Kody Brown is making up in property what he’s lost in wives, but not without some pushback.
In a sneak peek of Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives, Meri Brown– from whom Kody has since “permanently terminated” his marriage– reveals how the Brown family’s Coyote Pass property has been divided amongst Kody and his wives, while questioning the fairness of the outcome.
As you may recall, the Browns purchased the 14-acre piece of land located in Flagstaff, Arizona, in 2018 for $820,000. At the time, the family planned to split the land into five parcels, where each wife would get her own plot and Kody would (naturally) get his own, too.
(This five-parcel plan came after Kody’s wives nixed his Polygamous Barbie Dream House proposal, in which his wives and their kids would all live together under one roof.)
While plans were discussed ad nauseam over the past few seasons of ‘Sister Wives,’ building on Coyote Pass never came to fruition. Ownership of the divided property also went on to shift after Christine Brown split from Kody in 2021, ultimately selling her portion of Coyote Pass to Kody and his (now) only-remaining wife, Robyn Brown, for $10. Kody explains on Sunday’s episode that the property was “given” to him by Christine in exchange for the value of her Flagstaff home, which allowed Christine to purchase a home in Utah, where she now resides.
According to OK Magazine, once Kody and Robyn took on Christine’s property, they were left holding eight shares of Coyote Pass, while Janelle Brown was left with four and Meri just two.
“This is just weird to me that [Kody and Robyn] get eight together, four and four,” Meri says on Sunday’s episode. “Janelle gets four and I get two.”
Meri’s concern regarding her shares of the property are expressed after Kody admits to viewers that his decision was influenced by his recent divorces.
“Because of things that have gone on in the family, I’m not going to give the lot to any wife,” he says.
On Sunday’s episode, Meri goes on to note the unfairness of the situation, arguing that she is entitled to more, due to the financial contribution she made to purchase the property.
“It seems he’s already made the decision and I don’t think that’s fair because regardless of the fact that he and I haven’t had a relationship for, you know, eight or 10 years, or however long it’s been, I’m still part of the family and I still financially put into it,” she says. “And so I deserve to have some of the property, and not just what he decides I’m worthy of.”
On Sunday’s episode, viewers will also get to hear Janelle’s take on the questionable property division, claiming she has asked Kody about it “several times.”
“I’m really not sure how come we’re not dividing this equally,” Janelle says. “He’s like, ‘Well, you’re going to still get your four acres.’ And I’m like, ‘Ok, but there’s 14 acres.
“I think it’s time that we have a real appraisal and decide what the value is and what’s fair to all four of us,” Janelle adds.
As The Ashley previously reported, the last two of the four parcels on Coyote Pass were paid off as of June 2, with Kody and (now former-wife) Janelle paying $170,000 for their joint plot and Robyn’s plot listed as “fully paid,” also at $170,000.
Despite the land now being paid off, Robyn and Kody reportedly do not have any plans to build on Coyote Pass at this time.

Can you imagine if they had built the large Kody Dream House?
Janelle & Meri
Sell,Sell,Sell
Make them have neighbors & not Robyn’s Kids.
I really wish they woukd demand a forensic accounting of their money and a land appraisal.
Who died and left Kody in charge? He doesn’t just get to decide who gets what portion of the land. It needs to be EQUALLY divided… Robyn didn’t pay a dime into that property so if anyone should get less it’s her.
I’m a little confused as to why Janelle and Meri don’t do a land appraisal for Kody pass. That way when Kody throws his man tantrums about HIS ownership of HIS land, they can force his hand or take him to court. I would love nothing more than these women to put on their big girl pants and take this sniveling man child to court and GET WHATS THEIRS. They are the ones who actually worked to pay for the land while Kody what, sold a couple of guns at a gun show once or twice? How can he have a real job when he has to be home every morning to take his favorite children to school?
Shame on both Kody and Robyn for forcing (or allowing) the other wives to finance their life while they do nothing to financially or emotionally support the other 17 children. For a man who expects traditional gender roles in his family, he certainly doesn’t seem to stand up like a man and provide all-around, traditional fatherhood for the offspring birthed by Christine, Janelle, or Meri. That’s just pathetic.
Plural marriage is for idiots. What did these stupid women think? If your playing house you have no protection.
Mary and Jenelle need to sell their parcels to a fellow with a huge dog kennel of sled dogs or maybe a nice fella that raises fighting cocks. Nothing that a couple hundred roosters, or a kennel of barking dogs can’t solve. Enjoy Cockpass Kodi!
I can’t imagine Jenelle, Christine, and Meri had to work multiple jobs to pay off Robin’s debt, while she stayed at home with a Nanny and Kody helping her with the kids. And she is living in a million-dollar house with multiple assets in her name.
Yet the women who actually worked for the money are all getting screwed.
Christine was up early making breakfast and homeschooling ALL the kids, then at night would work. Jenelle worked full-time would leave before the kids were up and Logan was getting up to feed her kids. Meri worked full-time.
And Sobyn Robin just took from this family, never giving.
Breaks my heart. I wish Meri didn’t divorce Kody when she did, so she can take him to the cleaners now.
Good reason to sign legal documents. Let him divorce you without having legal ends tied up.
Let your man sleep with 3 other women while you sit home whining about not getting enough attention.
Tie your finances to 3 other women without having a contract about finances, These women hold some accountability for their choices. That being said, I hope they lawyer up and take every cent they are entitled too. He is a ruthless pig. I hate him, and hope he winds up alone.
But first I need him to take on more skinny younger & no stretch marks wives so Robyn knows how it feels.
Kody and Robyn owe Janelle a lot of money cause she borrowed them money to buy Brownton Abbey. Didn’t Mery help them too?
Maybe Meri and Janelle should get all of Kodyote pass and a signed payment plan to pay them back what Kody owes them
Brownton Abbey 💀
THEYRE NEVER WERE ANY LEGAL DIVORCES BECAUSE PLURAL MARRIAGE IS NO MORE LEGAL IN UTAH OR THE MORMON SECT THAN IT IS ANYWHERE ELSE IT IS LEFT TO CONTINUE AS THE MORMON CHURCH IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL AND MOST OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PEOPLE ARE ALSO POLYGAMISTS.I CANNOT FEEL SORRY FOR THESE WOMEN AS THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE GETTING INTO. ALSO KODY IS A TYPICALMALE POLYGAMIST HE THINKS HE IS GOD AND RULER OF ALL THESE WOMEN AND HES ALSO RUDE ARROGSNT AND OBNOXIOUS. SAME GOES ROBYN WHO GETS TO HAVE HER CAKE AND EAT IT TOO. JUST TURN ON THE TEARS ROBYN AND KODY WILL BE THERE TO COMFORT YOU I FIND THE WHOLE SITUATION SICKENING
She will let him bulldoze her with this!
I hope she fights him tooth and nail for what she’s entitled to.
