In legal paperwork, Kim expressed she feels she is a ‘fit and proper parent’ and is also seeking child support.
According to documents, Kim is granted ‘equitable division’ of marital assets and other debts.
The reality television stars told ET in June 2022: ‘While this was not an easy decision, we know it’s the best choice for both of us.’
They added, ‘We have been through many highs and lows in our 24 years of marriage and as we navigate this new chapter in our lives, we will co-parent our amazing children.’
Nearly eight months ago, the Plaths’ son Ethan announced they were separating after five years of marriage.
The Plath family has seen its share of heartbreak and tragedy — Kim lost their 17-month-old son Joshua in a car accident in 2008 when she ran him over on the family farm in Georgia.
She was pregnant with their eighth child at the time.
Plath had been using her car to move fruit trees on their property, and did not see the baby.
