In equity to Jenelle, that’s totally on David, who took greater than a yr to answer his estranged spouse’s divorce and custody filings.
David Eason returns hearth in authorized battle with Jenelle
However this week, David lastly discovered time in his busy schedule to answer Jenelle’s criticism.
And as anticipated, he does not intend to make this course of simple for his ex.
In courtroom paperwork obtained by The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, David requests full custody of Ensley, his seven-year-old daughter by Jenelle.
David admits that he hasn’t seen or spoken to Ensley, however he says that’s all Jenelle’s fault.
“[Jenelle] included the minor baby, Ensley Eason; due to this fact, [David] is unable to contact the minor baby…” his attorneys write in a single current submitting. “…[doing this] made it not possible for [David] to contact [Jenelle] or the minor baby….”

“It’s admitted that each events have abilities and trades which might enable them to earn an revenue enough to contribute to the help of the minor baby,” his attorneys wrote.
Jenelle tells a special story
When Jenelle took the stand in an August 2024 courtroom listening to.
“I’m seeking to have sole and authorized custody of Ensley and I believe I’m a match dad or mum,” Jenelle stated on the time.
“I believe I’ve achieved a lot of the elevating of Ensley, or all the elevating of Ensley since she’s been born, ensuring she’s wholesome and doing properly in class, and ensuring she’s in school on time, ensuring she’s in extra-curricular actions. I take note of her psychological well being.”
David didn’t attend that listening to, however he’ll in all probability want to indicate up in courtroom ultimately if he desires to win custody of Ensley.
Eason has a mile-long rap sheet and a historical past of violent conduct, so it’s unlikely that he’ll be awarded full custody of a seven-year-old.
However the upcoming authorized conflict is bound to make Jenelle’s life hell, and that’s in all probability cause sufficient for David.
