I just felt it was time to move on. I was also feeling like the role has changed over the years in a way that has been an interesting experience for me. I just felt I had reached the end of what I wanted to explore where they were writing."
In an Entertainment Weekly interview after Pino's final episode as a series regular, SVU executive producer Warren Leight stated that the actor wanted to "spread his wings a little," and the producers also felt it was the right place to finish Amaro's story because of the numerous problems he'd run into over the years.

Now that they're no longer working together, it might even make it easier for them to pursue a romantic connection without letting work get in the way. Mariska also said, “He is free, and I think he's got eyes for me. But Olivia Benson is hurt! I mean, he left me in a lurch for 10 years.
Amaro took this decision of retiring because he knew that he is never going to move up in the department because he shot a teenage boy in the previous season, so he thought of being close to his daughter and son rather than fighting for a promotion.
He melted down in front of Benson, and it turned out the pair did sleep together when she was just 16 (in case you weren't sure).
It is confirmed in season 17 that Amaro and Rollins were romantically involved when Rollins discovers she is pregnant and says Amaro is not the father, meaning they did at least sleep together. The father of Rollins' child is later revealed to be Lt. Declan Murphy (Donal Logue), her former commanding officer.
In the episode "Hunting Ground", Amaro fatally shoots a serial killer who has Benson at gunpoint. It is the first time he has ever killed anyone, and he is badly shaken by the experience. In the episode "Valentine's Day", he sees his wife go into an apartment of a man he does not know.
Having to stick to the series' aim for realism, Florek left "Law & Order: SVU" to abide by the rule for officers' actual NYPD retirement age. Yet "Law & Order: SVU" wasn't the only time Florek made his departure from the franchise.
