where are kouri richins children

Kouri Richins’ three sons are not with her; she is in jail awaiting trial, and the boys are living with family on their late father Eric Richins’ side, believed to be under the care of one of his sisters.

Quick Scoop: Where Are Kouri Richins’ Children?

Public reporting indicates that Kouri and Eric’s three boys — often identified as Carter, Ashton, and Weston — are being raised by relatives from Eric’s family.

According to an article summarizing the situation, Eric’s obituary listed his father and two sisters (Katie Benson and Amy Richins), and it’s widely reported that one of these aunts has stepped in as the boys’ primary caregiver.

In short: The children are with paternal family members, not with Kouri, while the criminal case plays out.

What We Know About Their Living Situation

• Kouri is currently jailed and facing murder charges in Utah in connection with the 2022 fentanyl poisoning death of her husband, Eric.

• After Eric’s death, she wrote and published a children’s grief book meant to help her three sons cope with losing their father.

• Because she has been incarcerated since her arrest, she is not caring for the children day to day.

• Reports say the boys are living with one of Eric’s sisters, consistent with what was described in his obituary and later coverage.

There is no credible public reporting that the boys are with Kouri’s parents, and some coverage suggests the court would likely look skeptically at placing them with her mother, given past concerns reported in old case records.

Why Exact Details Are Limited

For privacy and safety reasons, courts and media generally avoid publishing the precise location or school or daily routine of minors in a high‑profile criminal case.

So while we have a clear picture that they are in the custody of a paternal aunt (or a closely related guardian on Eric’s side), more specific, day‑to‑day details about “where” they are living are not publicly disclosed — and likely will not be, to protect the children.
