[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They did not need to flee Utah...the police weren't after them because of being pligs...could be because of welfare fraud... Kody mentioned in one of the episodes that he always wanted to live in Vegas.  Robyn's dad / family is there but no church of their religion...So they freaked out the kids and moved in the middle of the night from Utah to Vegas  only because Kody wanted out...good drama for the show,  assuring another season.[/quote]

Actually, they did have to leave.  Read the wikipedia piece below.  As I understand it, the show's creators went to the Utah Attorney General and the U.S. Federal District Attorney and said "do you have a problem with this if we do a show?".  They said no, citing lack of resources.  What the producer failed to do (or failed to do on purpose to create drama) was to check with local law reinforcement.  Immediately after the show aired, in response to calls, the local Lehigh police came a'knockin because they had a bigamy statute.  And that statute said that bigamy could be proven simply by "cohabitation".  So suddenly the group house disappears and the women move into four rentals in Utah.  Then, undisclosed to the viewers, the producers work up Kody to agree to file a first amendment case in the U.S. Federal district court in Utah, using local D.C. law professor (ugh) Jonathan Turley.  That case was going forward which gave the gals a reprieve in their rentals to start the search and ultimate buying of land and building of houses.  Last I knew, the federal court was going to decide whether or not to take the case or through it out as meritless (and these judges, both state and fed, and law officials do not want to mess with polygamy; it never comes out well - remember that raid at the J. Compound in Texas.  So Kody has dreams of recovery and punitive dollars in his eyes.  I don't know what the status is of that suit.  Meanwhile, if the family wanted to live together in a compound, they had to move because the Lehigh police were not going to allow cohabitation.  Which is why they are all now in Las Vegas.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_wives

What I want to know who is funding all of this?  The jewelry business went kaput (the old website is no longer operating).  The real estate career never got off the ground.  No one is working a real job.  Kody is doing his marketing of health juices, but that's it.  How were they to afford those homes?  Especially since many of the, especially the youngest, had bad credit reports.  And Meri's house was the last to clear escrow.  Why?  She is the only one legally married to Kody?  Hers should have gone thru first as the spouse to a married man presumably making lots of money on a pyramid scheme.  Were the houses built on spec?  Was TLC supporting the purchases, and, if so, are they going to leave town when they get tired of the Browns and leave them with four large mortgages.  And did the other "wives" have to move first so as to satisfy some Las Vegas law about a man moving and bringing his wives after him (like what happened in Texas).  If he showed up last, does that make a difference?  I don't know.[/quote]
