Kendra Duggar Reveals Surprising News to Joseph in Prison Call Amid Case

Kendra Duggar informed Joseph Duggar during a jail call that she hired a lawyer separately for herself in their child welfare case in Arkansas. This case involves charges related to false imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child.

Legal Proceedings

On March 20, Kendra called Joseph shortly after her release from the Washington County Detention Facility. The couple, known from "Counting On," faces multiple misdemeanor counts. Additionally, Joseph is facing more severe charges related to child molestation.

Attorney Representation

During the call, Joseph asked if attorney Travis Story had contacted Kendra. She confirmed having retained him as her attorney alone, clarifying that Story will not represent both of them.

Connection to Past Family Legal Issues

The lawyer mentioned, Travis Story, previously worked with the Duggar family and represented Josh Duggar during his federal trial in 2021. Josh Duggar is currently serving a sentence for child pornography charges.

Kendra and Joseph are due in court on April 29 for their current charges. The allegations arose when authorities found suspicious locks in their home, where they live with their four children.

Joseph remains in custody at the Washington County Correctional Facility following his arrest on March 18 for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old girl.
