Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans gets full custody of son after more than a decade

Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans has been granted full custody of her 13-year-old son Jace after more than a decade.

She told fans: “Words can't describe how happy I truly am. Our family is complete now! Thank you mom.”

In a statement about her new custody agreement, she told US Weekly: “My mom and I decided together to grant full custody back to me because we want to build our relationship back as mother and daughter.

“We have officially signed the papers on Thursday, March 16th at the courthouse.

“It's a done deal!”

Both women are also keen to have Jace learn about ‘boy things’ from his stepfather David Eason, 34, who also has two children from a previous relationship.

“She also thinks it's important for Jace to be around a father figure to learn "boy things" and have "men talk,” said the reality star, adding her mum ‘has seen the way David parents [her] children’.

It’s not the first time Evans has had to fight for custody of her children.

As well as a decade-long battle for Jace, Evans briefly lost custody of her other children after an incident involving her French Bulldog, Nugget.

Back in 2019, the dog allegedly bit her youngest child Ensley and the children were removed shortly after this – spending a year away from their mother.

Her and husband David also briefly separated after this, but thankfully the family seems more united than ever.
