Sister Wives CHRISTINE Woolley WINS BIG—KODY BROWN FORCED to PAY After YEARS of Threats & Control
After years of emotional manipulation, threats, and financial abandonment, Christine Woolley (formerly Christine Brown) has finally claimed a legal victory that fans say was long overdue: Kody Brown is now officially required to pay child support. And it’s not just a court ruling — it’s a symbolic end to years of control from a man who believed he was untouchable.
Christine Breaks Free — And Fights Back
Christine filed for custody, paternity, parenting time, and child support back in September 2024. Kody’s immediate response? Retaliation. He filed a counterclaim, but the two entered mediation, and now — according to official court filings — a judge has formally ordered Kody to pay.
The ruling also establishes paternity and parenting time, meaning all custody matters concerning their daughter Truly are now legally settled. There’s no room for further manipulation. No more games. No more threats.
And yes — Kody had previously threatened Christine, saying if she ever came for child support, he would hire lawyers to drain her financially. But Christine didn’t back down. She went to court — and she won.
Kody’s Record of Avoiding Responsibility
During the Sister Wives tell-all, Cody proudly mentioned he had “paid for some cars” and “maybe some tuition.” But that’s where his support stopped.
Christine had covered nearly everything for her children — from daily expenses to medical bills, including the entire cost of daughter Isabelle’s spinal surgery, which Kody refused to contribute to. While Kody bought himself $200,000 cars and multi-million-dollar houses, Christine paid the real price of raising children — alone.
In Utah, where Christine filed, child-rearing costs average $18,800 per year, per child — and Christine had no legal or financial support from the man who fathered her kids.
Now that she holds primary custody, Utah law requires Kody to pay. Though the exact amount hasn’t been disclosed, it’s estimated he could owe well over $1,000/month, depending on income and assets — including his reality TV paychecks and properties.
Court-Enforced Accountability
Because the order is now official, if Kody refuses to pay, the state can garnish his wages or bank accounts, and failure to comply could result in contempt charges or criminal penalties for non-support. And Christine could still pursue back payments for up to three years.
Given Kody’s past behavior, fans are skeptical he’ll cooperate — but this time, the law is on Christine’s side.
A New Chapter — With Real Love and Support
While Kody remains bitter and resistant, Christine has moved forward with her life — both personally and legally. Her daughter Truly is now thriving under her care, and she’s built a strong, loving bond with Christine’s new husband, David Woolley.
Unlike Cody, David is described as present, supportive, and kind — stepping into a father role with grace. Fans have praised their dynamic as refreshingly normal, even healing, after years of public dysfunction.
Christine is also preparing to release her memoir this September, which will dive deeper into her experience in a polygamous marriage, the emotional control she endured, and her journey to freedom.
Christine’s Memoir — and Kody’s Reckoning
Titled Christine Brown Woolley, the memoir is expected to reveal untold stories and truths from her time in the Brown family. Early previews promise never-before-shared details and a heartfelt, brutally honest look into her life as Kody’s third wife — and her transformation after walking away.
With this legal victory, Christine has proven what many suspected: Kody Brown wasn’t just emotionally absent — he financially abandoned his kids, too.
Now, he can’t run from that truth any longer.
Final Thought:
Christine stood up to the man who once controlled her entire world — and won. Her story is more than revenge. It’s resilience, justice, and healing.
And for Kody Brown? The days of unchecked control are over.
