While Dodd has not yet confirmed her plans for a custody arrangement for her daughter, Jolie, things between herself and her now-estranged husband could get heated if they end up in court.

On October 2, Radar Online shared a report in which it was revealed that Michael Dodd had allegedly attempted to battle his longtime partner for custody during a previous split from the reality star.

On September 27, Dodd, who first joined the Bravo reality show during its 11th season, told the press that she was officially done with her marriage to Michael. As she explained at the time, Dodd said, “We’ve had problems for years, and I’ve had enough.”

As fans may recall, Kelly Dodd first filed for divorce from Michael in 2012, but because their case was drawn out and they were unable to find a resolution, she ultimately decided to stay married.
