that she felt like Truely moving in with her would salvage her relationship with Kody, and the dad of 18 slammed her decision.

 

Christine did make some questionable claims on the show, but it was never about Truely "moving in" with her, because True always lived with her. It was more about her moving away with the child.

Christine claimed that by moving to Utah (and taking Truely with her), it might preserve/save Truely's relationship with Kody, because Kody's tendency to ignore all the kids who aren't Robyn's kids wouldn't be right in Truely's face. It sounded like rationalization at the time, because Christine offered it as a "reason" for leaving, quite some time after she left.

That article just pushed some buttons. It's like someone Googled stuff and made big assumptions, or used AI to write the bones of the piece, and doesn't know enough about the show to correct mistakes. They didn't even differentiate between "moving" and "moving in."

I don't.  He would be spending a lot of $$ without any shitty art to show for it. If he cared about Truely, he would have made more attempts to get to know her and have space at wherever he is living.

I think Christine just wants Kody to (possibly quite literally) meet her halfway when it comes to seeing Truely. As in, make plans and stick to them and stop leaving it all on them to chase him or be available. And to pay his share.

Having it all in legal black and white means he can never rewrite his relationship (or lack of) with Truely and Truely won't have to question it herself - it'll all be there.
