HGTV star Christina Hall’s husband fires back at bid to stop her from selling Tennessee home

Christina Hall’s estranged husband, Josh Hall, has taken his grievances to court and is trying to stop his estranged wife from selling their Tennessee home.

In court documents obtained by People, Josh filed a motion on October 9 asking the court to “prevent or postpone the sale of the property.” On October 4, Christina listed the home for sale for $4.5 million. Josh has been living in the home since they split in July.

Before listing the home, Christina entered into a temporary legal agreement with Josh, allowing her to continue living there, People reports. According to the agreement, Christina gave Josh permission to enter the house as long as it was not rented.

The home served as the backdrop for the HGTV show “Christina in the Country.” People reported that Christina is the sole owner of the house and bought the property before she met her estranged husband.
