Todd Tucker Requests Surprising Legal Actions After Separating From Kandi Burruss

Todd Tucker, soon to be ex-husband of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kandi Burruss, has made a startling move in legal documents submitted shortly after Burruss revealed their decision to divorce. The couple, who tied the knot in 2014 during a Bravo wedding special, have had a turbulent relationship, marked by disputes over money and their prenuptial agreement.

Custody and Asset Requests

On Wednesday, November 26, Tucker submitted a court response seeking primary custody of their two children, Blaze and Ace Tucker. He claimed Burruss demanding work commitments would keep her away from the children "for at least the next several months." Tucker indicated that he and Burruss had been collaborating toward a resolution and expressed hope that this cooperative effort would continue. However, if an agreement could not be reached, Tucker plans to pursue primary physical custody, joint legal custody, and final decision-making authority. The filing emphasized that Burruss would still have substantial time and meaningful access to the children, acknowledging her as a loving and capable parent.

Prenuptial Agreement Under Scrutiny

During their 2014 Bravo wedding series, Tucker and Burruss frequently clashed over the prenup. Tucker admitted reluctance to sign, while Burruss insisted on it. In his latest filing, Tucker suggested he was pressured into signing and highlighted the absence of his legal counsel. His lawyers noted that the agreement was presented to him without prior notice or consultation, despite earlier communications between Burruss and Tuckers legal teams regarding a potential prenup.

Potential Alimony and Asset Division

Tuckers legal team questioned the enforceability of the prenup due to the circumstances surrounding its signing. They affirmed his willingness to resolve matters amicably but also requested a division of all marital assets, both tangible and intangible. In addition to seeking primary custody, Tucker may pursue alimony if the court finds the prenup unenforceable.

Burruss Announces Divorce After BravoCon 2025

Burruss announced her divorce from Tucker in November 2025, following the third BravoCon event in Las Vegas. She described entering a new chapter focused on personal growth. While receiving her Lifetime Achievement Award just days prior, she acknowledged Tuckers support throughout their marriage, stating, "You earned this award, too."

Public Reaction

Social media users have criticized Tuckers recent filing, accusing him of pursuing custody primarily for financial reasons. Many expressed that his actions reflect previous concerns about his intentions during the marriage. Clips from earlier seasons of "RHOA" and "Kandi's Wedding" have resurfaced, fueling public speculation on whether the marriage was ever built to last.
