TEEN Mom Jenelle Evans and husband David Eason are under investigation by child protection services after her son Jace vanished for the third time, The U.S. Sun has exclusively learned.
Jenelle, 31, was embroiled in a custody battle for Jace with her mother Barbara for over a decade.
What happened between Barbara and Jenelle Evans?
The Teen Mom star gave full custody of Jace to her mother Barbara back in 2010 after she was charged for marijuana possession and breaking-and-entering.
Beginning in 2016, the mother-daughter duo entered an intense legal battle.
Though Jenelle had all court documents sealed, Jenelle was very vocal about Jace's "out of control behavior" and often said that Barbara was unfit to take care of Jace.
Jenelle and Barbara are no longer on speaking terms.
Does Jenelle have custody over Jace?
Jenelle was officially granted full custody of Jace in March 2023.
The new custody arrangement became official after the reality TV star and her mother signed the papers on March 16 after more than a decade.
She wrote in the caption of a video of herself signing the documents and shedding tears of joy: "ITS OFFICIAL!
"Words can't describe how happy I truly am.
