Kristin Cavallari is finally allowed to move forward with buying a new home after the court intervenes in her messy ongoing divorce from Jay Cutler

Kristin Cavallari is now able to move forward with buying a new and separate home after the court intervened when her estranged husband, Jay Cutler, initially refused to release the funds necessary for her to make the purchase during their divorce negotiations.

An insider close to the on-the-rocks couple told Us Weekly, , ‘The judge was able to order the release of the frozen assets so Kristin is going to be able to buy the house she wants to,’ referring to a home that Cavallari, 33, saw way back in the fall of last year when she began thinking about moving out and ending her marriage.

The Very Cavallari star reportedly signed a contract to buy a $5.5. million home in Franklin, Tennessee, on Monday, April 27th.

The inside source added, ‘Things have not improved between Kristin and Jay.’

Previously, the Common James designer and former NFL quarterback reached a temporary custody agreement with regard to their children, sons Camden, seven, Jaxon, six, and daughter Saylor, four, as reported by E! News.

While the children have remained in their Nashville, Tennessee, home, parents Kristin and Jay switch off every week to stay with them, with Cavallari staying at a friend on her off weeks.

Apparently, Kristin was hoping to work things out amicably and in private with Jay before even beginning divorce proceedings and surely before making the split public, and she was said to be ‘blindsided’ by his filing for divorce last month in which he is seeking primary custody of the children.

The plan now is that when the Laguna Beach alum finally moves into her new home, which she is hoping to close on within a month, the children will go back and forth between her new home and her former residence, where Cutler will remain.

According to court documents obtained by Us earlier this week, ‘things were so bad in the marriage’ that Cavallari had signed a contract for the new property back in November of 2019, but then walked back on the move as the pair ‘attempted to salvage the marriage’ at the time.

When that of course didn’t work, the couple decided to split on April 7th, the same day they returned from a Bahamas ‘quarantine vacation’ with their children.

But when Cavallari decided she still wanted to purchase the same house she had attempted to buy in the fall, Cutler allegedly tried ‘to intimidate’ her into agreeing to a parenting plan and custody arrangement before allowing funds to be unfrozen in order for her to move forward, court documents showed.

The embattled pair filed for divorce on April 24th.

‘With great sadness, after 10 years together we have come to a loving conclusion to get a divorce,’ their joint statement on Instagram two days later read.
