Olivia and Ethan Plath’s Divorce Decree Reveals Details About His ‘Welcome to Plathville’ Salary
Olivia and Ethan Plath are officially divorced.
A Minnesota judge signed off on the Welcome to Plathville couple’s split in February 2026. The pair announced their separation in October 2023 and filed for divorce in February 2024. They married in October 2018.
The drawn-out divorce has been a point of contention between Ethan and Olivia, with both accusing the other of holding up the process.
“Olivia will not call or respond, do anything,” Ethan complained in the Welcome to Plathville Season 8 premiere, which aired March 31. “She’s purposely trying to hold me up, trying to make my life hell. I believe Olivia won’t let me go because she doesn’t want to let me move on to anybody else. I think that’s her motive.”

Ethan will keep bank and investment accounts in his name, as well as his collection of classic cars, including a 1937 Plymouth valued at $8,000.
Olivia will keep bank and investment accounts in her name, as well as her company, Sunshine Media. She also retains a 2016 Subaru Outback. Olivia will also continue to use her married last name, Plath, rather than reverting to her maiden name, Meggs.
