The reality stars — who chronicle the challenges of parenting 14 children on their TLC series — filed for divorce on June 4 and it became official two days later on June 6 when a judge signed off on the split, according to TMZ.
The pair are splitting legal and physical custody of their 13 minor children, per legal documents obtained by the outlet.
PEOPLE has reached out to TLC for comment.
Deon and Karen — who got married in 2005 — are parents to Derrick, 13, 12-year-old twins Dallas and Denver, 10-year-old quintuplets Deonee, Daician, Daiten, Deniko and Dariz, 6-year-old Diez and Dior, and 4-year-old triplets Dawsyn, De'Aren and Dyver. (Oldest daughter Darian is 18 years old.)
Deon will pay $1,166 in child support per month and Karen will be responsible for paying the children’s medical insurance, according to the outlet.
Karen also plans to keep the last name Derrico as she didn’t request her maiden name be restored and the judge approved it in the settlement.
