Yet that wasn’t the only last-ditch tactic he tried to elicit guilt and fear.
He went as far as to blatantly lie about state custody laws for scare Christine.
She stopped respecting him when he broke their daughter’s heart.

“Otherwise, you’re going to get a lawyer and the government involved state government.
The lawyer’s going to take all the money you have.”
“Does he not understand I want him to be around his kids?

I’m not going to fight him on that,” explained Christine.
“I just started getting creative about it,” he said (viaInsider).
“I just don’t know what to do.

Christine’s like, ‘Why do we need to do this?’
And I’m like, ‘Because the rulebook says?'”
Later on, Kody admitted that he felt threatened by the divorce process.
Christine is now living in Utah closer to her children, and she isengaged to David Woolley.
Most of all, she is free to enjoy her life without being under Kody’s control any longer.
“An enormous weight has been lifted,” she said (viaET).
“Living my life every day, day-to-day, I would say it’s so much better.
I think because I’m so much more grounded.
I just like me, and I like my life so much better now.”
