Leah Messer has lost the right to have full custody of her twin daughters Aliannah and Aleeah, but it does not mean that the "Teen Mom 2" star will give up her fight for her kids.
In the latest issue of Us Weekly, the 23-year-old West Virginia native broke her silence about losing her kids to her ex-husband Corey Simms. "It was a slap in the face," she said.
A West Virginia court judge awarded the full primary custody of their twins to Simms on Oct. 7 after he accused Messer of being an unfit mother after she habitually took their daughters to school late. A source even told the publication that "Leah just wasn't getting them to school. They were missing and they were tardy."
The reality show star insisted that the tardiness incident only happened once, and even asked for a school-board meeting to air her side. "I talked to the superintendent," Messer claimed, "and I'm sending them the [time-stamped] pictures I took to prove the girls were not tardy. They're going to take them off."
But since the court still ruled that Messer cannot take care of her kids properly, it seems like the meeting with the school authorities did not go well according to her plans.
Messer also revealed during the interview that she strongly believes that Simms only filed to get the primary custody of their kids because of the monthly $800 child support that he had to provide when they were still staying with her. She also claimed that his new wife Miranda has something to do with his decision to take the kids away from her. "When Miranda and him first met, that's when he started the full-custody thing," the MTV star stated.
At the moment, Simms and his wife are waiting for the arrival of their new baby girl in January, and they will call her Remi.
Messer also shares the custody of her two-year-old daughter Adalynn with her other ex-husband Jeremy Calvert, and she still hopes to share partial custody of the twins with Simms in the future.
