TEEN Mom Amber Portwood's ex has demanded that she pay him $125,000 in back child support plus another $20,000 in lawyer fees, as well as regular weekly child support as well.
The demands were revealed during Amber, 31, and Andrew Glennon's two-day court hearing ahead of a judge ruling on the final custody arrangement for their 3-year-old son James, The Sun can exclusively report.
During Andrew's testimony, his attorney went over a breakdown of what he believes he is owed in child support dating back to July 9 of 2019.
Based on the child support worksheets he and his attorney submitted, Andrew, 37 is asking Amber to pay $125,198 in back child support.
He would like the Teen Mom OG star to pay "$1,000 per month toward her arrearage until it's satisfied, so that would be $250 per week."
Additionally, he is asking for the MTV notable to pay his attorney fees which total $20,000 and for her to reimburse that in the next 30 days. The hearing was on March 2.
