Amy Slaton gets custody of children
Amy has been making headlines recently due to her ongoing legal battle with her estranged husband Michael. On March 8, 2023, Amy made a significant move in the case by amending her order of protection against Michael to allow for supervised contact with their children. The decision came after an alarming 911 call that prompted Amy to initially file for an order of emergency protection, an order to surrender firearms, and a protective order summons against Michael on February 28, 2023. Following these legal actions, the judge presiding over the case decided to amend the order of protection ten days later.
According to exclusive court documents obtained by The US Sun, the amended order now allows for supervised contact between Michael and the couple's children. The memo from the court states that the contact must be supervised by Amy and her sister and that there must be no physical discipline.
While the decision marks a significant development in the case, it is unclear how it will impact the ongoing legal proceedings between Amy and Michael. The situation has been a source of intense scrutiny from fans of the show and the media alike, who have been closely following Amy's journey as she navigates the challenges of her troubled marriage. Despite the difficulties she has faced, Amy has remained a strong and resilient figure throughout the ordeal, speaking out against domestic violence and standing up for herself and her children.
For now, it seems that the decision to allow supervised contact between Michael and the children is a step in that direction, but only time will tell how the situation will ultimately play out.
