Kendra Duggar Manages Joseph’s Business Amid His Jail Time Transition
Kendra Duggar has taken on significant responsibilities managing her husband Joseph Duggar’s business while he faces legal troubles. Joseph, who has been charged with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious behavior, spent two weeks in custody. During this time, he provided her guidance on property management through phone calls.
Kendra’s New Role Amid Joseph’s Legal Issues
Joseph owns multiple rental properties in Arkansas, and Kendra is now overseeing operations. With the aid of Joseph’s brothers—John-David, Jedidiah, and Jeremiah—she has navigated the demands of the business. This transition began shortly after Joseph’s arrest when he empowered Kendra with a power of attorney.
Joseph’s Guidance from Jail
Throughout his incarceration, Joseph communicated with Kendra about various operational tasks. He advised her on vendor payments, property listings, and decisions regarding renovations on specific properties. Kendra reported back during their discussions, confirming she had already handled many of the tasks.
- Key Responsibilities:
- Managing payment processes for rental properties.
- Overseeing the renovation of properties.
- Ensuring compliance with listings on multiple platforms.
On a March 25 call, Joseph reassured Kendra, expressing confidence in her decision-making abilities. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the rental income to support their family financially.
Challenges Ahead for the Duggar Family
Joseph’s bond was set at $600,000, allowing him to return home to Arkansas. He faces serious charges, including potential life imprisonment if convicted of specific counts related to lewd and lascivious behavior involving minors. As the family confronts these daunting prospects, they are also discussing contingency plans, including the possibility of selling some properties.
Kendra’s ability to manage the business will be crucial as the couple navigates these uncertain times. With her proactive management and support from family members, they aim to sustain their livelihoods amidst challenges.
The next court hearing is scheduled for May, where Joseph will formally face his charges. The Duggar family’s situation highlights the complexity of balancing personal and professional responsibilities during times of crisis.
