At the end of last month, during a Teen Mom OG: Featured Moment, Portwood opened up about her decision to file for more custody of 6-year-old Leah.
“I don’t feel any less of a mother, because I know I’m a good mom to her, and we have an amazing relationship and anybody watching this can see it, but I want to feel like I have some control," Portwood said, via MTV News. "I see [Leah], and nothing is wrong with that, but I want to have a bit of say-so in everything that goes on in her life, not just because…I don’t want to be completely separated from her. “
Portwood also said Leah would have no trouble adjusting to a joint custody situation between her and Shirley.
