1000-Lb Sisters cast member Michael Halterman requested a civil restraining order amid his divorce from Amy Slaton. The Kentucky pair has been long-term partners since they first met in the early 2010's. Since then, they've tied the knot and welcomed two sons alongside supporting each other on 1000-Lb Sisters. Unfortunately, things changed over the last few months when the couple began to show cracks in their relationship. In March 2023, Michael finally took a bold step and filed for dissolution of marriage.

According to Us Weekly, Michael requested a civil restraining order recently, further suggesting his relationship with Amy is over for good. The newest court documents state that this order would force Amy and Michael to be "500 feet from one another at all times," ensuring they can't physically interact. It would also stop them from airing their dirty laundry on social media, creating any further drama. The court files also state that the two can only communicate with a "court approved app," which will maintain full transparency.

1000-Lb Sisters' Amy Previously Filed Protective Order Against Michael

While Michael's actions against 1000-Lb Sisters' Amy may be shocking, it isn't the first time the former couple has been in such a situation. In March 2023, Amy got all the attention after she filed an emergency protective order against her former partner, Michael. According to the court documents, that order forced Michael not to interact with their kids without supervision. Additionally, he would have to be with his mother and sister while visiting Amy. The order came a few days after Amy called 911, stating that her husband had allegedly been violent.

There have been a lot of different opinions about Amy and Michael's relationship over the past few months. On one side, it seemed the two were destined for a divorce due to multiple red flags in their marriage. The first major sign was Amy's lack of affection for Michael, visible in their on-screen 1000-Lb Sisters appearances and social media posts. This behavior suggested that they likely fell out of love. Another sign was the inclusion of babies in their lives, which changed their relationship dynamic.

However, there has been some hope that the couple will eventually reconcile. There are many reasons why the two would choose to overcome their issues and save their relationship before it is too late. They have been together for nearly eight years and know one another well. Michael and Amy have been by each other's side through thick and thin, and have what it takes to make things work. Besides, Amy is a family-centric woman who has always been grateful for her life. Therefore, it is hard to think that the 1000-Lb Sisters star would give up on her marriage.
