No. The screenplay for Uncle Buck was written by filmmaker John Hughes, who also directed and produced the movie.

No reason was given other than Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly) saying it was because they weren't making enough money in Indianapolis.

How does the movie end?

Uncle Buck (John Candy) gets Chanice (Amy Madigan) to watch Miles (Macaulay Culkin) and Maizy (Gaby Hoffmann) and goes looking for Tia. He crashes the party and makes his way to a bedroom where Bug (Jay Underwood) is attempting to have sex with a girl. Thinking it's Tia in there, Buck drills through the doorknob but, when he opens the door, he finds that it's not Tia in bed with Bug. Buck starts to drive home and finds Tia walking alone. He stops to offer her a ride, and she tells him that everything went the way he predicted it would. Buck apologizes for riding her tail all week and asks for her advice with Chanice. When they get home, Tia explains to Chanice how she made it all up about Buck and Marcie (Laurie Metcalf) and tries to convince her to get back together with Buck, who is listening at the door. Buck suddenly coughs, and Chanice bursts open the door, sending Buck flying across the room. Bob (Garrett M. Brown) and Cindy (Elaine Bromka) return from their trip to Indianapolis, Cindy fully expecting to be ranted at by Tia. Instead, Tia flies into her arms and tells her how much she loves her. In the kitchen, Buck grabs the overhanging pot rack and accidentally brings everything crashing to the floor. In the final scenes, the Russells say goodbye to Chanice and Buck, who have reconciled, and Buck off-handedly suggests to Tia that they get together for coffee sometime.
