Is Stephan And Kayla’s Co-Parenting Relationship Doomed On Young And Pregnant?

Considering Kayla and Stephan are no longer a couple on Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant, they’re doing pretty well in keeping things civil for the sake of their son Izaiah. Although a new court-ordered arrangement, in which the state required Stephan to pay child support, could take these two a couple of steps backward in their co-parenting relationship.


On tonight’s episode, Kayla instructed her friend and mom she felt “awkward’ and “nervous” to be going to court with her ex, especially because it was the state of Illinois (and not her) that mandated the hearing.


And soon after three hours in court, things got more awkward — the judge ruled that Stephan must get a job and pay $128 a month toward his son’s expenses.


“That’s like a pack of diapers,” Kayla instructed her best friend Annabelle.


She added that “Stephan was cranky because...They grouped him to find a job. If doesn’t, he might would be in contempt of court... I know he’s pissed now, however I feel like it’s good for him.”


And Kayla was right. Stephan was mad with what went down however also felt as though Kayla had more to do with the child support request than she said.


“I’m skeptical of Kayla," he told a pal. "I feel like she understands more than what she be portraying...[But] my objective is to create ensure that Izaiah is going to grow up right.”
