Duggar News: Duggar Family Sisters Seek Money for a ‘Life Care Plan’ Involving ‘Therapeutic Intervention’ in April 2022 Court Case

]

Josh Duggar’s trial dominated the recent Duggar news through November and December 2021. Now, it’s the Duggar family sisters who are taking over the headlines. Several of the sisters filed a lawsuit after the media published private records from 2015. And sources now claim the sisters want “therapeutic intervention” and a “life care plan” for what occurred.

Josh Duggar’s trial brought Duggar news to the forefront of the media in 2021. Prior to 2021, Josh made the news in 2015. In 2015, the media caught wind that Josh went to the police in the early 2000s over allegedly molesting a number of young girls, a few of whom were his sisters. The media then leaked the report. The Duggar sisters directly affected later spoke publicly about this.

Now, the sisters want justice for the leak. According to The Sun, in 2017, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, and Joy-Anna Duggar sued the city of Springdale. They also sued the owner of In Touch magazine and others involved in the scandal. The sisters claimed the release of the records caused them “extreme mental anguish and emotional distress.”

The trial for the case will begin in April 2022.

Recent Duggar news gives more information about the lawsuit. According to The Sun, the attorney for the Duggar sisters told the judge the sisters would not “seek any damages for lost wages, lost past earnings, or lost future earnings.” Instead, the attorney wants to fight for the sisters to have a “life care plan” that can cover the costs of “therapeutic intervention.”

“We want a life care plan involving the cost of therapeutic intervention in these four women’s lives over a period of time to address the emotional issues that are arisen from this nationwide disclosure since they’re public figures,” the attorney told the judge.

It seems Josh Duggar’s trial may impact the Duggar sisters’ case, too. “If there is a trial, the damages could be cut as a consequence of Josh’s conviction,” an insider explained to The Sun.

Where is Josh Duggar now?

With everything going on with the Duggar family sisters, where is Josh Duggar now? After Josh’s trial and guilty verdict, he went directly to the Washington County jail to stay in solitary confinement. He will remain there until sentencing.

Josh can take video calls from family. But he cannot see them in person due to current coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions, The Sun reports.

After the trial, probation officials create a pre-sentence report. This takes between 30 and 45 days, People reports. “Then each side will have two weeks to study the report and to make objections,” Clay Fowlkes, acting United States attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, told the publication. “Then, after that report is issued, studied, all the objections are filed, that’s when we’ll really start thinking about what our sentencing recommendation to the court is going to be.”

The same judge who presided over Josh’s trial will issue the sentence.

Josh Duggar: Was Anna Duggar’s Family Shocked by Josh’s 2008 Proposal?

]

Josh Duggar and Anna Duggar’s marriage is certainly in a weird place. The troubled former reality TV star will likely spend the next several years behind bars, and his wife of 13 years will need to figure out how to raise their seven children largely unassisted. The couple’s marriage always struck some Duggar family followers as strange, though. In fact, some critics think the Anna Duggar and the Keller family had no idea Josh was planning to propose back in 2008.

There is evidence to suggest Josh and Anna Duggar did not have a courtship.

While Josh and Anna have been married for more than a decade at this point, Duggar family followers still feel uneasy about the union. There is good reason, too. There is a fair bit of circumstantial evidence to suggest an actual marriage proposal was not supposed to be a part of Josh’s trip to Florida back in 2008.

In a 19 Kids and Counting episode covering Josh and Anna’s engagement, Michelle Duggar clearly stated that Anna had agreed not to court until she turned 20. Josh proposed marriage on Anna’s 20th birthday, and she accepted. While it was never specifically stated, Duggar family critics have inferred that Josh and Anna did not have a courtship. They skipped courting entirely and began planning a wedding.

The couple’s engagement was not a long one, either. They became engaged at the end of June 2008. They got married in September 2008. The couple also appeared to spend limited time together in the months leading up to their marriage.

Did the Kellers know Josh Duggar was planning to propose?

The short engagement isn’t the strangest thing about Josh and Anna’s relationship timeline. In fact, that’s the most normal thing about their process. At least when compared to other couples in their social circle. The lack of a courtship however is strange. The missing courtship and Michelle’s words led some family followers to question whether Anna’s mother and father were even aware an actual proposal was happening when they helped Josh set up his big surprise.

Duggar family critics argue that Mike Keller seemed to use the term “courtship” multiple times during scenes from before the actual proposal. He said that Anna didn’t know if Josh had any interest in her even just a few months before the surprise proposal. While the Keller family has never said it, Duggar family critics believe the Keller family thought Josh was flying in to propose a courtship, not a marriage.

Duggar family followers believe TLC cameras caught an awkward moment on film

Josh and Anna’s engagement felt forced and awkward when TLC originally aired the footage. Most viewers chalked that up to the couple’s excitement and inexperience. Family critics have never been sure about that. In recent years, Reddit users have gone back over the footage. With the help of hindsight, critics have begun to read into Anna’s body language. Anna appeared surprised and a bit uncomfortable about Josh’s sudden appearance. Initially, the Duggar family wrote off Anna’s shock as a woman who was just surprised to see her boyfriend.

