s late husband Kyle Jacobs’ parents demanded the American Idol alum be found in contempt for allegedly refusing to comply with a subpoena, In Touch can exclusively report.

and Sharon Jacobs, Kellie’s former in-laws and the administrators of Kyle’s estate, filed a petition for civil contempt, obtained by In Touch, on February 27.

The petition claims the subpoena demanding Kellie, 38, turn over property owned by Kyle was served on April 29, 2024.

Reed and Sharon said the property “indisputably belongs to the estate.”

They added, “despite this court’s subpoena, and [Kellie’s] own admission that she has failed to relinquish possession of estate property, her admission that she is withholding estate property and despite numerous informal attempts to obtain the withheld property before and after [Kellie’s] failure to comply with the [subpoena].”

Reed and Sharon asked the court to issue sanctions for Kellie’s “willful violations” of the subpoena issued and served upon her.

Kellie fired back and claimed that there is no order issued by the court “enforcing the subpoena.”

“There is simply no basis to support a contempt petition,” Kellie’s lawyer argued.

A hearing has been set for March 20 for the parties to fight over Kellie being found in contempt.

As In Touch first reported, Kellie and Kyle’s parents have been fighting over Kyle’s property. Kyle died on February 17, 2023, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the age of 49.

Kellie declined to serve as administrator of his estate, which led to his parents taking over the role.

Last year, Kellie filed a petition claiming Reed and Sharon served her with a subpoena demanding she turn over certain items owned by Kyle.

“A dispute has arisen amongst the parties regarding certain personal property allegedly in [Kyle’s] possession prior to his death,” Kellie’s petition read.

Reed and Sharon demanded Kellie produce Kyle’s gun collection, his swords, including his Samurai Japanese sword, Rolex watch, Garmin watch, a 1957 J45 Gibson guitar, a McPherson KOA Guitar, a plastic bin of baseball card albums, school awards, a Steinway Grand Model M piano, a viola, and his electronics.

Kellie claimed Reed and Sharon took property owned by Kyle from her home after Kyle’s death. She said they never provided her with inventory of what they took.

Kyle’s parents said Kellie had invited them over and they took a pile of items she put together for them but that property is still missing.

“Included in the List of Assets are items that [Kellie] either does not have in her possession or over which right, title and possession are disputed,” Kellie’s petition read.

Reed and Sharon’s petition said, “[Kellie] and her counsel have provided conflicting information regarding the location and rightful possession of the items listed and, as set forth hereinabove, have admitted [Kellie] is in possession of several items of property of [Kyle].”

In addition, Kyle’s parents claimed they had a copy of their late son’s prenuptial agreement, which they said made it clear what property was owned by his estate.

As In Touch previously reported, Kellie was home at the time of Kyle’s death.

Police said the singer woke up in another room and could not find her husband.

The singer and her assistant called police after finding a locked door. Law enforcement found Kyle in the room. Kyle did not have drugs in his system at the time of his death, according to the medical report.

The report did reveal he had a history of “pseudoseizures, gastrointestinal bleeding, elevated liver enzymes, and chronic alcohol use.”
