Teen Mom Amber Portwood’s ex accused of offering fans chance to meet son James, 3, for $10K in bitter custody battle
TEEN Mom Amber Portwood's baby daddy Andrew Glennon has been accused of offering fans a chance to meet their 3-year-old son James for $10,000 in the former couple's contentious custody battle, The Sun can exclusively report.
During the Teen Mom exes' two-day court testimony last month, it was alleged that Andrew, 37, had offered fans a chance to meet with him and the toddler if they donated thousands to his GoFundMe.
During Andrew's testimony, he claimed he was fundraising to create a game called Preggie Brain, a "pregnancy trivia card game."
The dad of one said: "It was inspired by the birth of James, and reading all the pregnancy books and I wanted there to be a finding easy way to get all the same information in a card game.
"So, it's been a passion project of mine, I guess you could say."
Teen Mom OG star Amber's attorney then zeroed in on the GoFundMe Andrew set up to help fund the game's production.
He said he created the GoFundMe to "see what response would be and it was nothing. Somebody donated $25 and I reimbursed them."
The attorney asked him "Now, based on levels of funding, you were offering opportunities to people that provided funding to this game is that correct?"
Andrew replied he had.

"And specifically for $10,000, you agreed that anyone could be flown out to have dinner with the creators and meet the little angel who started this all that's referring to James, is that correct?" Amber's attorney pressed.
Andrew hesitatingly answered he had again.
Amber's attorney pressed further: "So, if someone was willing to pay $10,000 You were willing to let them have access to James, is that correct?"
He replied: "No, no, no, not entirely. I mean, the way that I thought of it was, since I'm always in the care of James, that if I meet anybody, James is always gonna be with me.
"But there's no such timeshares with my child or anything like that, in the sense."
She pressed on: "But you are specifically allowing access to your child if someone gives you enough money, is that correct?"
"No, absolutely not," he replied.

Amber's attorney continued: "But you agree that for $10,000, that they can have a night with you and James, correct?"
Andrew said "No," with the attorney quickly questioning: "Well, that's what you advertised on your GoFundMe, is that correct?"
"Again, I was trying to just see if there's any interest in this game," he said.
"So are you indicating that if had there been interest and money had been provided that you would have not allowed these people access to you and James?" she asked.
Andrew replied: "I don't know."
The attorney also asked if Andrew would use James to obtain funds if he is allowed to relocate to California, which Andrew immediately shut down.
As The Sun first reported, Andrew has petitioned the court to be allowed to relocate with James to California, where his family resides.
ANDREW'S BIG PLAN
Andrew has told the court should he be allowed to relocate, he and James would live with his mother, Charmaine Witus, in her $5million Malibu mansion.
He currently lives with their son in a home Amber owns in Indiana, while she is living in a rental nearby.
During his testimony, Andrew was asked about the proposed parenting time schedule for Amber.
He said he would allow her visitation: " Three every month, three times a month for 10 hours at a time."
He also asked for no overnights, and that her parenting time be applied only in California.
During the hearing, Amber's ex also testified that he was unable to find a job in Indiana, but that he had three job offers on the table in California.
There was one real estate job offer, and the other two offers were sales-based, which were submitted to the court as evidence.
During the cross examination, Andrew admitted that he had not taken his real estate exam yet.
CUSTODY WAR
