Kim Plath Left Barry Plath Over Two Years Ago
Welcome to Plathville fans were shocked when Kim suddenly started sleeping on the couch. Then, she stayed in other places without her husband. She took up dancing, flirted in her midlife crisis, and left Barry and the kids reeling in shock. It happened after they moved off the farm and into town.
Kim Plath said in 2022, that things were changing but Barry didn’t want to adjust. So, she vamoosed, letting him pick up the slack with the kids.

This weekend, Starcasm revealed that she finally filed for divorce.
Welcome To Plathville Star Wants Custody & Child Support
Sharing the news about Kim Plath on Instagram late on Saturday, the outlet summarised their report about the divorce news. The caption said:
EXCLUSIVE! #Plathville’s Kim Plath FINALLY filed for divorce from husband Barry Plath on Wednesday after the couple separated more than 2 years ago. She’s asking for permanent primary custody of their 3 minor children as well as child support.
In their article, the outlet cited the Welcome to Plathville star’s filing as follows:
Plaintiff shows that she is a fit and proper parent to care for the minor children and that she is entitled to both temporary and permanent primary custody of the minor children.
TLC fans should note that it seems as if Lydia Plath or her sister Amber stepped into a mommy role in her mother’s absence. Kim Plath decided she wanted Amber, 15, Cassia, 13, and Mercy, 11. Because she claims to be a “fit and proper parent,” she wants custody. Additionally, the TLC star wants Barry to pay her legal fees and child support. This comes even after she is the one who moved out and left the kids for him to raise.
Although the papers didn’t specify what she and Barry Plath own, she wants their various properties and their debts divided between them. The TLC actress also talked about how she will elaborate if necessary, on the reason for the divorce. But for now. she’s going for the timeworn, “irretrievably broken” marriage.

She is not a fit parent for those girls, she’s never been a parent to any of the kids.
He’s not a lot better but has stepped up since she left.
She can have a few visits and pay support and alll the legal fees.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the kids ask to stay with their father over her.
I would rather have Barry have the kids,He doinga fantastic job. Kim is the one who left !!
She wanted out of the marriage, and she filed for divorce, co-parent, therefore child support payments should be off the books. Get a job…sell your properties, marry the family friend and let him help you financially. I’m tired of these women wanting the man to foot her bills when she didn’t want him anymore AND she filed, I hope he has a good attorney. Don’t give her NOTHING.
Y now? She had to b free. Free to figure out what SHE wanted. Her relationship with ALL her kids has suffered for yrs. Stop upending the kids lives with ur ‘whems’ Go do you and leave what Barry has stood by, picked up and stayed constantly consistently in his children’s lives. She floated around be n cute and had no worries. Leave the chicken and Barry be. He asks nothing of you yet allows her everything.
I agree, well said
Why do parents do this. Leave them where they are happiest. You managed to screw up many others, so let’s try and give these three a chance. I think they would be best off with Lydia, but that should not be hers to take on, sad is all it is.
I think he is a controlling and manipulative prick. I think he wanted his wife barefoot, pregnant, and above all else OBEDIENT. I don’t believe for one minute he is how he appears on camera and I think she is willing to shoulder all the blame in order to shelter the children from who he really is.
She is not a fit mother. She got arrested for DWI!! Leave the kids and him alone. She didn’t want to be married because he didn’t appreciate her. Never mind he’s working his butt off trying to support all those kids and her fat butt! She needs to shack up with her son’s boss and let him support you. See how long he puts up with your controlling personality. If Barry’s smart, he’ll get nasty. He’s been too passive already!!!
