Todd Tucker filed new court documents on Friday, February 13, 2026, responding to claims made by his estranged wife, Kandi Burruss.
While Kandi Burruss recently accused him of "squatting" in her guest house, Todd Tucker asserts that he only moved into the secondary residence because she forced him out of their main home.
He alleges that Kandi Burruss directed family members to relocate his belongings without his consent or a court order while she was away working in New York.
Todd Tucker stated he did not fight the move at the time to maintain "peace and stability" for their family.
The legal filings also address Kandi Burruss’ claims that Todd Tucker has failed to contribute financially to their household or children's expenses.
Todd Tucker argues that the current financial arrangement was Kandi’s idea, claiming she told him she would handle all bills herself after they stopped using a joint bank account.
He accused the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum of "weaponizing" a situation she created to make him look neglectful.
Todd Tucker further criticized Kandi Burruss for her frequent absences due to her Broadway commitments, claiming she relies heavily on third-party caregivers.
The conflict has now shifted toward a fight for primary custody of their two children, Ace and Blaze.
Todd Tucker requested that a judge grant him temporary primary legal and physical custody, citing his role as the consistent parent present in Georgia.
This follows a change in Kandi Burruss’ legal strategy; after initially filing for joint custody in November 2025, she recently amended her request to seek sole custody.
Both parties now seem deeply entrenched in a dispute over who provides the more stable environment for the children.
Kandi Burruss has not yet issued a public statement regarding these latest accusations.
Furthermore the divorce proceedings continue to reveal a sharp decline in the relationship of the couple, who were married for over a decade.
As the legal battle moves forward in the Atlanta courts, the focus remains on the division of assets and the future of their co-parenting relationship.
The public remains divided as more details emerge about the private struggles behind their high-profile split.
