The ABC has pulled a documentary about teen mums from its schedule on Monday due to a "late legal matter".
Plumpton High Babies: Ten Years On was due to air Monday but the ABC said it had to postpone the broadcast.

The film is a follow-up to the 2002 documentary which looked at a teenage mothers program in the western Sydney suburb led by the headmaster Glenn Sergeant of Plumpton High, who received an Order of Australia medal for his work.
The program aimed to keep young mothers in school.
The documentary has already been dogged by lengthy delays in bringing it to air with filming on the follow-up, which updates the stories of three of the mums featured in the original, completed in 2012.
The director of both documentaries, Aviva Ziegler, said the film had been a "labour of love".
"Plumpton High Babies: 10 Years On represents a relationship spanning over 15 years, with a wonderful and compassionate Headmaster and a group of young women I have come to know and care about, as I watched them and their children grow," Ziegler said.
"I am so sorry they won't be seeing their stories told and their voices heard tonight. But I do hope their lives, and Glenn Sargeant's commitment to giving them every opportunity through education with a school program that supported them and their community, will nevertheless still be seen very soon on the ABC."
A spokeswoman for the ABC said they were not able to talk about the legal reason behind the postponed air date.
In a statement, the ABC said it would announce a new date for the broadcast soon.
