Karen and Deon have 14 kids and have revealed that they are planning to split the custody of their 13 minor children between the two of them

The couple married in 2005, and share 14 children: four sets of naturally-conceived multiples — quintuplets, two sets of twins, and triplets — as well two other pregnancies.

Karen and Deon are parents to 13-year-old Derrick; 12-year-old twins Dallas and Denver; 10-year-old quintuplets Deonee, Daician, Daiten, Deniko and Dariz; six-year-old Diez and Dior; and four-year-old triplets Dawsyn, De'Aren and Dyver.

Their eldest child, Darian, is 18 years old.

According to TMZ, Deon will pay $1,166 in child support per month and Karen will be responsible for paying the children's medical insurance.

The couple started chronicling their large family in 2020 on their TLC show Doubling Down With The Derricos.

The couple faced criticism in the past for their large brood, with critics claiming she wasn't able to give each child one-on-one time and that her home was too 'chaotic.'

Karen, who would often say she planned to have 'as many children as God blesses' her with, fired back at trolls last year.

The mom-of-14 had said she had plans at the time to expand their family.

When they first began having children, their family grew at a 'normal' pace, however, Karen soon gave birth to multiple children at one time.

She revealed trolls often claimed she 'can't love' all of her children, her house was a mess, she was 'overwhelmed', the multiple pregnancies were 'harsh' on her body, and that 'black families are different.' But Karen disagrees.

She noted that both she and her husband work from home so they were able to homeschool the kids, and help them find their passion.

Next, she fired back at trolls who assume her house was always a mess due to the number of children running around.

Karen - who was a preschool teacher - revealed her time leading a classroom helped prepare her for keeping an organized home, despite having a large number of kids.

She said: 'If I can keep a classroom in order, I can keep a home in order too.'

The mom explained that she has taught all of her children to clean up after themselves, adding that they never leave a room messy.

She also revealed that they put rules in place, such as no yelling and strict bedtimes, to ensure there is no chaos.

In the past, Karen has broken down the cost of having such a large brood.

She revealed they spend $3,500 a month 'easy' at the grocery store, going through about 15 packages of waffles and 20 rolls of toilet paper a week.

The amount of money that we spend on groceries, oh my gosh. $2,500 to $3,500, easy,' Karen said in a clip.

She also revealed she des 18 loads of laundry a week to keep everyone in clean clothes.
