Kandi Burruss Claims Todd Tucker Didn’t Pay for Kids or Household Expenses

More details emerge in the divorce saga between “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burrus And Todd Tucker. In a new filing, the Grammy winner accused the independent contractor of failing to contribute financially to her and Burruss’ two minor children, leaving the responsibility squarely on his shoulders. According to legal documents, Burruss also accused Tucker of interfering with his custody period, prompting him to ask a judge to establish an official custody schedule.

In new documents, Burruss explained that his two minor children, Ace and Blaze, incur “significant monthly expenses” and accused Tucker of failing to pay for any of them.

The high costs cover “nanny, tuition, extracurricular activities, birthday parties, medical expenses, travel and daily needs,” according to Us every week.

Burruss accused Tucker of not paying a dime to meet the children’s needs, putting the burden directly on him.

Burruss went further in her complaint, claiming that Tucker failed to provide adequate support for their children, noting that he had repeatedly traveled outside the country for vacations.

The Bravo reality star said Tucker is an independent contractor who should be able to support his children. Despite this, Burruss said Tucker was not paying the mortgage and covering the family’s expenses.

Burruss also criticized Tucker’s numerous attacks Instagram Postswhich shows him spending time with his children, writing: “Tucker does not exercise parenting time with the minor children in any meaningful way despite the façade of his two to three minute social media videos chronicling his ‘Daddy Daycare’ on his social media platforms.”

Burruss accused Tucker, who also appeared on several seasons of “RHOA” and their spinoff, “Kandi & The Gang,” of deliberately interfering with his one-on-one time with their children.

“Specifically, during the recent Christmas holidays, [Tucker] tried to ban children from traveling to New York to visit [Burruss] even though she had already incurred travel expenses for the children and provided [Tucker] with significant notice of his intention to exercise his parenting time during the children’s designated vacation time,” Burruss’ attorney noted in the filing.

Ultimately, Burruss asked the court to establish a custody schedule for her and their children.

It’s no surprise that things are getting tense between Burruss and Tucker, since the Broadway star recently revealed that the intense debates caused her to see her soon-to-be ex-husband in a different light.

During a live stream, Burruss responded to a fan who asked if she and Tucker could be cool after their split.

“I hope. I hope we become friends,” she said, according to The explosion. “That would be my goal. But you know, when you go through a divorce, people get on your nerves and you really start to look at them differently.”

Burruss announced her divorce from Tucker in late 2025, sharing, “I am entering a new chapter dedicated to my work, my family and my own growth. I am grateful to everyone who has supported us over the years, and I ask for privacy, grace and understanding as we go through this transition with our family.”

The couple married in April 2014 in front of Bravo cameras and have since weathered rumors and chaos. “To Todd, thank you for surviving the blogs, the shade, the rumors, the lies, the truth, the almost fights, the actual fights, the reunions,” Burruss said during her Wifetime Achievement Award speech at BravoCon 2025. “You deserved this award too.”
