Yep, divorce would lose Lori and Chad their breadwinner spouses (both Tammy Daybell and Charles Vallow worked hard to pay all the bills and ensure neither Chad nor Lori had to work), plus half the marital property and assets.
But murdering them would not only wipe out the 50/50 division of marital assets in a divorce settlement and have each of them inherit the lot, they stood to get very wealthy indeed from each spouse's substantial life insurance policy.
Lori knew she was the sole, named beneficiary of Charles' $1 million insurance payout ('was' being the crucial word, as unbeknown to her he had secretly switched the recipient to his sister Kay Woodcock, so she wouldn't get a penny). And Chad kept adding to the premium on wife Tammy's policy in the months before her murder, meaning he received a staggering $430,000, which he collected within days of her death (he had an imminent beach wedding to pay for, after all).
They killed Lori's children JJ and Tylee to enjoy a hedonistic, child-free marriage, and to keep receiving monthly benefits cash for both kids. I guess with JJ's father Charles murdered, and Tylee's dad Joseph also conveniently deceased, they thought no one would notice the children's permanent absence.
I believe there was also an element of revenge on JJ's grandma Kay Woodcock, who had received the $1 million Lori was sure would be hers. Helped by brother Alex, she had killed Charles to get her hands on that cash, so in her warped mind she had earned it! Murdering Kay's beloved grandson JJ, rather than simply allowing her to take custody of him, was payback for the million dollars. But it seems Lori never banked on Kay and husband Larry contacting police when JJ's phone and FaceTime calls abruptly stopped, and they could no longer get hold of her.
How sad that no one initially noticed Tylee's absence or reported it. It was only through JJ's reported disappearance that police realised his 16 year old sister was also missing. I guess in time her brother Colby would have raised the alarm (he was suspicious that texts purporting to have been sent by her, did not use her typical writing style). It is chilling to contemplate how lonely and vulnerable both Tylee and JJ were, in the last sad weeks of their lives.
Tylee couldn't rely on her increasingly hostile and absent mother Lori, who was totally wrapped up in her married lover Chad Daybell (who unsurprisingly, Tylee loathed). She had not been able to maintain any friendships with kids her own age, thanks to her mother making her happiness a very low priority and constantly uprooting her from homes and schools. Her father Joseph died in mysterious circumstances in April 2018, and just over a year later her Uncle Alex murdered her loving stepfather Charles, who was her last potential protector.
JJ too was very isolated after his dad Charles' murder. Just 2 months after losing him forever, Lori had his big sister Tylee murdered. JJ's two closest relatives were taken from him without warning or explanation. Then a strange man called Chad Daybell, appeared out of nowhere as a new 'father figure' - one who hated and disciplined him. After learning JJ's grandma Kay received Charles' $1 million life insurance payout, money she had assumed would be hers, a vengeful Lori stopped JJ's contact with her and his grandpa Larry.
The two weeks between Tylee's murder and JJ's, must have been Hell for the little boy. Lori had long since stopped giving him the autism drugs that helped regulate his moods. And in yet another act of maternal betrayal, she got rid of his faithful service dog, Bailey, the Golden Doodle his dad Charles had got him as a best friend. Bailey immediately loved JJ and helped him to sleep through the night. Incredibly Lori tried to sell him to make herself a fast $2,500 dollars.
A worker from the charity that had originally provided Bailey, spotted the advertisement and recognised Lori's fulsome descriptions of the wonderful service dog. She was forced to surrender him back to the charity, and he is now the beloved dog of another autistic boy. Bailey's loss must have been yet another terrible blow for JJ. No wonder he was 'acting out', as the babysitter said in her evidence today. Thanks to his evil mother, Uncle Alex and Chad Daybell, JJ's whole world collapsed around him in the last weeks of his short life.
A few days before he was murdered, Lori belatedly told him his dad Charles was dead. Why tell him at all, when her plans to kill him too, were so close? The little boy was so devastated, he refused to believe it. His school teachers recalled he was inconsolable at the loss of his daddy. Charles was a wonderful father. Lori clearly hadn't given a moment's thought to the affect murdering Charles would have on his vulnerable little boy. But why would she? The child she had raised as her son from a baby, and who loved her as his mother, was clearly totally expendable in her eyes.
A mother who would sacrifice her children for a man and money, is no mother at all. Yes Lori was influenced by the evil, manipulative Chad Daybell, and he fully deserves the death/life sentence that's coming to him - ditto Alex Cox, who through death, cheated justice. But Lori was the mother of two of her victims. It's hard to imagine a more heinous, despicable betrayal.

