Teen Mom star Amber Portwood has regained care of her two-year-old daughter Leah, but RadarOnline.com has learned that the baby’s father, Gary Shirley, isn’t pleased that Portwood’s new boyfriend Clinton stays at her place with them.

“Gary really misses Leah and hopes that Amber takes good care of her,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
“He really doesn’t like the fact that Clinton stays there with them.”

According to insiders, Shirley worries about Leah while she’s with Portwood because he’s not confident in her mothering skills.
“The first night Amber had Leah back she was blowing up Gary’s phone asking him a million questions about what to do and how to deal with Leah,” the source said.

“She kept asking him, ‘What do I do?’ and of course Gary’s such a nice guy, he walked her through everything.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, after having Leah stripped from her care and given to Shirley last week, Portwood got her back on Tuesday but is still being monitored by the Indiana Department of Child Services.

“Gary is Leah’s father and he just doesn’t think it’s right that Clinton is around her all the time now. Even though he doesn’t live with Amber, he’s always there,” the source said.
“He thinks Clinton is just using Amber because he works at Bob Evans and is broke. He even asked Amber to pay some of his rent.”

A source also told RadarOnline.com that if the Department of Child Services shows up and finds the living situation unsuitable in any way, Leah “goes back to her father.”
Portwood, 20, was charged with domestic violence earlier this month after an aggressive assault on Shirley was caught by MTV cameras while Leah stood at her feet.

I usually think a child belongs with there Mom, NOT in this case. Amber is white trash & you can tell Leah is closer to her Dad, she sobs when he leaves. Why isn't Amber in jail for domestic abuse??? Gary would be if he had done what she did.

yeah, kids get step parents. but they need to be stable enough to be in a productive relationship. not some nasty useless dude that cares nothing about your child. do youreally think she's ready to try & settle down?

cant you see she needs to be focusing 100% on leah. all i want to do is love on my children & be with them. i couldnt imagine worrying with a skanky guy while my children needed me. she has plenty of time for that later. leah needs her mom now.

So why isn't that fool Gary filing for sole custody of Leah?? I just don't get it. He whines and knows what whack job Amber is but is doing nothing to get his daughter out of that mess. If it comes down to Gary v. Amber, he'll get it hands down

Gonna hev to call BULLSHT on this. Amber had custody of Leah for 2 years..gary had one week.. and she's begging for advice? DOUBTFUL.

I work with children's services in Canada and I have no idea what this agency is doing. There is no way that Amber should have gotten the child back so quickly. Your system defies me.

I don't get it either. It's as if a clean house is all that matters. How stupid. This woman is clearly a mental case with no self-control what so ever.
