Ryan Edwards says his soon-to-be ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer sold his stuff, and he wants a judge to punish her for it!
The Sun broke the news Thursday that the Teen Mom: The Next Chapter dad is demanding that the judge handing his and Mackenzie’s divorce case charge Mack with contempt, due to Ryan believing that Mackenzie sold a bunch of his property out from under him, despite a court order in place forbidding both parties from doing so until the divorce is settled.
According to a motion filed by Ryan’s lawyer on January 23, Ryan believes Mackenzie sold (or got rid of) items that had “significant monetary and/or sentimental value” to Ryan. The ‘Teen Mom’ star listed these items as a car jack, kayak, jet ski, lawnmower, hunting rifle, sectional couch, race car/motor/transmission and various tools, including a plasma cutter, two welders, generator, pressure washer and other stuff.
Mackenzie “intentionally, willfully and/or maliciously disposed of the following marital property,” the motion filed by Ryan claims. “[Mackenzie] made no attempt to discuss the sale, gift or transfer of these assets with [Ryan or Ryan’s] counsel.”
As The Ashley has previously reported, Ryan and Mackenzie are in the middle of a very nasty divorce and custody battle over their kids, Jagger and Stella. The exes are currently not allowed to be near each other, due to a restraining order. They are also forbidden from “transferring, assigning, borrowing against, concealing or in any way dissipating, without the consent of the other party or an order of the court, of any marital property” until their divorce is finalized.
Because of this, Ryan wants Mackenzie held in contempt, meaning she would face jail time and/or fines. According to Ryan, he wants his ex “sanctioned and punished for her intentional willful conduct.”
(In order for this to happen, though, Ryan would need to prove that Mackenzie no longer has the items he claims she disposed of.)
The Ashley can reveal that Ryan and Mackenzie are scheduled to go to court on Monday to discuss Ryan’s motion. However, they will also be discussing the temporary child support that Mackenzie claims Ryan owes her and has refused to pay. (In addition to the $30,000+ Ryan makes per episode of ‘Next Chapter’ he appears on, he also works a “regular” job as a mechanic.)
“Because mother has physical custody of the parties’ two children and father is gainfully employed, the Court should order child support to be paid by Father to Mother during the pendency of this case, and at the final hearing said child support obligation be made permanent,” the paperwork filed by Mackenzie last year reads, with Mack listing her monthly income as $3,000. She estimated Ryan’s monthly income to be around $18,440. She also stated that the two kids are with her 365 days a year, while they’re with Ryan “zero days.”
Mackenzie asked the court to set current child support and retroactive child support back to the date of separation.

Monday will not be the last time that Ryan and Mackenzie meet in court. As The Ashley previously told you, the exes were unable to agree on divorce/custody terms during their mediation session last month, so their case will now be moving to trial. According to The Ashley’s sources, “Ryan and Mackenzie agreed on everything…except how Ryan’s girlfriend Amanda [Conner] would be worked into the kids’ lives. That was the dealbreaker.”
Ryan and Amanda— who recently got engaged— are expecting their first child together, a girl, next month.

The absolute audacity of this pos.
Imagine destroying your ex-wife and kids’ entire house & belongings and smearing poop and graffiti all over the place but then having the nerve to go to court for this nonsense. Whatever happened with the house thing anyway? Can she sue him for the damage and lost items?
Meanwhile Ryan never payed a dime for the house he trashed (his own kids’ home, that truly had “sentimental value”) but he’s suing Mackenzie??
She probably had to sell those items to fix all the stuff you trashed so your kids have a roof over their heads, you absolute POS junkie deadbeat!
I wish he ends up in jail.
Pretty sad when Ryan is one of the very few on the show that has a real job.
So Ryan owes Mack tens of thousands of dollars and he’s suing her? Okay.
I hope she sold his stuff to pay for his kids.
Do we know if Mackenzie even had this stuff to begin with? Ryan was a heroin addict a year ago, they’re pretty well known for selling all their stuff.
Even if she did sell it, it would have been out of necessity. She’s raising two kids without a dime from him and she had to repair the house he destroyed (which included her stuff that I’m sure was much more sentimental).
Ryan is a joke.
Also, I’m so glad comments on the actual articles are usually more sensible than the ones on Facebook. I read a few on this one and the latest one about Catelynn and they were ridiculous. Makes me realize how much I love our little Trash TV shit-talking community we have on here.
Wow. My ex refused to pay child support until court mandated it, and they retroactively added back child support. So I feel for Mac on that sense. There is no reason he shouldn’t pay in his own, given they are HIS kids. So if she needs to sell stuff to support them, so be it. The fact he is absent in their lives is awful! And now he has another on the way?!?! Pathetic. While I hope he stays sober, he needs to get his entitled head out of his ass. Knowing how the courts always favor him, it would be awful if she got jail time for that. He needs to grow up, he can’t blame the drugs for being a deadbeat at this point!
I hope MacKenzie takes his ass to the cleaners! He deserves to finally suffer some consequences. I also hope the intro to Amanda with his kids is very slow. It should always be that way. Besides he doesn’t have enough room to keep all those kids where he lives now. I hope she wins big!!!
Aw Rhine showing his ass again. This reminds me year ago when an acquaintance was going through a divorce and she let me read their person statements. Hers a heartfelt 3 page document about the struggles in her life as he cut her off from funds with a disabled child, her long hospitalization for a life threatening syndrome and still raising their other child. His was a page and a half, one paragraph about why he should have custody (because they were familiar with his suburb) the rest was about all the money he believed she owed him for co-pays on bills he paid for their children.
Amazing, what a dick!
The good news is once his new baby is born and he will let go of Mack and the kids because he will have something shiny and new.
He is a major Ash! Also Maci needs to keep her nose and opinions to herself!!
