Todd Tucker is seeking primary custody of his children with estranged wife Kandi Burruss and is also raising concerns about their prenuptial agreement.

On Wednesday, November 26, Tucker filed a response to the divorce petition that Burruss filed. He said their two children are currently in his care and residing with him in Georgia, while Burruss, 49, handles “out-of-state work obligations.”

The exes share a son Ace, born in 2016, and a daughter Blaze, born in 2019.

Tucker, 52, noted Burruss’ work obligations, “will continue to require her to be away from the children for at least the next several months,” as he pleaded for primary custody.

His filing noted, “The parties have been working cooperatively in an effort to resolve all issues, and [Tucker] remains committed to continuing those discussions in good faith.”

Tucker said that, “in the hopefully unlikely event” that they are unable to reach a custody deal, he will be seeking primary physical custody, joint legal custody and final decision-making authority.”

He proposed, “[Burruss] having substantial time and meaningful access to the children.” Tucker’s lawyer praised Burruss as a mother. His filing noted, “[Tucker] wishes to make clear that he recognizes [Burruss] as a loving and capable parent and remains sincerely hopeful that prior and continued discussions between the parties will bring full resolution of all matters.”

Tucker admitted that he signed a prenuptial agreement before getting hitched on April 4, 2014, but suggested he was pressured into signing it without his lawyers around.

However, Tucker’s lawyers said the agreement “was presented to [Tucker], without [Tucker] having counsel, even though [Burruss’] then counsel had communicated previously with [Tucker’s team] regarding a potential prenuptial agreement.”

“Despite that knowledge, [Burruss’] counsel presented the final agreement to [Tucker] for signature immediately before the wedding ceremony, without any notice to or consultation with [Tucker’s team], who had been significantly engaged in the negotiation process,” Tucker’s filing alleged. “These circumstances raise substantial questions concerning the enforceability of said document. Nevertheless, [Tucker] remains committed to working in good faith to resolve this matter amicably and privately to the extent possible.”

Tucker’s counterclaim for divorce also demanded a “division of all marital assets, both real and personal, tangible and intangible, between the parties.”

Tucker demanded primary physical custody, joint legal custody and potentially alimony if the prenuptial agreement is found to be unenforceable.

Us obtained the divorce petition filed by Burruss on November 21. She listed the date of marriage as April 2014 and the date of separation as July 15, 2025.

Burruss said the marriage was “irretrievably broken” with “no reasonable hope for reconciliation.”

In her filing, Burruss proposed joint custody of the children, claiming it would be in their best interest.

In addition, the RHOA alum said a prenuptial agreement was signed by both parties before they walked down the aisle, and she wanted it enforced.

In regard to debt, Burruss said, “Parties possess debts that have been incurred throughout the duration of the marriage, which should be subject to equitable division directed by the Prenuptial Agreement.”

She asked the court to determine the amount of any child support award.

Burruss announced the split to Tucker after 11 years via a statement to People on November 21.

She said, “After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce. This is a difficult and emotional time, but my focus remains on protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be, and co-parenting with love and respect.”

Burruss added, “I’m stepping into a new chapter pouring into my work, my family, and my own growth. I’m grateful to everyone who supported us throughout the years, and I ask for privacy, grace, and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family.”

In a separate interview, Burruss said the split had been “brewing” for a while.

This entire situation is confusing. One day Kandi is announcing she's filing for divorce from Todd. Then 24 hours later they're reuniting for Blaze's birthday. Understandable, because as parents the adult thing would be cordial to one another.

Then they're spending Thanksgiving together, and clarified in her IG comments to fans that Tucker — from whom she filed for divorce last week — was present for the family’s holiday meal despite not being in a photo she posted.

Now Todd wants primary custody because he's saying that Kandi is the clear breadwinner in the family. I'm not mad at him for pulling this move, because women do it to men all the time.

I wonder if Kandi including Todd in some of her business endeavors is similar to Wendy Williams giving her no-good ex husband a job as her manager?

You know how some of these powerful women do -- Include the husband, and keep him happy and busy, especially when you're trying to prove to your disapproving mother that your man isn't a mooch taking advantage of her daughter because she's famous.

I could have also sworn the point of a prenup is that once you sign it you have to honor what's in the contract. So good luck on trying to get the judge to give you what you're asking for.
