Todd Meadows' Ex Sought Custody Over Alcohol Claims

In May 2025, several months before his tragic passing, the ex-partner of 'Deadliest Catch' star Todd Meadows, Kennady Harvey, submitted a custody petition for their two children. Harvey sought primary custody and child support, requesting limitations on Meadows' visits due to alleged alcohol and substance abuse issues.

Harvey's filing specifically asked that Meadows abstain from drinking or using marijuana when with their children and that all his visits be supervised. According to court documents, this case experienced no further movement after Harvey lodged the initial petition. Meadows, 25, was reported by TMZ to have died on February 25 after falling overboard in the Bering Sea while working on the vessel Aleutian Lady during 'Deadliest Catch' production.
