In the upcoming Season 19 of “Sister Wives,” the illusion of financial

independence that Cody Brown has perpetuated within his polygamous

family begins to unravel, particularly for Meri and Janelle. Over the

years, the Browns have claimed that any wife could leave the marriage if they were unhappy, with Cody promising financial support for those who wanted out.

However, this narrative is exposed as a lie when Janelle considers lawyering up to secure her share of the family’s assets. Despite Cody’s efforts to convince Janelle that they could still work things out, it’s clear his motives are purely financial. He and his fourth wife, Robyn, are desperate to avoid paying Janelle her rightful share, especially since they’ve lost the income streams from the other three wives who have already left. Cody’s strategy to keep Janelle on the hook with empty promises is failing, and she sees through his attempts to manipulate her into staying. As Janelle and Meri navigate their financial entanglements with Cody, the true extent of their entrapment becomes apparent. Cody, who has consistently done the bare minimum to maintain his marriages, now finds himself at a crossroads, as Janelle refuses to be swindled any longer. The season promises to delve into the complexities of uncoupling in a polygamous relationship, with significant focus on the division of assets like Coyote Pass. As the wives push for their financial independence, viewers will witness the unraveling of Cody’s control over the family.
