Sister Wives: Christine Brown’s Legal Battle Against Villain Kody Takes Shocking Turn While She Attempts To Heal From Heartbreak

The custody case for Truely, the daughter of Sister Wives cast members Christine Brown and Kody Brown, has taken an unexpected turn. The couple entered a spiritual marriage in March 1994 while Kody was still married to Meri Brown. In the following years, Kody divorced Meri and married his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, to legally adopt her children from a previous marriage. As the tension between Kody's four marriages escalated, he broke Christine's heart by admitting he never found her attractive. Eventually, Christine separated from Kody in November 2021 and tied the knot with David Woolley in October 2023.

Sister Wives' Christine Brown and Kody Brown have been directed to go to compulsory parenting and divorce classes, along with mediation.

Even though Christine and Kody were never married to each other, the court is treating their situation as a divorce case and has mandated that they participate in divorce classes. As per a video posted by Without A Crystal Ball on YouTube and court documents acquired by InTouch, Christine and Kody have been directed to go to compulsory parenting and divorce classes, along with mediation. Kody and Christine will not only have to face each other, but they will also have to deal with a guardian ad litem that the court may appoint for their daughter, Truely.

Christine & Kody's Spiritual Marriage Is Perceived As Legally Binding

It's surprising to see the legal system require Kody and Christine to attend divorce classes, especially since they were never legally married. However, it is understandable that the court wants them to improve their co-parenting skills and work together to raise their children. Although most of Kody and Christine's children are now adults, their daughter Truely is only 14 years old and still needs a stable home environment to thrive. The court likely mandated the parenting and divorce classes to help Kody and Christine learn how to coexist and provide appropriate care for their daughter.

Kody and Christine have experienced many challenges over the last three years. Their disagreements have impacted other Brown family members, leading to increased on-screen drama and chaos. The court has required that Kody and Christine attend divorce classes, possibly because their spiritual marriage was essentially equivalent to a legal marriage. While they may not have officially married or divorced, they have openly showcased their plural marriage to Sister Wives viewers and have six children together. They lived as a married couple for nearly 30 years, which is a significant amount of time.

Kody and Christine may feel awkward attending divorce classes together. However, it seems essential for their daughter, Truely, who deserves to be part of a stable household. The young child deserves a father and a mother who don't constantly fight over past issues. While Kody and Christine may not want to attend the courses, they might benefit from them in the long term. The divorce and co-parenting classes may allow them to be more tolerant toward each other, which will also help improve their relationships with other Sister Wives cast members.
