1000-LB. SISTERS star Amy Slaton’s judge has ruled she and her ex-husband Michael Halterman will have temporary joint custody of their two children Gage, two, and Glenn, eight months.

The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal the judge presiding over Michael’s divorce against Amy granted them “temporary joint custody” of their children on a shared parenting schedule.

According to the Kentucky court documents, Michael, 40, believes he deserves joint custody as both he and Amy, 35, have “been in a caregiver role for the children since birth.”

As decided on March 22, 2023, the court must enter a “shared parenting schedule,” which will allow Amy and Michael to “maximize the amount of available parenting time.”

In addition to granting joint custody, the court ruled Michael and Amy must “remain 500 feet from one another at all times.”

They are directed to “remain at least 500 feet” from each other’s properties and all communication must be made on an app supervised by the court. 

The ex 1000-Lb. Sisters couple must also “not make any public statements or social media postings concerning this litigation or one another.”

Lastly, Amy and Michael must file their 2022 taxes separately, with each “permitted to claim one minor child and each being solely responsible for any resulting refund of deficiency.” 

TLC has not yet responded to The U.S. Sun for comment on behalf of the network nor Michael.

TROUBLING TIMES

The U.S. Sun previously reported Amy shared her explosive allegations against her ex Michael in her complaint for an open domestic violence case filed in Kentucky court on February 24.

The reality star claimed: “[Michael] is mentally abusive.”

“He’s very controlling.”

She stated: “The night of 2/24/23 he got mad that I went to take the kids with my sister to eat.”

Amy also alleged Michael was “too violent” around their children Gage and Glenn.

She claimed: “When disciplining the boys he hits too hard. He pulls them by the arm.”

The TLC star also claimed: “[He] won’t give me money for our eight-month-old.”

She concluded: “He makes me do everything with the house, boys, and has no job.”

Amy had filed an emergency protection order for herself and their two sons on February 28.

On March 7, Michael denied all of Amy’s claims of domestic violence.

Michael did admit he had an argument with Amy’s sister “on or about” February 24.

TAKING ACTION

The U.S. Sun previously reported that Amy filed the order of protection just four days after making a 911 call claiming Michael had become “violent” in their home.

According to a 911 dispatch document obtained exclusively by The U.S. Sun, Amy claimed Michael started “throwing things” during a heated argument on Friday, February 24.

The explosive argument went down just 17 days before Michael filed for divorce in their local Kentucky court.

According to the dispatch report, neither Amy nor Michael was under the influence of drugs or alcohol when the officer arrived on the scene around 2.30pm.

Amy and Michael were arguing over their split, the responding officer claimed.

“Amy wants to separate, but the male doesn’t want to,” the report stated.

The mom-of-two claimed Michael eventually “became violent” and started “throwing things” with Gage and Glenn present in the home.

Neither Michael nor Amy was arrested following the altercation.

IT’S OVER

In February, The U.S. Sun first reported that Amy and Michael had split after five years of marriage.

Although Amy did not take legal action to file for divorce at first, she moved out of their shared family home and in with her sister Tammy, 36, taking the children with her following the alleged fight.

By March 13, Michael had filed for dissolution of marriage with children against Amy, according to Kentucky court documents exclusively reported by The U.S. Sun.
