Accusations
In 2014 Michael and Kristine were accused of neglect by abandoning a child, and the couple was taken to custody. The couple pleaded not guilty on the account that the girl was an adult. They were both released on bail.
Shortly before the allegations, Kristine and Michael Barnett divorced. When the allegations were made against them, they were forced to return to the states, but they were no longer a family at that point.
