CALLING IT QUITS
Amy and Michael finalized their divorce on September 6, 2023, the U.S. Sun exclusively reported in October of last year.
Michael filed for dissolution of marriage with children against Amy in March 2023, and the pair battled it out in court for six months.
A memo left beside the court document, obtained by The U.S. Sun, read, "Marital settlement agreement is approved and incorporated by reference as if set forth verbatim and the parties are ordered to obey the terms thereof."
Michael filed for divorce from Amy, but the reality star filed domestic violence claims against her former partner a month earlier, in February.
Those charges were later dropped, however.
After a lengthy custody battle over their two children, Gage and Glenn, Amy and Michael agreed to split custody.
The presiding judge previously decided on March 22 that the court was required to enter a shared parenting schedule, allowing both Amy and Michael to maximize the amount of parenting time available.

Amy introduced fans to a new man before her divorce from Michael was finalized.
The U.S. Sun previously reported that she was dating a man named Tony who was from Battle Creek, Michigan.
When her divorce was finalized, she and Tony had been dating for "about three months."
A source revealed at the time that Amy was hesitant to go public with her new romance.
"She's been keeping [Tony] on the down low, but he's been living with her in Kentucky," the insider said.
