Parents of the big Duggar family, Jim Bob and Michelle are reportedly having marital and coping problems since Josh Duggar was released this month from the faith-based rehab.

Since Josh's the revelation of Josh's molestation scandal and his addiction towards sex and porn, the Duggars are having a hard time financially since TLC ends the contract for 19 Kids and Counting. This is said to have stressed the Duggar head parents who were considering divorce since then.

Another report said that advertisers have pulled out their slots for the show leaving them with little or no income at all. The Duggars were just fortunate last year that the network gave a spinoff for Jill and Jessa and another one coming up focused on the 26-year old, Jana Duggar.

Aside from financial problems the family is also affected with the screaming headlines against them week after week. Adding to that, the Jim Bob and Michelle are said to be divided in their treatment to Josh now that he is back in their household.

"Jim Bob believes that Josh is completely cured, and Michelle, while she would never admit it publicly, understands why some family members don't want Josh around them or their children. It's splitting the family apart," a source said.

Michelle's act of voicing out her opinion, is of course, a very big issue in the patriarchal family who believes that women should submit to their husband's will.

"It's no secret that Jim Bob usually calls the shots in the family about everything and anything that matters. But the handling of Josh's return has finally made [Michelle] speak up," the source shared.

For now, neither Jim Bob nor Michelle has commented about the divorce rumors.

Meanwhile, another divorce rumor is aimed at Ben Seewald and Jessa Duggar. In a Faceook post, a follower asked Ben if these were true. He, however, slammed the rumors.

"The word at the Star magazine said that you and Jessa are having marriage problems," a fan wrote.

"We're doing great! I don't know where they got that info??? Maybe that anonymous "source" that seems to know more about us than we ourselves do! Lol" Ben Seewald replied.
