Kellie Pickler's In-Laws Seek Contempt Finding Over Estate Dispute

Kellie Pickler is embroiled in a legal battle with her former in-laws, Reed and Sharon Jacobs, over the estate of her late husband, Kyle Jacobs, who died in February 2023. The Jacobs have filed a petition for civil contempt, alleging that Pickler has failed to comply with a subpoena demanding the return of several items belonging to Kyle, including firearms and personal belongings. In response, Pickler has requested that the court postpone the contempt trial scheduled for March 20, arguing that there is no legal basis for the contempt petition against her. Her attorney claims that the court has not enforced the subpoena, and disputes remain over the rightful possession of the items. The case has intensified since the Jacobs assert that Pickler has admitted to withholding estate property. A hearing to address these issues is set for March 20, 2024.
