Kody Brown Is Facing Off With Christine Brown Woolley

Over the past few months, Sister Wives stars, Christine Brown Woolley and Kody Brown have been working to settle a custody and child support battle in Utah courts.

While Christine took her time bringing the initial case, Kody didn’t waste much time with his countersuit. During the case, evaluators review details determining how to proceed for Truely Brown.

Will Kody Brown Have To Take Psych Evaluation For Court?

On Reddit, Sister Wives fans discuss Kody Brown’s situation with a custody battle with Christine Brown Woolley. Christine sued over child support and custody of their teenage daughter, Truely Brown. A user brings up the topic, “Kody Psychological Profile for Custody Case.”

Then, they ask, “I had a friend involved in a custody dispute and both parents were required to be interviewed by a psychologist and their psychological reports were submitted as evidence in the case.

Does anyone know if Utah does this? If not, can Christine’s attorney file a motion requiring this? Obviously this information would be sealed and the public would have no access to it, but I feel it would only be beneficial to Truley since Kody is now trying to get 50% custody (to reduce child support).”

Furthermore, they believe it would reveal Kody is unfit. Saying, “It is obvious from his behavior on the show he has psychological issues that seem to be escalating.

Really hope he has to do a urine test too. Would that detect if someone is on steroids?”

  • One user says, “I don’t think that will be necessary. Truely is old enough for the courts to ask her what SHE wants. Doubt she’d want to spend half of her time with K&R.”

Fans Offer Information

Although many Sister Wives fans are questioning where the original poster got the “50/50” custody, some people believe Kody Brown won’t have to have a psych eval unless Christine Brown Woolley forces the issue.

  • One user says, “No, Utah doesn’t require parents have a psychological evaluation. The judge can order it, either party can request it.” Furthermore, the viewer inquires, “Where are you getting he’s, ‘trying to get 50% custody’ from?”
  • Someone else clarifies, “There is so much misinformation and assumption on that. Christine filed, he responded and people think he is counter suing because WOACB said something that either she or people twisted the info and turned it into he’s suing for full or 50/50. None of us know, including WOACB what is happening and IDK when they will go to court.”
  • Another viewer adds, “I doubt he’d comply with psych eval or take it seriously.”

Other Fans Weigh In

While many people see Kody Brown as unhinged, only time will tell if he complies. Other fans offer their knowledge on the matter.

  • Someone else says, “I would love to read a psychiatrist’s assessment of Kody’s anger issues and lack of impulse control, and Robyn’s victim complex. Madison is so right to keep them away from her kids, as she referenced his anger and inability to self-reflect on her podcast recently.”
  • “It’s not a psychological evaluation. It’s a court appointed advisor who interviews both parents separately and sometimes the child, depending on their age. The court appointed advisor then submits their report to the court with their recommendations. This report is highly influential with the judge. A family court judge will only order a psychological evaluation if there is evidence presented that deems one necessary. Like, suicidal threats, major depression, etc. A judge is not going to order Kody to have one done.”

How Will Utah View Kody Brown’s Parenting?

However, according to Wall & Wall Attorneys in Salt Lake City, UT, there is a good chance Kody Brown may have psychological testing. Their website indicates, “A good evaluation incorporates multiple sources and methods for gathering information, including: Psychological testing of both parents and children.”

Some Fans Give Personal Experience

  • Another Redditor has experience in New York, “I’m a clinical psychologist in NYC and here a parental psych eval can be requested by either party, by either attorney or by the judge him/herself. In the vast majority of contested custody cases, both parents are first seen individually and then with their children to better assess the depth of bonding &/or dysfunction present. Lastly, the child (or children) are seen individually for an age appropriate exploration of the home in which the child feels most comfortable, safe and heard. The information from the totality of the sessions and our expert recommendations are then presented to the court to be utilized as the judge & attorney(s) feel fit.”

What Evaluation Can Kody Brown Expect To Face?

Wall & Wall also provides some areas of evaluation that Kody Brown will face in Utah courts. Some people have speculated that Kody has a mental illness and has not been a sufficient parent. Additionally, others even believe he is abusive. With the investigations, the courts will determine how to proceed with Truely Brown.
