The fight for custody of Jenelle Evans‘ eldest son Jace continues, but The Ashley can exclusively reveal that the court hearing has been rescheduled yet again.
As The Ashley previously told you, Jenelle was set to go head-to-head with Jace’s dad Andrew Lewis and mom Barbara back in May to decide if Jenelle would retain full custody of Jace. Barbara and Andrew teamed up earlier this year to fight against Jenelle, with Barb filing for primary custody of Jace, and Andrew filing for secondary. The hearing was originally set for May, then postponed to July and was recently reset again, this time for September.
It appears that all three parties— Barb, Jenelle and Andrew— agreed to the rescheduled hearing, and all parties have been notified that they are to be present in the courtroom on September 9.
While it is unknown if Jace will be present in court, it’s possible that the court hearing could have been rescheduled so that Jace could appear and voice his opinion as to where he wants to live. (By the time of the September 9 court hearing, Jace will be 17 years old.)
As The Ashley has previously reported, Jenelle sent Jace to a camp for troubled teens back in March. At the time, she refused to tell Barb or Andrew where she had placed Jace (but they eventually found out). In May, Jenelle posted photos of herself with Jace at the camp during a “family day”— much to the dismay of Andrew, who called her out for “exploiting” Jace for attention.
Although Jace’s situation has changed since then, it will soon have to be determined where he will go once he leaves his current location. As fans know, Jenelle is currently letting her ex-husband-turned-current-boooooooyfriend, David Eason, shack up with her. This means that Jace would be unable to go back to living with Jenelle unless Jenelle gives Big Davey the boot, due to the fact that David is not allowed to have any contact with Jace, due to the child abuse charges currently pending against David. (Don’t ya hate when that happens?)
Anyway, the hearing on September 9 will also address motions filed against Jenelle earlier this year by Barbara and/or Andrew. Back in April, one (or both) of them filed a “Motion to Show Cause” against Jenelle, stating that they believe Jenelle violated an order of the court involving Jace. Jenelle will have to explain to the court why she should not be held in contempt of the custody court order.
According to court records obtained by The Ashley at the time the motion was filed, Barbara and/or Andrew have also filed an exhibit to show proof that Jenelle has allegedly violated the court order.
In other court news, David’s jury trial for his child abuse/assault by strangulation charges (which stem from an incident in 2023 when the then-14-year-old Jace stated that David strangled him) is also approaching. Mr. Jenelle Evans is set to stand trial starting on August 24.
Jenelle recently denied that the incident ever took place.
Stay tuned…

Jenelle Evans and her child abusing, animal murdering man should both be banned from spending any unsupervised time with animals and children for the rest of their lives.
Yeah, probably continued because of lieutenant Jan’s recent fake surgery. Anyone with critical thinking knows that was planned on purpose so that she could use medical reasons as an excuse to further delay legal consequences.
A fucking knee surgery for an issue many people have that doesn’t even need fixing. Rocking a knee brace and ankle boot for 2 knee stitches. I actually can’t believe we have to share the world with pieces of shit like this
Everyone feels sorry for this kid now, but wait until he starts abusing people or gets arrested for his first adult felony (because he already has a juvenile record). THIS type of upbringing is what creates a career criminal. Just saying. Will yall still be wishing him well once he continues to be a criminal as an adult?
I hope Jace enrolls in the military on his 18th birthday and gets far, far away from this foolery.
Collin Gosselin stated the Marines kicked him out of boot camp due to him having a history of being in an institution.
Obviously we dont know exactly what went down, but if that is true, the military wouldn’t allow Jace to join.
I do hope Jace heals and gets far away though.
It’s true. Same thing happened to my nephew.
My heart aches for Jace. We have seen such deep sadness in that boy since day one. He never stood a chance at normalcy. I hope age 18 brings peace to his life when he can decide what’s best for himself, whatever that looks like, for his own growth and healing.
The worst mom of the year award goes to this pos. The judge will wont give her custody
