Jenelle Evanshas reportedly lost custody of her three children for the time being after her husband David Easonallegedly shot and killed her dog.
On Tuesday, E! Newsreportedthat a judge temporarily ruled that the formerTeen Mom 2star and Eason will not regain custody of her kids.
The 27-year-old is mom to sons Jace, 9 (whom she shares with exAndrew Lewis) andKaiser, 4 (whom she shares with ex Nathan Griffith). She also shares 2-year-old daughter Ensley with Eason.
“Of course I would like for Jenelle to get them all back eventually, but certain things have to happen first,” Evans’ mother Barbara Evans, who currently has custody of Ensley and Jace, told E! News.
Multiple people testified against the couple, including Griffith, throughout four days in court,according toTMZ. The judge ultimately made the ruling after they determined that there were issues with Evans and Eason that put the children at risk, TMZ reports.
Currently, Eason’s daughter Maryssa is in the custody of her mother Whitney Johnson, according to E! News.
“We have no comment at this time and appreciate the concerns regarding our client and her children,” Evans’ rep continued. “We will continue to cooperate with the court and their decisions.”
Earlier this month, Evanswas firedfromTeen Mom 2,which came after Eason allegedly murdered her dog, Nugget. On May 1, Evans confirmed her dog’s death, saying on Instagram that she was “speechless” and “so sorry.”
According to the Columbus County Sheriff’s department, Griffith called the police on April 30 to request a welfare check on his son Kaiser. “The male caller referenced making sure his son was safe because his ex-fiancée’s husband shot a dog in front of him,” the public information officer told PEOPLE.
The police checked on the 4-year-old and determined he was safe. Because the call only requested the welfare check, they did not further investigate the claim that Eason shot a dog, the PIO said.
Eason allegedly shot the dog after it bit Ensley in the face. He did not return PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Weeks after her dog’s death,Evans’sons were removed from her North Carolina home.
TMZ also reported that Kaiser was taken out of Evans’ home and was living with Griffith and his paternal grandmother.
