Kim Plath has officially filed for divorce from Barry Plath, two years after their split.
In documents obtained by ET, the Welcome to Plathville star and family matriarch filed for divorce on June 26 in the state of Georgia. Kim went on to say that her and Barry’s marriage is “irretrievably broken.”
The documents state the official date of separation is December 23, 2021. The estranged couple’s wedding date was listed as July 12, 1997.
Barry and Kim share children Ethan, 26, Hosanna, 24, Micah, 23, Moriah, 21, Lydia, 20, Isaac, 18, Amber, 15, Cassia, 13, and Mercy, 11. The couple’s tenth child, Joshua , died during an accident in 2008. He was 17 months old.
As far as the three minor children are concerned, the documents state that Kim is seeking primary custody as she is a “fit and proper mother,” and is requesting that Barry pay child support in accordance with the state of Georgia.
Regarding property, the documents state that Kim is entitled to the “equitable division” of marital assets and is entitled to have other debts (individual and joint) divided between the parties.
In June 2022, Barry and Kim have announced their decision to end their marriage after 24 years.
“While this was not an easy decision, we know it is the best choice for both of us,” the former couple said in a statement to ET at the time. “We have been through many ups and downs in our 24 years of marriage, and as we navigate this new chapter in our lives, we will co-parent our incredible children.”
The consequences of the separation occurred in seasons 4 and 5 of Welcome to Plathville. Last season, some of Kim and Barry’s children agreed with their father that it wasn’t an appropriate time for Kim to date. However, Kim expressed her interest in living her life and started dating a man named Ken.
