Ryan Edwards is aiming to walk away from his divorce from wife Mackenzie Standifer with more than $300,000 in marital property– including half of the equity from the former couple’s home that the Teen Mom dad allegedly destroyed in February 2023.
In court documents obtained by YouTuber Elle Bee detailing the soon-to-be former spouses’ proposed division of marital property, it was revealed that Ryan is requesting that he be awarded a Ford F150 truck (valued at $25,000), a Harley Davidson motorcycle (valued at $15,000) and a covered trailer (valued at $7,000). The father of four is also asking that Mackenzie pay him $75,000 for tools and $100,000 for a “race car,” as well as half of the equity of their marital home, which he claims to be more than $40,000.
The home Ryan is referring to in the court documents– which was purchased in 2019 in Mackenzie’s name only, despite she and Ryan being married at the time– happens to be the home that Ryan allegedly destroyed in early 2023, which Mackenzie has since completely restored.
Despite Mackenzie paying to repair the damage allegedly caused by Ryan, the ‘Teen Mom’ dad is requesting that he and Mackenzie split equity of the home, which is listed at $80,250 total.
In addition to half of their home’s equity, Ryan is requesting that Mackenzie be awarded a Jeep Cherokee and a jet ski– the latter of which Ryan previously accused Mackenzie of selling or disposing of.
As The Ashley told you in February, Ryan was ordered to begin paying Mackenzie $1,553 in monthly child support for their two children, Jagger and Stella. (Ryan also shares 16-year-old son Bentley with ex Maci Bookout and newborn daughter Presley with fiancée Amanda Conner.)
In court documents filed earlier this year, Ryan listed his monthly income at $16,010, while his “good faith estimate” of Mackenzie’s monthly income was listed as $4,166. Ryan reportedly earns a $35,000 paycheck for each episode of ‘Teen Mom’ that he appears in and, as The Ashley previously reported, he also began working a “regular” job in August, earning approximately $27 an hour as a diesel mechanic.
While Ryan is seemingly doing well financially, he claimed in February to be in massive debt, revealing in court documents that he had $18,000 in credit card debt, around $2,200 in his personal checking account (as of September 2024) and only $57.47 in a joint checking account he has with his mother, Jen Edwards. He also indicated that he didn’t have a savings account or retirement plan and claimed to have debt from his 2020 and 2021 income taxes.
In the latest court documents, Ryan proposed that he and Mackenzie each take responsibility for half of the tax liability (the amount of which was not disclosed) and that he take responsibility for two Capital One credit cards– one obtained in 2017 that has a balance of $4,200 and another obtained in 2018 with a balance of $4,500.
Mackenzie has not yet responded to Ryan’s requests. However, she and Ryan are due in court next week to address the case, as well as the contempt charges Ryan is trying to file on Mackenzie.
