Kate Gosselin's Lawyer: Jon Can't Stop Reality Show

A lawyer for Kate Gosselin says her estranged husband Jon won't have much luck halting production of the TLC show, Kate Plus 8.

"These parties entered into an agreement once the divorce action was filed that allowed each parent - who had physical custody of the children - to make the filming decisions when the children were with them," lawyer Mark Momjian said on the Today show Friday.

"When the children are with Kate, Jon agreed that Kate would make the filming decisions involving the kids," he added.

He said that Kate "really does want to engage Jon, it's just that he's not engaging her back. And that's really regrettable in any custody case."

Momjian also slammed Jon's claims on Larry King Live Thursday that an "epiphany" led him to want to end the story.

Said Momjian, "This is less about a change of heart and more about a change of strategy on Jon's part."

Momjian said Jon could have announced he didn't want his kids to be on the show "a year ago, but he didn't."

"His active participation and encouragement of the show involved all the children and a decision by both parents to include the children and continue production," he said.

Jon's lawyer, Mark Heller, told Larry King Thursday that show will be scrapped because no judge would ever "subject the children to the show if the father believes it's detrimental."

In a statement to Usmagazine.com, Heller says: "Jon wants to thank everyone who is supporting his decision as a father and realizes that the environment for his children to be filming while he is going through a divorce with his wife understands that he does not that is the best set of circumstances for him to be under. He doesn't want the kids on the show because he is going through a divorce with his wife and he doesn't feel its a suitable environment mentally and emotionally for them right now."

But Kate's lawyer, Momjian, said on the Today show the eight children -- 5-year-old sextuplets Hannah, Leah, Alexis, Joel, Aaden and Collin and 8-year-old twins, Cara and Mady -- "are loved by both of their parents. Jon admits that his wife is a wonderful parent, they live in their family home. Kate is their primary caretaker. They've reached agreements about custody."

Kate "is going to honor her contract," Momjian said. "She'd like to continue with the show. She loves doing the show."

1:31PM. I think you are right. Jon is probably bipolar given his recent exploits and erratic behavior. Didn't remember that the excessive spending sprees and manipulating behavior were also part of the illness, too. Jon may need to get evaluated and medicated. The sooner this is done the sooner things may become more stable for the family.

Well lets see*****A choice between**** Jon the Fat ass little pr*cked, terrible lover, stupid , immature moron. Or Steve the tall, handsome, real man. hmmmmm. I know nothing is going on with him, but I would jump steves bones if he wasn't married. He is a very handsome man. And I know exactly what those two are going through, I used to travel with a good looking male co worker and some insinuated their was something going on, When there never was. We both enjoyed each others company and respected each other. Some people can not comprehend a friendly male and female working relationship.

I think TLC hired the bodyguard to protect Kate from Jon. His behaivor was getting so bad that they were afraid for her. They knew that Jon had mental issues. They sure made sure she got a good one. He seems very dedicated to his job and he has a lot to back him with all that he has done. Good for you TLC.

That's with a GUN. sorry

October 02, 2009 - 3:56pm Anonymous Says: Jon finally got his head out of his ass and did something right.Kate is just a greedy slut who only cares about the money. I don't know of any struggling single moms that have nannies taking care of their kids for them. My question is why is Steve always with Kate? If I was in that situation I would want the bodyguard taking care of my children, not me. They wanted that many kids, they should work to support them. Why people want to see these people on tv I don't know. They don't do any different than anybody else, except get freebies. And no, I don't envy them. I think you learn to appreciate things when you've earned them. ***************In answer to your question about Steve being around all the time. He is one crack Shot GUN and if anyone bothers Kate he will take care of business.

October 02, 2009 - 3:44pm Anonymous Says: I hate to break the news to you but Jon did say that at the end of the season that he is an idiot and a fool. His actions now are horrible but Kate is a saint. He made sure that Kate's parents or siblings have nothing to do with her? He has alienated everyone in her family so they don't have anything to do with her. Jon has stated that chose Trashy women before his kids and his family. What kind of person would not let their spouse see her family? The fact that Kate doesn't have a relationship with her family Is all his fault that says alot about Jon.

October 02, 2009 - 2:12pm Boycott TLC Says: Kate it for you but i like watching Kate and the kids. She is a good mother and she loves those kids. She is setting a good example for then not like their dad who is setting a very bad example. There is no telling what he is telling these kids. I have heard them say thing that I know he told them and probably told them to say on camera. He is using those kids against Kate. One day those kids will grow up and look back and realize what he did. They will hate him for it too. kate being on with these kids is no different than one of the other reality shows with their kids. Suppose they get divorced they have to live too and I am sure they would film with just one parent if they had too. . It cost a lot to raise one child let alone 8.

Only the attorneys will benefit. I do not know how this continuous, self-serving exposure of the children be good for them. Kate get a job! Jon, start supporting your children! Right now, it is the childred who bring in the dough.

what is Jodi and Julie to say what is best for these kids. Jodi said herself that she can't look after her kids (4) like Kate did hers (8). Kevin is just going along with Jodi because he is married to her and has to live with her. Who is Julie and how is she in the picture? Is she another gf of Jons? He has so many it's hard to keep up. Kate has only one brother. LOL LOL All Jon want's is some money so he doesn't have to work. Kate will never see any child support from this idiot. He just uses the kids for his purposes.

October 02, 2009 - 1:33pm Anonymous Says: You say it all and I believe that is just what is going to happen. There is no way that Kate has to support Jon if she get custody of the kids. Jon is out of luck if he looses the kids. He will be on his own. That's wat he wants any way so what is he barffing about. He just wants a few more minutes of fame and a pitty party.
