Among these couples, Kerok and Brittany were determined to forge a new path together. Both were former inmates planning to relocate from Virginia to Texas in search of better opportunities. However, in episode 41, they discovered they were unable to move states without prior permission.
Feeling discouraged, Kerok and Brittany attempted to communicate with officials to find a solution, only to learn that they needed special permission beforehand. Fans of Love After Lockup took to X to express their frustration over the state denying Kerok’s request to move.

What happened with Kerok and Brittany in episode 41 of Love After Lockup season 5?
In episode 41 of Love After Lockup season 5, Kerok was seen on the phone in Richmond, Virginia, speaking with an official, who informed him that the state had the authority to approve or deny his relocation. At that moment, they confirmed that Kerok and Brittany were not permitted to travel or move to Texas.
Kerok argued that he had already packed up his family, quit his job, and was ready to relocate. The officer clarified that such steps should not have been taken without prior approval. Kerok maintained that he didn’t believe there was any reason for a denial.
Brittany entered the conversation while Kerok was still on the phone, seeking clarification. After hearing the officer’s explanation, the couple learned that they would receive a request from their parole officer to expedite their move to Texas, a process that could take up to 30 days. Concerned about their timeline, Brittany insisted on speaking directly with the officer.
Brittany explained their urgent need to leave their current residence, emphasizing that they couldn’t afford to wait 30 days or they would be homeless. The official subsequently offered them a government-funded motel room until their permit was granted. Kerok expressed his feelings of failure for not being able to provide and protect his family.
