The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kandi Burruss is using Bravo footage as evidence to fight her estranged husband Todd Tucker’s claims about their prenuptial agreement, Us Weekly can exclusively report.

Burruss filed an amended divorce petition on Monday, December 1, addressing Tucker’s allegations that he was asked to sign their 2014 prenuptial agreement without his lawyer present.

She said he was represented by a high-powered attorney before the marriage and disputed his claim that the prenup was not enforceable due to lack of legal representation.

"The parties’ journey to executing an enforceable Prenuptial Agreement was filmed and broadcast on Bravo television network, with the knowledge and consent of both [Burruss] and [Tucker], for their five-part reality television wedding documentary entitled Kandi’s Wedding that premiered on June 1, 2014,” Burruss’ lawyer noted in the filing, obtained by Us.

 

Burruss filed for divorce on November 21 and asked for joint legal and physical custody, a request that has now changed. In her amended divorce petition, Burruss modified her proposal to share joint custody to demand primary custody of their son Ace, born in 2016, and daughter Blaze, born in 2019.

In her filing, her lawyer noted that both Burruss and Tucker are “public figures and self-employed entrepreneurs.” She said she has paid for their children’s nanny whenever they had to travel for work.

Burruss said she was not the only parent to have to travel. Her lawyer noted, “Both [Burruss] and [Tucker] have held professional obligations that have required each party to travel away from the home for extended period of times, independently and jointly, prior to and after the births of both of the minor children.”

The RHOA alum added that on top of the nanny their children have a “diverse and concentrated family support network, which includes maternal grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins within a five to 20-mile radius of the family residence.”
