<p id=”par-2_40″><em>Teen Mom</em> star Jenelle Evans and David Eason are officially on the path to divorce. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jenelle-evans-officially-files-for-separation-from-david-eason-cites-refusal-to-work-and-substance-abuse-issues.html/”>Jenelle filed for legal separation</a> in February 2024 but can’t file for divorce until a year has passed due to North Carolina state law. </p>
<p id=”par-3_54″>In Jenelle’s court complaint for separation from David, she brought up marital issues, including the murder of her dog in 2019, his drinking habits, his refusal to work, and his strangulation of her son, Jace. She also brought up David’s text conversations with his ex-wife, calling them “criminal conversations,” according to <a href=”https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/10573631/teen-mom-jenelle-evans-separate-david-eason-substance-abuse/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Sun</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-4_77″>“Throughout the duration of the marriage of the parties, the defendant has exhibited concerning, and at times disturbing, behavior towards the plaintiff,” Jenelle’s filing stated. ” … During the marriage of the parties, defendant’s excessive use of alcohol was burdensome and rendered plaintiff’s life intolerable. Defendant would regularly drink and drive and spend excess money on alcohol — money which he does not earn and which could otherwise go toward the financial well-being of the minor children.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_67″>A source close to Jenelle told <a href=”https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/10691763/jenelle-evans-packs-up-david-eason-belongings-jace-elated/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Sun</a> that she spent a week in early March 2024 packing up David’s belongings. “It looks like Jenelle is really leaving David this time,” the source stated. “Last week, she spent a bunch of time he spent packing up his belongings, and she’s now trying to figure out how to get him his stuff without having to interact with him.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_45″>As for Jenelle’s son, Jace, 14, he’s reportedly “elated” about his mother’s decision. “Jace is absolutely elated David seems to be going for real this time,” the source added. “It’s a huge sigh of relief for him after everything he went through these past months.”</p>
