Kail Lowry recently revealed that she has spent over a $1 million dollars fighting her four baby daddies for custody of her kids, and in a new video posted to her Patreon, the mom of seven pointed her finger at one baby daddy specifically whom she feels has abused the court system.
The former Teen Mom star— who has been accused by fans for years of abusing the court system by filing frivolous court cases against her baby dadiii— did not specifically name the daddy in question, although fans were able to deduce by details given that she was talking about Chris Lopez, who is the father of her sons Creed and Lux.
“In one particular case I feel like I have spent the most amount of money which is the majority- close to a million dollars alone on one situation,” Kail said. “… In full transparency, I have filed a handful of things myself. The rest of the filings for almost a million dollars came from one parent and to me it’s very frivolous.
“I do feel it’s an abuse of the system and it’s not on my end,” she continued, adding that she is often told by fans to take that specific baby daddy to court. “People don’t understand that the courts don’t deal with, for example, haircuts. If the opposite custodial parent takes the child for a week that it’s not their time, the court does not see this an emergency.”
Kail also claimed that the mystery baby daddy filed against her in court over 50 times in one year.
Fans were able to figure out that she was talking about Chris due to these details, as Kail has spoken publicly about both situations involving Chris. As fans who have watched the trainwreck that is Kail and Chris’ co-parenting relationship know, Chris giving the boys haircuts has been a main source of contention in the co-parenting relationship. In December, Kail blasted Chris for shaving Lux’s hair— which had been grown long with locks— “against his will.” On at least two other occasions, Kail and Chris have fought about haircuts the kids received from Chris.
Kail also accused Chris of not returning Lux and Creed to her after his scheduled time with them around Thanksgiving, and refusing to tell her where they were for a week. Kail stated that she called the police over the situation.
On her latest Patreon, Kail revealed that, while she has spent over a $1 million fighting Chris in court, he has spent significantly less on court expenses, due to the fact that he is usually representing himself.
“[He’s] not having the financial burden that somebody with counsel does. So, I have spent over a million dollars but that does not mean that my coparent has spent over a million dollars. He might have spent $500,” she said, adding that she is still paying attorney fees for cases that have been over for a long time.
“I still have to pay thousands and thousands of dollars on frivolous filings and the court can’t intervene,” she said.
Some of those fees, Kail admitted, were paid so that her attorney would watch some of Chris’ Lives on social media.
“If you could do yourself a favor, keep it off social media,” she advised. “You don’t want to pay your attorney to go watch these Lives and review comments. You’re going to have to pay for it both mentally and financially and it’s not worth it.”
Kail acknowledged that not all of her four co-parenting situations are trainwrecks. While she and her ex-husband Javi Marroquin (with whom she shares son Lincoln) squabble like middle school girls on social media on the regular, she did credit him for splitting all of Lincoln’s expenses down the middle, something she said she also does with her ex-fiancé Elijah Scott (with whom she shares sons Verse and Rio and daughter Valley with).
As for her first baby daddy, Jo Rivera (with whom she shares son Elliott), things appear to be rather volatile. Although she didn’t name Jo specifically, she did provide an example of a certain baby daddy who refused to pay a portion of his kid’s esthetician bill.
“I recently got into a situation with one of the dads where he refused to pay half of the esthetician bill for severe acne and he told me that was a luxury that he did not agree to pay half of,” Kail said. (Elliott is currently the only teenager that Kail has and the majority of her kids are too young to have severe acne.)

“For me, I feel that is a category that should not be considered a luxury,” she said. “… I don’t expect them to maintain the same lifestyle that I have at my house because that would be unreasonable. But I think that some things related to medical, or their bodies, or their hair those things should be down the middle.”
Kail revealed that she spent just over $20,000 in family attorney fees in June 2025 alone, followed by another huge bill for nearly $27,000 in July.
“I’m treated exactly the same as anybody else,” she added. “The judges themselves do not care who you are. They don’t care if you’re a public figure or not.”

Money can buy you a lot things…such as multiple plastic surgeries, houses, cars and even men. However, money will never buy you class.
A lot of*
Pour one out to the attorney who gets paid to watch Chris’s live streams
I thought this sorry cow was going to stop airing her grievances and dirty BD laundry online?
