Buckle up. Todd Tucker’s counterclaim in his divorce from Kandi Burruss just went public, and he’s got some big demands. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum filed for divorce last month, 11 years after tying the knot. Now, he’s asking for primary physical custody of their two kids, and he’s also questioning the validity of their prenup.
Todd Tucker says he signed a prenup before marrying Kandi Burruss due to pressure
In Kandi’s initial divorce filing, she asked for joint custody of their two kids, Ace and Blaze. She also requested that their 2014 prenup be enforced. Todd has other ideas.
Court documents reviewed by Us Weekly revealed that Todd has requested primary custody of their kids. According to Todd, the kids are currently in his care while Kandi handles “out-of-state work obligations.” He said it would stay that way for several months.
Per the court docs, Todd is hopeful that he and Kandi can come to a custody agreement on their own. They’re continuing discussions in “good faith.” Should those conversations fall apart, he’ll pursue physical custody, joint legal custody, and final decision-making authority.
Elsewhere in the counterclaim, Todd and his lawyers questioned the prenup. The court docs accuse Kandi’s legal team of presenting the prenup without him having lawyers present. They claim that Kandi’s legal team had previously spoken with Todd’s legal team about a “potential prenuptial agreement,” but they wound up having him sign it without their approval. Bravo fans saw this drama play out on Kandi’s wedding spinoff.
“Despite that knowledge, [Kandi’s] counsel presented the final agreement to [Todd] for signature immediately before the wedding ceremony, without any notice to or consultation with [Todd’s team], who had been significantly engaged in the negotiation process,” the filing claimed.
“These circumstances raise substantial questions concerning the enforceability of said document. Nevertheless, [Todd] remains committed to working in good faith to resolve this matter amicably and privately to the extent possible,” it continued.
With that in mind, Todd has a list of demands if the prenup is found unenforceable. He wants the “division of all marital assets, both real and personal, tangible and intangible, between the parties.” He’ll also seek alimony.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in Canada, the UK and Ireland.
