Are Jenelle Evans and David Eason splitting? 'Teen Mom' star's husband to file for divorce after him and his daughter gets kicked out of house
OAK ISLAND, NORTH CAROLINA: Jenelle Evans' husband, David Eason, is preparing to file for divorce after she kicked him and his child Maryssa out of their home. The shocking turn of events that occurred in the days leading up to David and Maryssa being told to leave the prior 'Teen Mom 2' star's North Carolina home on what fans refer to as "The Land".
A source told The US Sun, "David has been staying on Jenelle's boat over the past week, but then on Monday, things began to get heated. Two days ago, Jenelle started texting Maryssa that since her father was no longer at the house, she could no longer live there, either."
According to the insider, Jenelle texted Maryssa, "I've raised you since you were little, but now I have custody of Jace now, and he's my priority."
She continued to text the child, pressing her to go, according to the insider.
"Tuesday night at 9 pm, Jenelle knocked on Maryssa's bedroom door, and said to her in person, 'I really need you to find somewhere else to go, you need to leave your room key and go in the morning,'" the source continued.
On February 21, Maryssa grabbed her key and went to school as normal, as David had instructed, but Jenelle texted her throughout the day, according to the source. When Maryssa arrived home from school, she packed her belongings and left, according to the source.
"David is supposed to be filing for divorce sometime today-his plan is to get ahead of Jenelle filing," a source told The US Sun.
YouTuber Elle Bee first reported 'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans’ split from David Eason
Earlier on February 22, YouTuber Elle Bee said that David had been kicked out of Jenelle's house.
According to the content creator, Jenelle kicked David out of the house last week after reclaiming custody of her adolescent son, Jace Evans. He has reportedly been sleeping aboard the couple's boat, but this might change shortly.
David Eason accused of 'strangling' 'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans’ son Jace
David is being charged with felony assault by strangulation for an attack on Jenelle's oldest son, Jace. In the aftermath of the alleged incident, a Child Protective Services investigation was launched, and Jace remained in CPS care until last week, when the case was abruptly dropped and Jenelle recovered custody.
According to many sources, David and Jace had a no-contact order, so when Jenelle regained custody of the teen, there were concerns about David's presence in the family. David is currently awaiting his first hearing in Superior Court after his case was elevated to a felony following a grand jury indictment in January.
Jenelle's husband has been accused of "strangling" Jace in an incident in late September. The father of three was first charged with misdemeanor child abuse in October, but an extra felony charge of assault by strangulation was added after he was indicted.
Columbus County's Director of the Department of Social Services, which controls the CPS division, acknowledged that Jace's case had not been closed, saying, "Not at this time. Not without my attorney representing us."

"So all allegations against me and my husband have been officially dropped," the former 'Teen Mom 2' star said, forgetting to mention her husband's continuing criminal prosecution for allegedly assaulting the adolescent.
"I wasn't going to share this information. I was actually going to keep it private and just kind of give a vague statement. But right now, I need to control the narrative," she said.
