Sister Wives: Kody Tries to Cheat on Ex-Wives by Yanking House Off Market

Sister Wives star Kody Brown has put his and Robyn Brown’s expensive Flagstaff home on the market. This decision coincides with Christine Brown filing a lawsuit against her ex-husband, which could cost Kody a lot of money.

So, the question on everyone’s mind is – is Kody playing real estate games to avoid paying what he owes one (or more) of his ex-wives? Because all three seniors have money tied up in the equity of Robyn and Kody’s home.

In TLC’s Sister Wives, the timeline of events is as follows:

• In August, Kody and Robyn listed their 4,400 square foot, five bedroom, four bathroom home for $1.65 million. This is almost double the $890,000 they paid in 2019.
• Then on September 15, Sister Wives season 19 premiered. And, the next day, Christine’s lawyer filed a lawsuit against Kody Brown. The case is to establish Kody’s father as Truely Brown’s father. With that comes the need for current and updated child support payments.
• By October 8, Kody had taken the house off the market. But, not before reducing the price by $700,000 to $949,000. This amount was just $59,000 more than what they bought five years ago.

This move seems suspicious. What were Kody and Robyn’s motivations for dropping out? Could it be that they reduce the price, and then remove the list, so that it appears that there is no equity in the house? Or you are not interested in the market?

Sister Wives: Kody Brown Takes Flagstaff House Off Market Amid Christine’s Case

Sister Wives fans saw the family move from Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona, in mid-2018. And this was the beginning of their financial meddling.

When Robyn got her dream big house in 2019, she and Kody didn’t have enough money to pay. At that time, Kody was still spiritually married to Christine Brown, Janelle Brown and Meri Brown.

Therefore, all three other Sister Wives, had to kick in their own money to pay. In other words – all three other wives paid for Robyn Brown’s house.

Janelle believed that the donations were large enough to warrant adding her, Meri, and Christine to the legal documents (as mortgages). But, Kody refused. And he said it was necessary to “protect” Robyn’s legacy.

Robyn mentioned this in an episode of Sister Wives. He asked, “How do you…count, how do you get that? It’s very confusing.”

Except it isn’t. They know how much each wife gave them. That is the principal of the loan. So, he and Kody owe you that plus a reasonable amount of interest. This is similar to what Kody and Robyn Brown would have had to pay on a second mortgage to cover a down payment they couldn’t afford themselves.

Or, you can take the amount of money each wife puts into the house, and calculate it equal to the percentage of ownership. For example, if each wife puts in equal amounts they will each own 25% of the house.

Now, just get the expensive Flagstaff house appraised and pay each ex-wife a percentage of the proceeds from the sale after the mortgage is paid off. Easy peasy.

But that it is very difficult to calculate the payment, so you don’t have to pay it back is a mystery.

SW: Janelle, Meri, and Christine Owe Robyn’s House Down Payment?

Janelle Brown already mentioned in the latest episode of getting a lawyer to settle the matter. Because Kody told Sister Wives that he refuses to talk to her about it. Or give him the details.

The combination of Janelle’s threat of legal action and Christine’s child support lawsuit could explain why Kody doesn’t want to sell the house right now.

If he and Robyn get the cash from the auction, they may have to pay a portion of the child support to Christine when the court order is made.

Christine should be entitled to at least three years of back child support, if not more. A lot depends on when Kody stopped supporting Truely Brown. Also, he will have to pay continued child support until Truely turns 18 (or possibly longer if he goes to college).

As for Janelle, Meri, and Christine Brown, they should, at the very least, be able to recoup their investment. Plus interest, up to 10% under Arizona state law.

If Kody Brown sells the property, he will likely be forced to pay his three ex-wives for their investment.

By choosing not to sell, Kody and Robyn may be able to delay getting Meri, Janelle, and Christine back. This actually gives Kody and Robyn a reason to never sell the house.

In fact, if they were to move to another house, they could keep the house and make it a rental property. Wouldn’t you love to stay at Robyn and Kody Brown’s great AirBNB near Coyote Pass and see all of her “amazing artwork” on the walls?
