This was disclosed during her ongoing divorce proceedings with her estranged husband, Josh Efird, who also earns a similar income.
Pumpkin and Josh opt for joint custody and shared expenses
The court documents, first reported by The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, show that Pumpkin, 24, filed for divorce on August 1, citing the official date of separation as July.
Despite their split, the couple has maintained a businesslike approach to co-parenting their four children—Ella, Bentley, and twins Sylus and Stella.
In a child support worksheet submitted to the court, Pumpkin and Josh agreed to share joint legal and physical custody of their kids.

Their agreement stipulates, “Due to the joint custodial relationship between the parties, there shall be no award of child support. The parties shall equally divide the expenses of the minor children, including but not limited to, uncovered medical expenses, extracurricular activities, and necessary school expenses.”
The separation may have come as a surprise to some, especially considering Pumpkin's public praise for Josh's parenting skills just last year.
In a heartfelt social media post in 2022, Pumpkin expressed gratitude for Josh, saying, “All my life I prayed god would send me someone I could have a family with and love forever and he sent me you. Thank you for being the best father to all of our babies including Alana.”

She added, "You’ve never failed to show up and show the kids what a man real man is. I’ll forever be thankful for you. Me and the kids love you so very much.”

The two also agreed to keep their respective vehicles and bank accounts separate, while jointly managing their children's savings accounts.
Amid the divorce, Pumpkin has moved on romantically, recently debuting her new boyfriend, Darrin Kitchens, as per In Touch.

Meanwhile, Mama June, 45, is facing her legal battles.
She is embroiled in a custody dispute with her late daughter Anna Cardwell’s ex-husband, Michael Cardwell, over the custody of Anna’s 12-year-old daughter Kaitlyn.
While Mama June was awarded temporary custody, Michael is fighting for Kaitlyn to live with him, as he also cares for his 8-year-old daughter Kylee, whom he shared with Anna.
The situation has been fraught with tension, with Mama June accusing Michael of being abusive towards Anna during their marriage—a claim Michael denies. His lawyer, Donald Lewis Roberts, stated, “Michael denies these allegations.
This is the first time that any of these allegations have been made against him.
He and Anna had a great relationship when they were married and simply separated due to differences in opinions and personalities. A judge has yet to rule on who will have permanent custody of Kaitlyn.