Okay first off, if Isaac (Elliott- whatever) has severe acne- he should go to a dermatologist, which, in my experience usually has a big portion covered by insurance. An esthetician IS a luxury. With that said, Kail just bought him a brand new car- nicer than mine and I am a 42 year old adult. She’s really going to be as petty as to bitch about an esthetician appointment/treatment cost?! IS it worth the issues it causes?! I have three kids- two baby daddies. The twins dad pays child support (a lot less than the courts would have him pay but I really don’t care) every single month without fail, and we’ve never had to get the courts involved in custody or child support. I’ve never even had to threaten it. My sons have a great relationship with their dad and honestly I do too. He’s at our house for holidays and through the week he comes by too to visit and just hang out with the boys. The boys know they are free to live with him or me- whatever they want, now that they are older. Before, they had to be with me because of my exes work schedule (He leaves at like 3-4 am some mornings). We live very close to each other so it wouldn’t really matter. He provides extras for them- should they need something. I take care of housing, house bills, groceries, clothing, etc but he gives me $ towards those things and often buys them things too here and there. I work my 9-5 in accounting and I also have a side floral design business. I work my butt off for my kiddos. My youngests dad, has never consistently paid child support. He’s always been in and out of employment… The first year or my sons life I didn’t ask for a dime. Diapers, clothing, living expenses, child care and supplemental formula was all bought by me. My philosophy has always been, if I can afford it and it’s not putting me out too badly, then I am just going to cover everything myself and move on. Now, this is a 50 year old grown man… and granted, I DID feel bad because he was always talking about how broke he was. But after my son was about a year and a half and I noticed that I was struggling a bit, to make it on just my earnings. I found out he bought his newest “fiance” a 10K ring and they were looking to buy a house… So, I had enough. I then started asking for at least half of childcare to be covered. He agreed, but never paid more than his half (and it was not much). Ever. Since my son was about 2 he has been unemployed a lot on and off. In fact, he just started working again this week and has been off since October, so I haven’t seen a dime. I have filed for child support and I would have actually gotten about 3-4 times what he’s given me in the past – had he been working. But with him unemployed, there was nothing to collect and the state was going to take his drivers license away because he couldn’t pay anything anyway and would have created a lot of issues for him that would have just rendered him homeless basically. He sees our son every other weekend and this time, while unemployed he actually took him quite a bit when I needed him to. The biggest thing for me, is that I do what I need to, to get along with both of my exes for my children’s sake. We don’t post about our issues online. I hardly even talk about my youngests dad at all even though if most knew our story- they would probably tell me to put him through the wringer. What is important is that my sons all love their dads, they have relationships with them, they are loved by their dads- Both dads want to be in their lives. My ex husband is actually very good to my youngest too and treats him like his own. My point is- Kail is a petty, greedy and conflict seeking bitch. I just don’t understand how Kail feels the need to do what she does and she has WAY more $ than I do. it literally is all about the drama for her and she constantly seeks out issues with the fathers of her children. It’s really disturbing to me…
You reap what you sow.
When did Isaac start going by Elliott?
When he “came out”
I feel badly for you, Kail. You should really track down that crazy woman who picked Chris out of the herd and moved him into your house, and give her what for.
If these two hadn’t had a second child together, maybe I would feel an ounce of sympathy.
Alright kiddos, this is why we get to know someone before having a baby with them…or two babies with them!
As we hold our baited breath for baby daddy number 5…..
Kail’s main issues are that she doesn’t know to compromise or use protection. Everything has to be her way. She could have saved $1 million…
She could have probably saved another million dollars if she didnt try to sue Briana.
I’m sure that money she saved would have covered the esthetician bill Jo didn’t agree to. Acne treatment isnt a medical necessity. I understand why that would be important to a teen to get treated (and to help prevent future scars), but if the other parent doesnt agree to the appointment then youre stuck with the bill.
This is a broken person who thinks that making the outside pretty will fix the inside, but that is a fools errand. She thinks that tying all these men to her with children will make them love her but we can see how that has worked out. Find Jesus Christ and you will find the peace you seek.
She is delusional. She has lost the concept of reality for how the average person/teenager/family lives.
Jesus God Leah.
At least Jo still has his feet planted firmly on the ground.
Between lawyers and surgery, Karl sure is good at wasting money.
I really don’t like Chris, I was in line behind him at dollar general..the one that is right behind the famous Wawa lol. He was buying cigarettes.
Why was that worthy of down votes? Bunch of azz hats.
I don’t know. I think it’s hilarious.
She should have kept her legs closed. She only had lux to spite javi anyway. She deserves everything she gets.
A MILLION dollars in court and you still only have 50/50 custody with most of your baby daddi?
Didn’t she build several custom homes? Gift her teenager a brand new vehicle? And abused the legal system against her babydadii also? Like girl, shut up. Money can’t buy class, and she made that money by exploiting her personal life and the lives of her children. Basically exploiting the lives of everyone she even briefly associates with.
I mean… if only this could have been prevented?
As a mother, I could not imagine having to share my children outside my home like this. I have been blessed to keep our family unit intact. However, were I in her shoes, I have zero doubt that i would do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING to handle my own issues. So that I could work out issues with the fathers of my children. It’s wild that anyone would need to spend this much time or money on “fighting baby daddies in court” and I don’t see it as any different than Jenelle’s 5,000 court appearances. I could never live this way and I would never ever allow my children to either. It’s truly astounding at her age, that she still can’t figure this out. Mother first, man hating control freak second. It’s common knowledge that should have developed with age. Should have..
I could not agree more! It’s baffling that she hasn’t taken steps to just decide to STFU and move along for her children’s sake, instead of causing drama by taking EVERY single issue to social media.
I call BS on the million. I can’t stand her and her delusions of grandeur.
Her podcasts really make enough money to support this lifestyle of lawyers and luxuries? And enough to maintain such a lifestyle for the next 20 years? She’s one of the few TM characters who hasn’t reported financial trouble, but girl spends like there’s no tomorrow.
She owns a production company amd jas published books as well. She has money.
Yeh I cannot for the life of me understand how she has so much money
Hmmmm, maybe dont go making kids with unstable guys you chase after to boost your ego. Maybe be safe until your stable, married for a few years before bring new kids in after he first split. She has all the control over her body.
And no kids need esthician services, i just cant. Sounds like my brothers ex, and she is still a hot mess!
