Janelle Brown Seeks Legal Counsel Amidst Coyote Pass Property Dispute with Kody Brown

Janelle Brown, star of TLC’s Sister Wives, has taken legal action to secure her share of the Coyote Pass property in Flagstaff, Arizona, amidst her separation from Kody Brown. In a recent episode, Janelle revealed to Christine Brown, another former wife of Kody, that she retained a lawyer to protect her assets during the ongoing division of the property. This conversation took place during a video call that also included Christine’s husband, David Woolley, and Janelle and Kody’s daughter, Madison. Christine, who left the plural marriage in November 2021, initiated the conversation about the future of Coyote Pass.

Janelle stated her intention to pursue a separation of assets, explaining that she has repeatedly inquired about selling the property but has been met with indifference from Kody. He often deflects her questions, suggesting she consult with Meri Brown, another of his wives who confirmed their separation in January 2023.

Janelle confirmed that the Coyote Pass property has been fully paid off, addressing a major concern she voiced in previous episodes. Kody’s perceived lack of seriousness regarding the potential sale of the property prompted Janelle to seek legal representation, as she stated in a September 2024 episode. She expressed frustration with Kody’s evasiveness, emphasizing the need for a clear resolution regarding the property’s division. She hopes having legal counsel will streamline the process and ensure a fair outcome.

Janelle explained to Christine and David that Kody consistently postpones discussions about selling the property and directs her to Meri for further conversation. By hiring a lawyer, Janelle aims to have an impartial advocate present a clear proposal for the property’s division.

The current ownership structure of the 14-acre property presents a significant challenge. If sold as is, Meri would only receive compensation for approximately 1.5 acres. This disparity stems from how the land titles are currently structured, with Kody holding the majority ownership. Earlier in the episode, Meri revealed that Kody had previously asserted she wasn’t entitled to an equal share due to having only one child with him.

Janelle expressed concern over Kody’s inconsistent behavior and lack of transparency regarding the division process. She questioned his willingness to ensure a fair distribution of assets, highlighting the erosion of trust caused by the divorce. Kody, however, later contradicted these concerns in a conversation with his realtor, stating his intention to divide the proceeds equally among himself, his current wife Robyn, and his ex-wives Janelle, Christine, and Meri.

While Kody claims he will divide the money equally, the conflicting perspectives underscore the tension and mistrust that permeate the family’s relationships. With Janelle, Christine, and Meri separated from Kody, and Robyn remaining as his sole wife, the future of Coyote Pass and the equitable distribution of its value remains uncertain. The ongoing disagreements highlight the complexities of dissolving a plural marriage and dividing shared assets. The unfolding drama continues to captivate audiences as the Brown family navigates these challenging circumstances.
