In the history of Teen Mom, only one cast member,
Catelynn Lowell, is still together with her first baby daddy. Even though this means that many of her co-stars have been able to hunt more for The One, it also means that the rest of the cast have had to learn the careful art of co-parenting and custody battles.
Be sure to keep reading for a deleted scene of Teen Mom 2!
Since they split up from their baby daddies, custody battles have been a common trend on Teen Mom. We’ve seen the cast members face off with their baby daddies and even their parents to determine who will have the rights to care for their children. Luckily, Kailyn Lowry has managed to skate by without spending too much time in court with her baby daddies… until now.
During the most recent episode of Teen Mom 2, Kailyn revealed that Chris Lopez filed for emergency visitation rights of his son, Lux! Of course, Kailyn wasn’t too happy about this news.
“I haven’t talked to him in two months, and he hasn’t asked to see his son,” Kailyn said on the show. “Chris said him not having contact with the baby is detrimental to the baby and will cause harm by him not knowing his father. Mind you, he didn’t sign the birth certificate, he didn’t want me to file for custody or child support, but then he turned around and filed for custody.”
Kailyn was able to see things from Chris’s point of view, but she was still conflicted about the custody. “Every child needs their father and I don’t have the right to take Chris away from his son,” she confessed. “But at the same time the baby is four months old. Nobody knows what’s best for this baby more than me.”
After attending court, Kailyn revealed the outcome of the battle. Chris was granted supervised visits for the four weeks, at which his aunt had to be present. But she still wasn’t happy with this!
“Why can’t the person who supervises the visits be a neutral party?” she said. “I don’t trust his family to be there. I got what I wanted for Lux, but I’m upset still. There is no winning. Lux still loses because he won’t have both of his parents.”
Kailyn wasn’t the only one unhappy with her baby daddy this episode. Her co-star Briana DeJesus also spilled about her difficulties with her second baby daddy, Luis.
According to Briana’s mother, Roxanne, Luis rarely even asks about his daughter, Stella. “A text or two is very much appreciated,” Briana informed Luis. Luis responded, “I suck at communicating, but it doesn’t mean I don’t think of her and always have her on my mind. When I’m away I will communicate with you more often.”
As for Jenelle, she had her hands full with her three children and stepchild, Maryssa. She and David decided to take the family on a ski trip that quickly took a turn for the worse, and David wasn’t happy.
“These kids are f*cking driving me nuts!” David exclaimed during the trip. “Ever since I woke up they’ve been running around going crazy.”
When David Eason’s step-son Kaiser said he had to use the bathroom, David wasn’t having it. “If you poop in your pants you’re going to be in big trouble mister,” he said. “You just went to the potty. Stop it!’
Later, David could be seen screaming, “We’re going home because you don’t know how to act right! This is how it’s going to be when you don’t act right. Take your a** back to the house.”
Chelsea Houska had a custody battle of her own, battling Adam Lind to change Aubree’s last name. As for Leah Messer, she spent the episode discussing getting back together with Jeremy!
