Most definitely not. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) banned polygamy over 100 years ago. The Church does not provide financial support to any sister-wife. The Church will provide in-kind help (food, clothing, emergency supplies, job training, etc) to people outside of their faith who apply for assistance.
If you are speaking of the Sister Wives tv show, no. The Browns of the tv show are not members of the Mormon Church. Both Kody and Janelle left the Mormon Church to join the Apostolic United Brethren. Their church may provide financial support, but the Mormon church does not.

Are sister wive Mormon?
No. The Brown Family are members of the Apostolic United Brethren. Kody and Janelle grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the 'Mormon' Church) but left because of their belief in and desire to practice polygamy (the Mormon Church banned polygamy nearly 125 years ago). The Apostolic United Brethren is an offshoot of the Mormon Church and continues many of the same beliefs and practices, including belief in the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith.
Did Kody Brown from sister wives go on a Mormon mission?
Yes. Kody Brown served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) in San Antonio, Texas. While he was away, his parents converted to the Apostolic United Brethren. When Kody returned, he left the Mormon church and joined the Apostolic United Brethren with his parents. He and his family still belong to that church.
What religion are the sister wives?
They have not released the name of their church in order to protect themselves and other members of the church, but they do live in an area that is highly populated by members of the Apostolic United Bretheren, a polygamist sect with an estimated 7,000 members. Locals refer to the church as "The Allred Group". From what I have seen on the show, all evidence points to them belonging to this group. Please note that this group broke from the FLDS (whom you might recognize from the Texas raids in 2008) in the early 1950's. The FLDS broke from the mainstream LDS or "Mormon" church in 1890. Because of this, the Brown family featured on "Sister Wives" has many beliefs similar to those of Mormons. In fact, Kody and Janelle both grew up in the mainstream Mormon church and converted to their current religion after graduating high school.
Do the sister wives get government financial help?
No. The Brown family from 'Sister Wives' does not recieve government financial assistance.

Do all Mormon woman wear skirts and dresses?
No, definitely not. Female members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) are not required to wear skirts and dresses - most Mormon women wear pants for their regular activities, except in some countries where dresses for women are the norm. (Many nations in Africa frown on women in pants)Within Mormon culture, skirts and dresses are considered the most appropriate attire for worship services and other church meetings as a sign of respect, but those in pants will not be turned away. The only Mormon women who are required to wear pants are female missionaries, who adhere to a strict dress code. Female missionaries, or "sisters" must wear skirts when preaching or proselytizing, except in certain areas where mosquito-borne illnesses make pants a safer choice. Sisters may wear pants when exercising or performing community service.In short, Mormon women usually only wear skirts or dresses to church or when preaching as missionaries. Your average Mormon woman (including me!) is wearing pants right now.Click to see photos for examples of what Mormon women would wear:Mormon Sister Missionaries in Pants (2016)Mormon Sister Missionaries in Belgium(2013)Sister Missionaries guidelines for pants(exercise and service)Typical Mormon women dressed for church(2015)Mormon woman leaving church in pants(2012)Mormon Women in PeruTypical Mormon women in California (2012)Typical Mormon women in Atlanta, Georgia(2010)Mormon women dressed for church in Utah(2015)

What is the Mormon called?
"Mormon" is a nickname given to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, based on their belief in the Book of Mormon as a companion scripture to the Bible. "Mormons" are also called "Latter-day Saints" or "LDS". Many Mormons refer to each other as "Brother" and "Sister".
Do you refer to Mormon missionaries as brother or sister if you're not Mormon?
I suggest you just call them "Mr." or "Ms.".
Can a brother and sister who are fully initiated in the Catholic Church baptize their sister's baby in the Baptist Church?
no
How do you address a Mormon bishop and his wife?
If you are not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), a Mormon bishop will not be offended if you call him by his first name or Mr. (last name). If you would like to, you may address him the way that his congregation would, by calling him Bishop (last name), such as Bishop Johnson. The same would go for his wife. You may call her by her first name or Mrs. (last name), but you may call her as the congregation would. All women in a Mormon congregation are addressed as Sister (last name). So, the way a congregation member might address them is "Bishop and Sister Johnson" or "Bishop Johnson and his wife Susan". But they will not be offended if you call them "Joe and Susan" or "Mr. and Mrs. Johnson". Outside of church settings, it is acceptable to use their names and not their religious titles.
Can you marry your sister's ex husband in the catholic church?
