Barry demands that he “should be awarded temporary and permanent custody” of the girls…the reality star “is in need of and entitled to temporary and permanent child support for the care and maintenance” of his daughters…he’s also asking for an “equitable division of marital property” and their marital debt to be split between the two parties.

I’m really not a huge fan of the show, but from what I have watched Barry deserves custody. She left the kids to start a new life on her own. Barry has gone up & above to be a great dad.
Barry is the more stable parent and the girls need a real home not a campout life.
I have watched the show and Kim is not a fit parent for those girls. She did the older children no favors with her version of homeschooling. They never graduated and were not ready for adult hood. Kim meddled in all their lives but especially Ethans and ruined his marriage. She is vindictive and a control freak. Living on a boat with no room at all for personal space is not healthy for those young ladies. Living with their Dad is where they should be. Kim is selfish and only things of Kim. Barry has turned around and the children all seem to want to be with him. The girls should be enrolled in school so they can have a fair shot going into their adult lives. Kim preached no dating, no sex, no drinking, no drugs and kept them prisoners in their home. All the while she did everything she told them not too. Especially having an affair and the drunk driving incidents. Poor kids.