Tylee was a smart girl, becoming a young woman. She saw right through that big fat fake Chad Daybell - unlike Lori, she wasn't taken in by his pseudo-prophet garbage. I'll bet she told her stupid, deluded mother exactly what she thought of him. And surprise, surprise, soon after, Chad branded her 'Dark' and a 'Zombie'. Chad Daybell is a narcissist who demands to be placed on a pedestal, he would not tolerate Tylee's disrespect.
Tylee's position was already vulnerable once Chad Daybell was on the scene, because she had seen and heard too much and had all the dirt on her mother's and his crimes. She saw what really happened to her stepfather Charles Vallow - he walked into that house unarmed and unsuspecting, to take son JJ to breakfast, and he was ambushed and shot dead by her Uncle Alex. It was murder - by a convicted felon who had done prison time for assaulting his sister's previous husband Joseph Ryan. The baseball bat/self defence story her mom and uncle coached her to tell police, was pure fiction.
Poor Tylee likely witnessed the whole murder. Charles had loved her like a daughter, and remained supportive of her after her mother's adulterous affair and toxic, deluded conduct went off the chart. Charles had purchased Tylee's jeep for her - the same jeep Alex used in the first attempted shooting murder of Tammy Daybell, and the failed attempt on Brandon Boudreaux's life, after both Charles and Tylee's violent deaths.
Charles was Tylee's last surviving protector, after her father Joseph Ryan's suspicious death just over a year earlier. With Charles dead, Tylee was pretty much alone, and desperately vulnerable. I think she knew it.
She had no one to turn to. Most girls of 16 can rely on their mom for support. Tylee could not - Lori only had eyes and ears for Chad Daybell. Tylee tried speaking to her grandpa in the last weeks of her life, but her pleas for a private talk went unheeded. I think she was frightened of the energy in her home - and she was right to be. Because the same vile energy that killed her stepdad Charles (and I suspect her father Joseph in 2018), would soon destroy her and JJ. Sweet Tylee must have been the loneliest girl in the world.

@imakeajiffypuff4525 The Vallow-Daybell case - and specifically the July 2019 murder of Charles Vallow - is extraordinary for many reasons, not least the bizarre inaction of the investigating police officers, which arguably allowed two child murders to be committed by the same suspects soon after.
I think there are strong grounds for a full and frank, independent public enquiry into the conduct of Chandler Police. WHY weren't Alex Cox and Lori Vallow arrested and charged with Charles Vallow's murder??? They weren't even detained that night, but were instead released to return to the crime scene, Lori's home, for a pool party. Neighbours reported it was loud - presumably the attendees were celebrating Lori's new status as a 'millionairess' (thankfully it never came to pass - Charles had secretly switched the beneficiary from Lori to his sister Kay, not trusting his estranged wife Lori to take financial care of his three sons).
Lori and Alex should not have been partying that night, they should have been locked up. And if they had been, Tylee, JJ and possibly Tammy Daybell too, would all be alive today.

@bbaciliere Yes, husband number 3 Joseph Ryan (Tylee's bio father), was found dead in his modest apartment April 3rd 2018. The coroner ruled natural causes/heart attack, but he was too decomposed when found, around one week after he died, to determine foul play. Lori had his body cremated as priority, before even telling his sister he had died.
Lori's brother Alex Cox (nicknamed 'the family hitman'), had previously served jail time for a vicious taser attack on Joseph in a parking lot, during a 2007 access visit to his daughter Tylee, then aged four (a meeting that Lori had to have given Alex the exact date, time and location of). Alex later told a friend he planned to bundle Joseph into the trunk of his car that day, drive him to a remote location and shoot him dead. Luckily for Joseph the taser failed to deploy correctly, and he was able to flee the scene and call police. I need hardly add little Tylee witnessed part of her Uncle Alex's violent assault on her dad, just as 12 years later she would witness Alex murder her stepdad.
Lori received a significant pay day from Joseph's death - and waddayano, just over a year later on July 11th 2019, she and her creepy brother murdered estranged husband number 4 Charles Vallow, during his access visit to adopted son JJ.
Again Lori expected a substantial cash windfall from his death, as the sole named beneficiary of his $1 million life insurance policy (a fact you might think police would have recognised as a clear financial motive for his murder - along with noticing Alex was a convicted felon, once jailed for a serious violent assault on her previous husband). But she would subsequently be enraged to learn Charles had secretly switched the beneficiary to his sister Kay, to ensure in the event of his death, his sons would be financially taken care of.
Lori didn't even gift his two adult sons the valuable watches he'd always promised to them (they believe she sold them), so Charles' suspicions about her keeping the $1 million insurance payout, were well founded. Too bad he didn't tell her she wouldn't become a millionairess on his death, and remove her motive for murdering him.
In 2020 police announced they were looking again at Joseph Ryan's 2018 death as a possible homicide. But their investigations came to nothing - no doubt hindered by the fact Lori had him cremated, a 'courtesy' she repeated for Charles Vallow, again neglecting to consult his family, most notably his sons, about their wishes.
There were so many points at which Lori Vallow, Alex Cox and Chad Daybell could and should have been stopped. Because of the shocking police inaction, particularly after Alex Cox shot an unarmed Charles Vallow dead in a blatantly premeditated ambush at Lori's home, the evil trio believed they were untouchable.
Emboldened, they escalated their crimes to two child murders within a fortnight of each other, and mere weeks after Tylee and JJ's murders, the homicide of Chad's wife Tammy, and the attempted murder of Brandon Boudreaux, the heavily insured, estranged husband of Lori's niece Melanie.
The three psychopaths were out of control. I believe Alex Cox's murder was Chad and Lori's final crime, believing with him dead they could exploit him as scapegoat and walk free for all their crimes. This pair of middle aged fantasists are so deluded, I bet to this day they can't believe they're residing not in married bliss in Hawaii, but in orange jumpsuits in prison cells.
