Christopher and Melissa were also involved with Boston Common Press LP which produces the public television program, America’s Test Kitchen. 

The company was established by  Christopher Kimball along with Eliot Wadsworth, II in the year 1980. The firm is located in Brookline, MA.

What was the reason behind Christopher and Adrienne’s divorce?

Christopher married Adrienne Kimball in 1987 and separated from her in 2010 but finalized the divorce only in December 2012. Kimball and Adrienne have four children together: Charles, Caroline, Whitney, and Emily.

Christopher’s ex-wife, Adrienne claims Christopher has violated the terms of their divorce agreement by leaving the company all of a sudden. Adrienne has an 8 percent ownership stake in America’s Test Kitchen.  Christopher apparently refused to reach his limit of the bargain which calls for him to contribute 50 percent of tuition as well as medical costs for their children.

Adrienne also has alleged that Christopher is not paying adequate support for their three kids.  In a lawsuit filed on 12 January in the Suffolk Probate and Family Court, Adrienne reportedly said her ex-husband Christopher owes her more than $112, 000.

 Adrienne is pledged 35 percent of his gross income and overall compensation, per the ex-couple 2012 divorce agreement.
