I am giving you a behind the scenes, detailed breakdown of the Kandi v. Todd divorce/prenup/custody battle from the perspective of a 25-year Atlanta Divorce Attorney! Context: we break down the real court filings from the Tucker divorce and place them in the full context of Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker’s 11-year marriage, public careers, and long-running business partnership. According to Kandi’s Petition and Amended Petition, she and Todd married in April 2014, after negotiating and signing a detailed prenuptial agreement that was filmed for Bravo’s Kandi’s Wedding special. Attorney Randall Kessler represented Todd during those negotiations, which became a major storyline on the show.
Kandi Burruss is a Grammy-winning songwriter, longtime star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and co-owner of multiple Atlanta businesses including Old Lady Gang, Blaze Steak & Seafood, Tags Boutique, and various production companies. Todd Tucker, formerly a Bravo production manager, transitioned into full-time entrepreneurship after their marriage, partnering with Kandi in restaurants, real estate ventures, and TV/film production projects.
The pleadings confirm the couple shares two children: a son born in 2016 and a daughter born in 2019. Kandi states she has historically relied on a full-time nanny and an extensive Atlanta-based family network for childcare, and she requests primary physical custody and final decision-making authority over education and healthcare.
Todd’s Answer and Counterclaim presents a different picture, asserting that the children are currently residing with him in Georgia because Kandi’s ongoing out-of-state entertainment work requires extended travel. He challenges the procedural sufficiency of her petition and raises substantial questions about the enforceability of the prenuptial agreement, arguing it was presented immediately before the ceremony. He announces his intent to seek primary physical custody and equitable division of marital assets.