Fans are now theorizing that Anna was shocked to see Josh because she didn’t know him all that well. They think she had no idea he was even interested in her at the time. We’ll likely never know whether that theory holds water. Anna is unlikely to go against her husband. Josh, along with his parents, has a pretty good reason to stick to the original story. What Anna chooses to do moving forward remains of interest, though. The mother of seven has gone largely underground since Josh’s guilty verdict in December 2021. While there are rumors that she is considering leaving the marriage, she hasn’t made any public moves yet.

Jana Duggar and twin brother John David SNUBBED by family on 32nd birthday as no one celebrates their big day

DUGGAR twins Jana and John David were majorly snubbed by their family for their 32nd birthdays on Wednesday.

Weeks after Josh Duggar was found guilty of child pornography charges, the rest of the family has been spending less time online, and Jana and John David felt the effects of that.

Despite having a large family, no one reached out to celebrate with Jana or John David online.

The duo, who are both active on Instagram, didn’t have any birthday tributes from their family or friends to reshare on their own pages.

While members of the Duggar family have been posting less in the wake of Josh’s guilty verdict, many have still been sharing family updates or holiday celebrations – like Christmas and New Year’s.

The twins were snubbed by their Counting On siblings and parents as their 32nd birthday was not one of the holidays anyone decided to commemorate with a social media post.

A few days before her birthday, Jana shared that she got spend some time out and about with her mom Michelle and some of her sisters.

She posted some shots from their “lunch and shopping” outing, with everyone smiling for the camera at the restaurant before posing inside one of the stores they visited.

Just before turning 32, Jana shared a cryptic post about being “bitter," as she remains the only adult Duggar daughter who is single and living at home.

Though the eldest girl of the family, she currently resides at her family’s Arkansas compound and is “forbidden” to move out until she gets married.

Jana posted the message on social media, which included what appeared to be a photo of the star on the beach with her back facing the camera.

The post circulated onto Reddit where users sympathized with the TV star, believing the quote was directed towards her relationship status.

Jana has famously not yet wed - a rarity in fundamental Baptist circles as her other adult siblings are frequently making marriage and baby announcements.

One person commented: “She’s 32 in a few days and shares a bedroom with 4 preteens and teenagers whose diapers she once changed”

While another replied: “I just can’t imagine. It is slightly impressive that she’s still functioning at all.”

Last January, a source exclusively told The Sun that Jana was desperate to get married as she’s forbidden from moving out of her family’s home until she finds a husband.

The source elaborated saying: “Jana is very independent and more alpha compared to her sisters, but she can’t get a place of her own until she meets someone her family approves of.

“The Duggars are so religious, they wouldn’t agree with her moving out and living alone, or living with a friend or boyfriend, it’s frowned upon, it’s ridiculous but it’s how it’s always been.

“She wants to fly the nest, but it’s hard as she has to find the right guy, which is a goal for all of the girls, and she hates being the last single sister.

“Jana likes doing things on her own and enjoys DIY, she’s not the type who needs looking after in any way, but she’s really ready to move out and live her own life.”

Meanwhile, her twin brother has been married for a few years now.

He and wife Abbie Burnett got hitched in 2018 and welcome their daughter, Grace, a couple of years later.

The trio recently shared a few adorable family photos of them celebrating Christmas.

In one snapshot, they smiled as they stood outside under a whole walkway of Christmas lights and decorations.

Another shot saw just John David and Abbie huddled together under the lights for a sweet couple snap.

While many of her posts are positive, she’s not afraid to document her real-life ups and downs. From sharing raw posts about breastfeeding to revealing her family spent Christmas in quarantine, she’s covered it all.

Now, Amy has another post about mom life.

Amy King reveals the odd place she chose to eat.

In a new Instagram story, Amy revealed how she was able to eat dinner while still caring for her two-year-old son, Daxton. In the new snap, Amy is enjoying a pasta dinner while Daxton plays in the shower.

She writes, “When little man is having fun in the shower but you gotta eat!” Then, she adds, “#MomLife.”

She recently posted on Instagram and shared with fans that she sets up an “indoor splash pad” for her son.

Duggar fans share their thoughts.

On Facebook, the photo of Amy eating dinner in the bathroom was reposted. Fans have mixed feelings about her decision to eat in the bathroom. Some think it’s pretty gross. One writes, “Yuck! She can’t be so hungry that she can’t wait half an hour!”

Another adds, “That is one of my biggest phobias is eating or people eating in the bathroom ” Someone else shares how they would have handled the situation instead, writing, “yeah, I’d have to set up camp in the hallway and leave the door cracked.”

However, others point out that a mom has to do things like this sometimes to get everything done. Plenty of other moms admit to doing similar things in the past. Someone writes, “I know it’s kinda weird that she is eating in the bathroom but at least she is watching her own child..”
