In a recent court ruling, “Teen Mom” star Jenelle Evans has been awarded a restraining order for herself and her children against David Eason, her now-estranged husband. A judge made this decision during a court session last Thursday, providing Jenelle, age 32, and her three children protection from David, who is 35.
As exclusively reported by The U.S. Sun, this legal measure has been taken after a series of court appearances and filings by Evans. The couple has made headlines over their tumultuous relationship and this recent development is a significant measure towards ensuring Jenelle’s and her children’s safety.
According to Jenelle’s attorney, Brandon Pettijohn, David was not represented by an attorney during the day-long trial that led to the order of protection Jenelle has secured against him.
David had been served last month with the summons for this order of protection and the complaint for separation brought by Jenelle. The U.S. Sun captured photographs of the service process taking place on the boat David has been residing on since their earlier separation this year.
DOG DEATH & ABUSIVE ALLEGATIONS
Many allegations of violence and emotional abuse have been brought forward by Jenelle, including David running over a puppy during an argument, an action witnessed by his 16-year-old daughter Maryssa. This event mirrors an allegation from 2019 when David was accused of shooting the family’s French bulldog, Nugget. David later admitted to the act in an interview with People.
DAVID’S ALLEGED ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR
Jenelle also accused David of being emotionally abusive towards her and their children, including saying hurtful things to them and throwing insults. She added that David has told her to end her life in the past.
The former couple shares a daughter together, along with Jenelle’s two sons from previous relationships.
Jenelle’s allegations also include references to instances from the past, like an October 2018 incident where she called the police on David for physically attacking her. This pattern adds to her request for protection from David.
