Now that they’re divorced, Deon has been ordered by the court to pay $1,166 in child support to Karen each month for their 13 minor children. Karen is in charge of securing medical insurance for the kids.
Unlike many other TLC stars, Deon and Karen’s salaries from the show have not been revealed. However, that’s not the only way Deon is bringing in money. He is also a real estate investor and a keynote speaker.
The air date for Season 6 of Doubling Down With The Derricos has not yet been announced, but the family has confirmed that they have been filming for the next season. It’s likely viewers will get to see a lot of the divorce drama play out on the small screen.
