The legal battle between Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker is reportedly reaching a breaking point as the new year begins.
According to an emergency motion allegedly submitted on January 8, 2026, Kandi is claiming that she has been left to cover the entirety of the costs for their two minor children, Ace and Blaze. The reported filings suggest that the singer and entrepreneur is currently paying for everything from school tuition and medical bills to daily necessities, despite Todd allegedly having several income streams of his own. This alleged financial strain marks a significant shift from Kandi’s earlier public statements about maintaining a civil co-parenting relationship.
The reported court documents also take aim at Todd’s recent lifestyle choices and social media presence. Kandi alleges that while she has remained focused on her professional growth and family responsibilities, Todd has reportedly been taking multiple vacations overseas. Furthermore, the motion alleges that Todd’s “Daddy Daycare” persona on social media is a facade, claiming he has not been showing up for his scheduled parenting time. Kandi previously hinted at the emotional weight of the split, admitting to fans that she often puts on a smile while feeling “emotionally broken” behind the scenes.
Reports indicate that the friction between the two intensified during the recent Christmas holiday. Kandi allegedly claims that Todd interfered with her court-approved time with the children, which has reportedly prompted her to seek an official child support order and a more rigid, court-enforced schedule.
While these claims are currently just allegations within the legal filings and have not been ruled upon by a judge, they highlight a growing divide. Kandi recently noted on an Amazon Live session that the divorce process has definitely caused her to “look at people differently.”
Although the couple previously expressed hope for an amicable resolution, these new reports of alleged holiday interference and financial neglect suggest the negotiations have become increasingly contentious.
Kandi has made it clear that her current priority is her peace and the well-being of her kids, even as the details of her crumbling marriage play out in the public eye.
As of now, the court has not officially responded to the reported emergency motion, but the filing signals that the era of “good faith” discussions may be coming to a close.
