Amy Slaton’s Divorce and Move Back Home with Kids
“1000-Lb. Sisters” star Amy Slaton, 35, has recently moved back into her Kentucky home with her two sons, Gage and Glenn, amid her messy divorce from her estranged husband, Michael Halterman. In February 2023, Amy shared videos on TikTok showing her children playing together in the property she seemingly shared with Michael prior to their separation on February 24, 2023.
Amy captioned one of the video clips, “Brothers playing together,” as she gave viewers a panorama view into their living room. In another video, the YouTube star recorded her eldest son, 2-year-old Gage, showing off his dance moves. However, Amy and Michael’s divorce has been making headlines amidst these sweet moments.
Signs of Trouble and Court Orders
One of the first signs of trouble in Amy and Michael’s marriage came in February 2023 when Amy reportedly moved out of their shared Kentucky home with their sons. It was reported that Amy moved in with her sister Tammy Slaton, who was living in a home that was previously in their family. Michael filed for dissolution of marriage against Amy on March 13, according to Kentucky court records exclusively obtained by In Touch.

At the time of the filing, a judge ordered that the former couple share temporary joint custody of their two sons, along with a schedule that will allow both Amy and Michael to “maximize the amount of available parenting time.” However, there won’t be any personal hand-offs between the parents, as Michael also requested a civil restraining order that would require both parties to stay more than 500 feet from each other or each other’s residences. The restraining order would also bar the reality TV couple from making public statements or social media posts about their divorce. Any communication between them must be through a court-approved app.
Allegations of Violence and Future Plans
The dad of two’s request for a restraining order came after Amy reportedly filed an order for emergency protection against him on February 28, following an alleged fight that turned violent, according to The Sun. The outlet reported that the protection order was later amended on March 8 to allow Michael supervised visitation with their children while accompanied by his mother and sister.
Amy and Michael were high school sweethearts who tied the knot in 2019. After welcoming their son Gage in November 2020, the couple considered stepping back from filming the reality TV series to focus on being new parents. Amy told The Sun in February 2022, “If they cut down my hours, I’ll probably be fine. I like the crew most, filming can be stressful, you’re there all day, and you have to say stuff over and over again. I love the relationship with the crew. But it’s stressful right now, he [Gage] needs much attention.”
