Amber Portwood Loses Custody of 4-Year-Old Son
Indiana Judge Grants Primary Physical and Sole Legal Custody to Ex Andrew Glennon
Portwood Believes Mental Illness Was Used Against Her
Teen Mom star Amber Portwood has lost custody of her 4-year-old son, James, to her ex-boyfriend, Andrew Glennon. An Indiana judge ruled that Glennon will have primary physical and sole legal custody of the child.
Portwood has expressed her disappointment with the ruling. She believes that her mental illness was used against her in court. In a statement, she said, "I have been open about my struggles with mental illness, and I feel like that was used against me in this case."
Glennon, on the other hand, has said that he is "relieved" by the judge's decision. He believes that it is in the best interest of James to live with him.
The custody battle between Portwood and Glennon has been a bitter one. The two have traded accusations of abuse and neglect. Portwood was arrested in July 2019 for domestic battery against Glennon. She was later sentenced to five years probation.
The custody battle is now over, but the fallout from it is likely to continue. Portwood is appealing the judge's decision. She has also filed a motion for a protective order against Glennon.
The outcome of this case is a reminder that mental illness can have a significant impact on a person's life. It is important to seek help if you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues.
