‘Sister Wives’ Brown family won’t seek money after polygamy decriminalization

The polygamous stars of the TV show "Sister Wives" are not seeking any money following a legal victory that decriminalized their lifestyle.

The Brown family — comprised of husband Kody and wives Robyn, Christine, Meri and Janelle — revealed in recently filed court documents that they will not seek "repayment of their moving costs, loss of contracts, or other expenses." The Browns sued in 2011 after Utah County prosecutors threatened to file criminal charges against them for living as polygamists.

In December, U.S. District Court Judge Clark Waddoups handed a victory to the Browns, ruling that Utah's law against cohabitation — which was the primary tool prosecutors could use against practicing polygamists — was unconstitutional.
