I vote that they SHOULD. Kate is rude, emasculating, and controlling just to name a few.

Aunt Jodi, who used to regularly appear on the show and was so patient with the kids is practically nonexistent in the show now. Allegedly, the producers offered to start paying Jodi, and Kate freaked out saying no one else should make money on their show. http://evilbeetgossip.film.com/2008/08/23/jon-and-kate-plus-eight-gets-nasty-aunt-jodi-tells-her-side/

BUT… I don't think they will get a divorce. Besides doing the show as a main source of income right now, they also travel the country giving talks to groups and many churches. A divorce would end all of this.

Here was their speaking engagement schedule for 2008, every other week:

This article indicates they are charging $25,000 per engagement.

Neither of them will be able to return to a forty hour work week or give up their current style of living. They are enjoying the celebrity status, free gifts and trips from countries, large house, and paychecks.

If they did divorce, I would tune in for every episode of that. Hopefully, if this is all true and they do stay together, they can improve their interactions and be good parents for those children.
