A long custody battle involving Jenelle Evans’ oldest son, Jace, has come to an end.
According to court documents obtained by The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, the case involving Jenelle, 34, her ex Andrew Lewis and mom Barbara Evans was “voluntarily dismissed” on Monday, October 19.
A hearing that had been set for November 9 was also canceled. (Us has reached out to Jenelle for comment.)
Earlier this month, Jenelle — who shares Jace, 17, with Andrew — shared an update on the teen’s living situation during a TikTok Live.
“Jace is doing good. He is living with my mom,” she shared. “I know a lot of you guys are like, ‘Oh, my God, it’s because he doesn’t want to be with you’ or ‘Oh, because no one wants him to be there.’ Well, Jace is used to growing up kind of like a single child because, you know, [he was] living with my mom. And then coming to my house every weekend.”
The former Teen Mom 2 star continued, “When I got custody and the dynamic of him coming into a household with two other siblings, things just didn’t — and I’m not going into details — but it just did not work out and I tried and tried and tried. And my mom tried for years. And, just, like, his mental health got the best of him.”
Jenelle also shares son Kaiser, 12, with ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffin and daughter Ensley, 9, with ex-husband David Eason.
Earlier this summer, Jace left a facility, where he was able to work on himself and focus on his emotional well-being.
Teen Mom’s Cory Wharton is sharing a glimpse into what went wrong in his relationship with ex-girlfriend Taylor Selfridge. “I made a mistake. I get that, but it was a nine-year relationship and there’s so many emotions, so many laughs and so many memories,” Wharton, 35, said via his Instagram Story on Thursday, October 8. […]
At the time, Jenelle claimed, “My mother and I have mutually agreed upon his living situation and circumstances.”
In a rare social media update of his own, Jace chose to address some of the speculation surrounding his living situation.
“My grandma, she’s doing pretty good,” Jace shared during an August 18 Instagram Live. “I’m over here just living my life. Everyone was happy to have me back home. I’ve been doing my best.”
The high school student also confirmed he has a relationship with his younger siblings and they are “doing pretty good.”
“I considered [living] by myself, honestly, but I’m at my grandma’s because I’ve got a job,” he shared. “I’ve got everything I need to get done. I’m about to be done with school.”
Jenelle rose to fame in 2010 on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant, which documented the birth of Jace and her tumultuous relationship with his father. Cameras continued to roll as she expanded her family on Teen Mom 2 with the birth of Kaiser in 2014 and Ensley in 2017.
