Jenelle Evans has once again put legal distance between her and her estranged husband David Eason.
The Ashley can exclusively reveal that the former Teen Mom: The Next Chapter star recently filed for and received a renewal of her existing domestic violence protective order against her former soulmate, David. The fired reality star was, once again, required to fly back to North Carolina to attend the hearing, which took place November 21. (As The Ashley previously told you, Jenelle flew from her home in Vegas to North Carolina once a few weeks earlier to attend a divorce court hearing but David had it continued so he could get himself a lawyer.)
According to court documents exclusively obtained by The Ashley, Jenelle managed to just make the deadline to file for a renewal before her previous domestic violence protective order against David expired. (She did, however, have to obtain an Ex Parte Order to bridge the gap between the days that the original order expired and the day of the hearing on November 21.)
“There’s a protective order right now and I don’t feel safe, my kids don’t feel safe, and [David] just keeps violating it,” Jenelle told the judge during the November 21 hearing, in audio obtained by The Ashley.

David— who was once again a ‘no-show’ to the hearing— has been legally barred from going near Jenelle, her three kids and their property on The Land since Jenelle took out her first domestic violence protective order on him on May 16.
Jenelle listed David’s attempt to heist motorbikes and other expensive items from The Land back in October as one of the reasons she needed her protective order against him renewed.
“David Eason went to my property and broke into, broke my gate, broke into my building and tried to take a bunch of four-wheelers and dirt bikes,” Jenelle can be heard telling the judge in audio of the court hearing.
On the court documents filed by Jenelle’s attorney to renew the protective order, Jenelle discusses how David’s actions during the heist made her feel unsafe.
“[Jenelle] is in continued fear of [David] because [David] has entered [Jenelle’s] property when ordered to stay away from the same, specifically her home [on The Land],” Jenelle’s court documents read. “While on the property, [David] removed [Jenelle’s] surveillance cameras, causing [Jenelle] even further concern.”
(The documents still list David’s address as the couple’s broken-down boat. However, he no longer lives on the “boaterhome” and has been living at the home of his girlfriend Kenleigh Heatwole for the last several months.)
The Order to Renew states that the judge felt that there is good reason to renew Jenelle’s protective order against David. In fact, the judge renewed it for the maximum term– two years!— meaning David won’t be allowed to go near Jenelle until November 13, 2026! (He is also barred from seeing her sons Jace or Kaiser.)
Interestingly, though, he is not legally barred from seeing Ensley, the daughter he shares with Jenelle. Although the previous domestic violence protective order included Ensley, the judge specifically stated that all provisions of the May 2024 protective order stand and are renewed, except for the award of temporary custody of Ensley. It appears that the issue of custody of Ensley is being handled by its own separate court case and will no longer fall under this protective order.
In August, Jenelle was awarded temporary custody of the seven-year-old after David failed to show up to the court hearing.
The fired Teen Mom 2 dad was declared “not fit and proper to have custody of the child” by a North Carolina judge. (At the hearing, Jenelle stated that David had not tried to contact Ensley for months.)
David will be spending plenty of time in court this holiday season. The employment-challenged former reality TV star is scheduled to appear in court next week to face the criminal charges against him stemming from his break-in on The Land in October. As The Ashley exclusively told you, David has been charged with violating Jenelle’s previous protective order against him, as well as domestic criminal trespassing. (Both are misdemeanors.) He was arrested on November 8 for the crimes.
The Ashley will be adding to this story soon. Stay tuned…

What did Jenelle do with all those animals before moving to Las Vegas? Did she sell them? Donate them? Or let them starve to death alone?
Whatever the answer is, it would be one more reason to despise her. Extremely unlikely she made the effort to find loving homes for all of the animals. Tough to say who she treats worse – her kids or animals.
IDK yall, anyone else watched Jenelle’s storyline since it began and feel like maybe she’s a little “slow” or is it just me? I don’t personally think she’s firing on all cylinders.
Jenelle isn’t any more scared of him than she was for all those years, standing by his side, calling him the greatest catch. She is just vindictive and is using all she can against him. I strongly dislike David but I’m fed up with seeing this woman skate through life with riches and getting everything she wants. I’d love to see her lose the kids, her home, and all her belongings. Her and David should be together, on their broke down boat, begging for scraps on TikTok live.
It’s ironic, really…. Having all these protective orders against multiple former soulmates when we all know she uses the legal system as leverage for control whenever her relationships start to go south. I feel like most people should have a protection order against HER.
I love that his girlfriends last name is “heatwole” it just adds to the white trash-ness of this case.
@hdas ~ ol’ warthole 🐗🕳️ adds another layer of trash 🗑️ for sure!
David’s behavior has not changed since the day she met him! She was not afraid of him and defended him all of those years and now that she is moved on to a new soulmate, now David scares her and she worries for her kids. All of the times he roughed up Kaiser or Jace, not a word! All of the holes in the walls that were documented and 911 calls, nothing. She is a joke!

This wasn’t supposed to be a reply to you, sorry about that!
And when in the hell does he go to court for strangling Jace? That would be my top priority if he were my son.
But the children are never a priority in Janelle-land.
Legit curiousity- did judge grant Chinelle everything because David did not show up?
They both suck. As parents, as people. Ugh
This couldn’t possibly have happened. The media is lying to you. Dont believe anything unless you hear it from me. David never does anything wrong.
😂😂
I’m glad Jenelle and her kids are safe away from David, but she also defended the POS for years.
So David can strangle and beat her son in front of her and she does nothing. Gets online and praises David as the bestest husband and father in the land. Until she decides she wants August, September, October whatever his name is and David tries to steal dirt bikes and four wheelers….thats where Jenelle draws the line. She has her priorities. Too bad none of them are her kids.
His name is December this month.
I would be embarrassed being her always running to the cops. Like why are you wasting ppls time
Too bad you didn’t gaf about your own kids “not feeling safe” around the POS swamp thing you married and even blaming them (especially Jace) for his abuse.
I don’t feel a little bit sorry for you, Jenelle. You deserve everything he’s putting you through.
In the Rhine / Mack drama, even though Mack kinda sucks, she didn’t deserve what Rhine did to the house. Though Mack has made mistakes, unlike Janelle, she actually seems to care about her kids.
Janelle has proven since the time Jace was a baby to be in the words of her own mother Babs “the worst POS mother ever.” As long as David can no longer harm the kids, Janelle deserves David’s antics like going onto the land and stealing things. Even if he were to trash the house on the land like Rhine did, she deserves it. Although it would suck for the kids if they needed to live there again after she’s too broke to stay in Vegas and it doesn’t last with Daniel. And sadly Jace already did a number on the Vegas house. And Janelle deserves that and the fees her landlord will hit her with. Sucks for Kaiser and Ensley, but Jace’s rage is a direct result of Janelle’s shittiness as a mother to Jace.
