The Bravo Docket

• The Sister Wives Legal Files (Part 2)

  We’re back for part two of our Sister Wives deep dive! This week, we’re unpacking the legal twists and turns behind Kody Brown’s unconventional family — from bankruptcy filings and bigamy investigations to the lawsuit that challenged Utah’s anti-polygamy laws. We’ll explore how the Browns managed to stay on TV despite potential felony charges, what their “spiritual marriages” actually mean under the law, and the financial fallout that came with life in plural marriage. What’s on the Docket? The Browns’ 2005 bankruptcy filing and what it revealed about their finances before fame Why Utah police investigated Kody for bigamy and why no charges stuck The Brown family’s lawsuit against Utah’s anti-polygamy laws and why their victory was overturned How the family structured their income through an LLC and what that could mean legally The Coyote Pass property dispute and Christine’s child support lawsuit Listener questions about life insurance, “spiritual” marriage, and what happens to stepchildren in plural families Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠ The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.
