    Slaton and her estranged husband, Michael Halterman, split up last year in a messy divorce.

    Halterman requested that the court “enter a civil restraining order” that would keep both parties “500 feet from one another at all times” and make them stay “500 feet from the residence of the other party.”

    Slaton and Halterman had eloped in 2017 before having a formal wedding in 2019, which was documented on the popular TLC series.
