<p id=”par-1_89″>MTV is clearly trying to keep its future programming plans quiet. The stars of the <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/teen-mom/?swcfpc=1″>Teen Mom</a></em> franchise are making it nearly impossible. While the network has yet to announce the end of <em>Teen Mom: The Next Chapter</em>, the show’s stars are feeling a bit more chatty about it being canceled. First, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/brittany-dejesus-walks-back-comment-revealing-teen-mom-the-next-chapter-has-been-canceled.html/”>Brittany DeJesus</a> claimed the series had been canceled before trying to walk back the announcement. Now, Ryan Edwards is spilling the beans. He declared the show over in the paperwork he filed regarding his child support payments.</p>

<p id=”par-2_54″>Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer are still battling it out in divorce court, despite Edwards welcoming a baby with another woman. Standifer thought she likely had one battle over and done with back in February. That was when a judge ordered her famous ex to pay child support for <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/teen-mom-custody-drama-ryan-edwards-is-a-no-show-in-court.html/”>the two children they share.</a></p>

<p id=”par-3_73″>Standifer, who has been raising the children mostly solo since separating from Edwards in February 2023, claimed her estranged husband had not provided any money for the children since the split. A judge agreed that the father of four should contribute. He ordered him to pay $1,533 per month for the two kids they share. Edwards cares for the children on a part-time basis, seeing them just 26 days out of the year.</p>
<p id=”par-4_40″>Apparently, he can no longer afford the $1,500 per month. He has asked a judge to modify the order just five months after it was issued. Edwards claims significant changes to his income have left him unable to pay up.</p>

<p id=”par-5_104″>Ryan Edwards, who spent several months in court-ordered rehab before moving on with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/maci-bookout-amanda-conner-high-school-class-appeared-16-and-pregnant.html/”>his current fiancée </a>and returning to reality TV, claims he has a very good reason to request a modification to his support order. In a filing obtained by <a href=”https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/14647182/teen-mom-ryan-edwards-claims-show-canceled-divorce-docs/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>the U.S. Sun</a>, Edwards notes that his initial child support order factored in his earnings from the<em> Teen Mom </em>franchise<em>.</em> His lawyer went on to claim that Edwards, through no fault of his own, is no longer earning money through MTV and thus has experienced a significant drop in income. The documents indicate that <em>Teen Mom: The Next Chapter</em> has been canceled. </p>

Ryan Edwards’ Divorce Case: He is Requesting Equity in the Home He Destroyed </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-6_102″>The troubled Tennessee native now claims he makes just over $4,000 per month from his work as a mechanic. When he was first ordered to pay, Edwards admitted to earning $16,000 per month. With Teen Mom: The Next Chapter no longer a part of his income stream, his wealth has tumbled. Edwards also admitted to having nothing to show for his years on the series. During the initial child support hearings, the reality TV star revealed he had just two bank accounts with balances totaling less than $3,000. He also admitted to having around $18,000 in credit card debt and no retirement plans.</p>
