Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer’s marriage may be over, but the exes must now abide by a divorce agreement that requires both parties to follow a parenting plan and prohibits them from making disparaging remarks about each other on social media.
As The Ashley told you last week, Ryan and Mack’s divorce was granted on Friday following a years-long court battle, his and hers restraining orders, one utterly trashed home, a nasty custody fight and more than one online squabble between Mack and Ryan’s fiancée/latest baby mama, Amanda Conner.
While Ryan is now free to legally lock things down with Amanda, he is NOT free to use social media as a sounding board to vent his frustrations about Mack. The Sun reports that Ryan and Mackenzie– who share six-year-old son Jagger and four-year-old daughter Stella– have both agreed to refrain from making disparaging remarks about one another online.
According to court documents obtained by The Sun, the divorce agreement also notes that Mackenzie has been awarded her and Ryan’s Harrison, Tennessee home, which was purchased by the mom of three in late 2019 for nearly $310,000. (Ryan was not on the home’s deed.)
Mack was also awarded the car in her possession.
Meanwhile, per the agreement, Ryan was awarded his 2018 Ford F-150, 2024 Ducati motorcycle, 2013 Mustang GT, 2021 BMW RR, 1969 Camaro Z28 and a 2017 Harley Streetglide.
Additionally, the exes are responsible for any debt in their own name and Mackenzie will not receive any spousal support from Ryan, as both parties reportedly waived their right to alimony.
As for child support, Ryan has been ordered to pay Mackenzie $613 monthly– an amount determined by Ryan’s gross monthly income of $4,282 and Mackenzie’s monthly income of $4,166. (As The Ashley told you last week, Ryan was approved to pay Mack the reduced amount of child support he asked for in July, which reflected the fact that he is no longer earning an income from appearing on Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, as the show remains on hiatus. Ryan’s current monthly income reflects only what he is reportedly earning from his job as a mechanic.)
According to the agreement, Mackenzie will have Jagger and Stella with her 225 days of the year, while Ryan will have the children with him 140 days. Beginning August 16, Jagger and Stella were to be with their father overnight every Saturday from 10 a.m. until Sunday at 6 p.m.
As part of “Phase II” of the parenting plan, Ryan will get the children after school on Thursdays and they will remain in his care until Sunday at 6 p.m., every other weekend. On the weekends that Ryan doesn’t have Jagger and Stella, he will have them from Thursday (after school) until Friday morning (before school).
When “Phase III” of the parenting plan begins in February 2026, Ryan will have Jagger and Stella from Thursday (after school) until Monday morning (before school), every other week. As with the current plan, on the weekends that Ryan doesn’t have the two children, they will be in his care from Thursday (after school) until Friday morning (before school).

Wait what… all Ryan has done, his level of irresponsibility, drug use, arrests, destroying the family home, and he is being given this much unsupervised parenting time? I’m sorry am I missing something?? This is horrifying. Thursday to Sunday? Then Thursday to MONDAY?! Do we think these kids are safe with this unlicensed, drug addict, former criminal father?
I just don’t understand how a judge would allow such a parenting plan with Ryan’s record.
Poor kids. I know what it’s like to live in a suitcase. Having two homes can feel like having no home.
This custody plan requires more responsibility from Ryan than he has ever shown in his entire life. Getting the kids to school, taking care of them unsupervised, etc. is not something he’s ever done. I guess the court will see how Phase 1 goes. For the kids’ sake, I hope he can rise to the occasion for the first time in his life.
And, he has an awful lot of vehicles for someone who claims to not have much money.
Please we all know it’s gonna be Mimi Jen picking up/dropping off.
Mimi Jen better get herself a big planner over at the Homegoods b/c kids that age have tons of activities they have to be carted off to the minute school gets out. Might take away from going to every single one of Benny’s wrestling matches.
Hopefully Amanda will keep her big mouth shut on social media. If she loves Ryan and Mack’s kids like she claims then she would understand trashing their mother online isn’t what’s best for the kids. They didn’t ask to be in this public and toxic shit show.
That may be Ryan’s income now but he was making $16,000 a month with Teen Mom and another $4,200 a month from his job. Evidently he doesn’t mind blowing his money on multiple cars and a Harley. His Ducati alone is worth $35,000. Maybe he should think about selling the shit he LIKES but doesn’t NEED and putting it into a college fund for his kids. Guarantee he didn’t put aside anything for Bentley’s education.
I think this is a very fair divorce and custody settlement. Ryan already has a different place of residence.
Ideally, Ryan would have paid for the damage to the home he was responsible for. I dont think that would be legally enforceable considering it was still his home at the time.
Rhine sure has a lot of vehicles for someone who loses his license on the reg.
the custody plan seems very confusing but about time we don’t have to hear anyone talking bad about the other! i hope they can all at least coparent amicably for the kids sakes
Hopefully the order goes for Amanda too. Otherwise she’ll keep running her big, dumb yapper online.
That honestly sounds miserable for the kids. Imagine living your life like that, back and forth.
IKR like who made this schedule? Not anyone with a functional brain. Poor kids, whatever happened to every second weekend? They already are going to be more on mom’s side than Ryan’s (obviously for good reason) and this will only push them further to Mack. If Ryan really wanted to do better, he would have tried to put the kids first in all of this but he can’t 😛
Every other weekend is an outdated custody model that makes assumptions about men being poor parents. Courts are trying to do better trying to give equal time because it’s in the best interest of children to have time with both parents. Regardless of how the adults feel about each other. Ryan is recovering from a disease and deserves to be given a chance as a parent.
Except that in every single instance Ryan has proven over and over he is a shit parent. Jen and Larry raised his children for him. Mac had no problem with the children being with “Ryan” so much because he never actually has them. They stay with Jen and Larry and they supervise Ryan’s one hour visit.
Lemme tell u something. My daughter’s father is also “recovering from a disease” (alcoholism) and I would never everrrrrr ever ever use this as an acceptable reason for him to spend unsupervised time with our daughter. He can do whatever he wants to better himself, but my daughter’s safety is the top priority. It’s unfortunate that he is a recovering addict because I do believe people can try to be sober, BUT, we can’t take chances with young children. Sometimes you have to live with the consequences of your own actions. Kids come first.
I am a child of divorce and my parents had coparenting, week on week off. The times we had to switch the day of the household switch were the worst. First we switched on Mondays, then Fridays, then Thursdays. Really messes with your sense of time and structure. Became a champion in packing my stuff in record time though, 15 years later and I’m still by far the most efficient en fast packer.
It’s actually very common now. Many have agreements one week on one week off, or a combination of two/days on/off. Courts want to see each parent get equal access to their child and not have parental alienation
It’s really not THAT confusing. Ryan picks up the kids from school every Thursday and brings them to school Friday mornings. The only difference is who picks them up from school on Fridays, which will vary if it’s Ryan’s weekend or Mackenzie’s, and then that parent is responsible for Monday school drop off.
It sounds confusing but it’s quite common in divorce cases. I personally know two separate families who operate under the same schedule. Neither of these people are Ryan though so that could change how well this actually works.
