What’s going on with Kandi and Todd’s divorce?
Days after the divorce announcement, Kandi told PEOPLE that she and Todd Tucker were going to spend Thanksgiving together. At that time, he gave the same reason: to the children. “…We’re trying to make this transition as smooth as possible for our kids. That’s our biggest concern. We’re keeping it very friendly,” he said. And, during Amazon Live, he admitted that he went through it during the divorce, feeling up and down.
The day before Thanksgiving, a new development in Kandi’s breakup with Todd Tucker turned on her. He filed a petition to keep their children. He mentioned Kandi’s outside work, saying that Ace and Blaze especially stayed with him when he was away. If he and he can’t reach an agreement, Tucker reportedly shared his intention to seek “basic physical custody, joint legal custody, and final decision-making authority.” He also noted that he signed their prenup shortly before getting married, and without an attorney. If the court finds the prenup invalid, Todd Tucker is seeking alimony from his soon-to-be wife.
Days later, Kandi responded with an amended divorce petition. She said the prenup was forced, noting that Bravo TV cameras captured the signing and Todd saying it was “nice” to do it. She also went from seeking joint legal and physical custody to seeking primary custody of the two children, ages nine and six. She explained that Todd Tucker also travels out of state for work, and that they have an involved, extensive and accessible family support network.
