Why did Michael Halterman file for divorce from Amy Slaton?

Michael and Amy's divorce speculations have been swirling around the internet for the last few weeks. However, Michael filed for divorce from Amy on March 13, 2023, according to Kentucky court documents obtained by The Sun. Amy and Michael had been in secret arguments for months. However, the tension between the two arose soon after Amy had their children Gage, 2, and Glenn, eight months. Notably, Michael's behavior has been in question for months since the premiere of '1000-lb Sisters' Season 4. The season was difficult for both Amy and Michael, as they started a new life with two children. Amy and Michael were juggling their children and the drama surrounding the Slaton family.

While Amy was the star of the TLC show, Michael didn't want his sons to be on camera at all. But Amy wants her children to continue starring on the family's reality show. Moreover, a source revealed to the outlet, "[Michael] doesn't want the kids to be on the show, but Amy disagrees. They have been fighting over this for months." Meanwhile, Michael and Amy are yet to publically address their divorce.
