TEEN Mom star Ryan Edwards has been left alone in his custody battle with his wife Mackenzie, as his lawyer quit following the TV personality’s absence from his latest hearing.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively report that Ryan ‘s attorney withdrew as the Teen Mom OG alum’s council of record on July 22, 2024.
Court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun state that Ryan, 36, has 30 days to obtain a new council, or he’ll have to represent himself in his and Mackenzie ‘s custody war.
However, the insider claimed that Ryan isn’t helping his case as he rarely goes to visitations with his kids and only spends a few moments with them when he does.
Ryan previously claimed that he regularly attended those visits, which took place at his mother’s home, until Mackenzie suddenly stopped bringing the kids.
The TV star is also a father to a 15-year-old son, Bentley , with his ex, Maci Bookout , 32, who he appears to have mended his fractured relationship with based on recent social media posts.
Maci even bonded with Ryan’s girlfriend, Amanda Connor, 33, on Monday’s episode of Teen Mom : The Next Chapter, bringing the exes closer together.
But Ryan’s relationship with Mackenzie doesn’t appear to have the same trajectory as their divorce keeps getting messier.
Mackenzie initially filed for divorce in February 2023 after the pair got into an explosive fight that left their Tennessee home completely destroyed.
According to a Tennessee court docket viewed by The U.S. Sun, Ryan filed for “divorce with minor child” in early March.
He also filed a permanent proposed parenting plan.
Ryan requested to be the “designated the primary residential parent” of their two children and “that child support be assigned from Mackenzie’s income.”
Ryan has appeared to clean up his act after completing a 28-day treatment program at a rehabilitation facility following his stint in the Silverdale Detention Center in April 2023.
He has managed to stay out of trouble since his release and has been drug-free for over a year.
Fans recently praised Ryan for looking “healthy” in photos with his family and girlfriend after maintaining his sobriety.
