Will Jenelle Evans’ arrest keep her from regaining custody of Jace?

Jun, 27, 2012 | AUTHOR: Lindsay; | Related : Jenelle Evans, Teen Mom

Jenelle Evans had one heck of a weekend. After getting into a fight with her fiancé, Gary Head, police were called leading to both of their arrests. Evans and Head were both charged with assault and drug possession. This Teen Mom 2 star’s chances at getting custody of her young son back from her mother aren’t looking good — or are they?

Even though Evans’ charges are quite serious, they won’t affect her standing with her son — fortunately for her. “He is not going to be taken away from her,” a certified law specialist told Hollywood Life. “She won’t automatically lose her kid.”

Evans had recently been trying to get full custody of her son back from her mother. She got off of probation in April and since then has steered clear of trouble — until this weekend. Her drama-filled relationship with Gary Head has hit an all time low and even though Jace is still very young, he may still be negatively impacted by it all.

“Stress in the life as a small child can have a detrimental influence on their emotional and even intellectual growth. Too much production of stress hormones can interfere with a child’s ability to concentrate and pay attention and learn new things. It also makes them uneasy and anxious,” a child psychologist and parenting expert says regarding Evans’ son, Jace.

Jenelle Evans was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana up to 1/2 oz., simple assault, and simple possession of schedule IV controlled substance — which was reportedly Klonopin.

This single incident aside, Jenelle will definitely have to make some major life changes if she does ever want to have full custody of Jace, but thankfully for her, that door doesn’t appear to be completely closed in the future.

I’m not sure why anyone is questioning if she will get Jace back when the obvious thing is that she shouldn’t have custody of him. How can she provide a safe and healthy environment for him if she can’t provide one for herself. She looooves drama, drugs, and constantly is in abusive relationships. She is not fit to raise a child. And it seems like she doesn’t want him. She chooses the lifestyle over him. It’s sad and she seems like she needs serious help. All the resources are there for her, I hope someone reaches out to her before she ends up in a situation like Amber Portwood.

  I agree. Regardless of whether or not she can get him back, she shouldn’t get him back. Her home is clearly not stable. She’s been on and off with an abusive “fiance”, had been arrested countless times in the past year, and is airing her dirty laundry for the world to see. Doesn’t sound like a good role model to me.

Sad to say but she’s never going to get him back. On twitter she stated something like she wants to get jace back before he realizes what’s going on. News flash Jace probably already does! Barbara just needs to go ahead and be his mom and Jenelle can be his older sister.
:)

She doesn’t deserve to get him back. Jace does NOT need to be in the environment she puts herself into. That kid would get beaten to a pulp by her dumbass boyfriends. Keep him with Barbara until he’s 18. It’s certainly for the best.

I used to really like Jenelle. I thought she was smart and her antics while immature were hilarious. But then Kiefer came in the picture and her bad behavior became worse and worse, and it wasn’t just funny mean things about girls in her hometown, but illegal and dangerous choices. I just can’t defend her. While I will always root for her to do better, I just don’t see it happening…

  I felt the same way. I thought with her and barbras relationship I understood get behavior. But it had gotten really extreme. She needs to remove herself from that area, it just seems toxic and addictive to her. In fact, she seems to have the typical addictive personality. Addicted to drugs, Kiefer, Gary, and drama. She seemed to do wool in California and in track right when she came back, but she can’t stay away from negative people and bad situations. I wonder if Dr Drew has reached out to her. He usually makes that stuff public and I haven’t seen anything, but he has a lot of experience with addicts who are high profile. I think those people do need different care because they do live a different lifestyle. I know she does interviews for this site and I hope she reads these comments and knows that there us a positive message behind these.

  Wow, you found her antics hilarious when she was ONLY bullying girls in her town….obviously you are not an adult because there was NOTHING funny about anything Jenelle ever did. She is a horrible, spiteful, selfish little girl who will never grow up. If one of the girls she bullied was your daughter you wound find nothing funny about anything this disgusting piece of trash does. And all you “fans”..she is laughing at you all the way to the bank.

I do worry about jace w Barbara as well tho. Apparently both of Jenelles siblings are also in and out of jail, on and off drugs as well. She might not be a fit mother either.
- claire02127
  
  I agree not only are her other children in and out of jail but she gives too many chances if jace tirns out to do the same thing she will let min back in her house and support him either way which doesnt help people learn or get better. And she is just getting to old to do this by the time jace is 18 she will be so old she wont be able to take care of him

  OMG. My thoughts exactly. i just DONT Understand why everyone thinks Barbara is such a good mother. SHE’S NOT! She’s abusive and if you’ve ever watched 16 and pregnant, Barbara was by far the worst mother out of all moms of the teen girls. kayla (the anorexic girl) and danielle had some mean mothers too, but definetely not like Jenelle’s mom. kayla’s mom made her go on a diet while danielle’s mom was just… discouraging to danielle. But tbh, jenelle’s mom was 100xs worse kayla and danielle’s moms. yup, both kayla and danielle had some not-so-good moms, but imagine jenelle’s mom. no one was as close to being as bad as her. WOW!
whoa

Klonopin is the same drug that Amber is/was addicted to, now Jenelle gets caught with it. So my question is when is she going to reap the consequences of her actions?

  I don’t know that Amber is addicted to Klonopin, but she is addicted to Suboxone (sp?) which is supposed to be used to get peeps off Oxys.
amanda

it doesn’t matter if she CAN get him back. WE ALL KNOW… she doesnt want him back. She wouldnt be able to be incredibly selfish if she had be a full time momma. She doesnt want him, and good thing ! He’s better off!
Crystal

Why do they even have this article? First off, Jenelle was the one who signed over temporary custody to Barbabra. This chick doesn’t even deserve to be a mother to Jace. In my opinion, Jace is better off being adopted by a family who is stable and can provide for him in a safe environment.
Babyvamp

Um, who’s this law specialist? She may not automatically be out, but she could have one hell of a tough time ever getting him back full time. She’s only making the process harder.
ER

I don’t even understand at this point how anybody would even consider giving her custody. She is either a pathological liar, a severe addict, a perpetual victim or at best, just an drama addicted idiot who can’t take care of a hamster at this point, much less her son.
Jace should have been given up. End up story. Barbara is doing an okay job now, but poor little guy could have had a life where he was loved and appreciated in the home he was in. I know Barbara loves him and tries her best, but he’s gonna watch tv some day and see how big of a burden he was and how much his mother didn’t care.
BBT

Why the F would ANYONE give her custody of this child?
Paula

Honestly, I don’t think Jenelle WANTS custody of Jace, it’s too much of a burden on her. She wants to party party party, and you just can’t do that with a 2 1/2 year old. I think she wants to be in his life -somewhat- but she doesn’t want to parent him. So that aspect of the situation probably doesn’t bother her too much. She was crying more about not being about to smoke pot than not having custody of her son last season.
Jon

As if she really wants the kid back. right. this girl couldn’t handle resposibility even when the world is watching so how smart would it be to give her a kid when the cameras are soon going away? This kid is already going doomed to being a tax burdon to the taxpayers by either going to jail or just being a dead beat collecting Gov assistant. The cards are already dealt. Just because a camera crew recorded his early life does not take the white trash out of his DNA.

  I dont think thats true. Look at Tyler for example. He was damned if he was gonna end up like his dad and he is doing well for himself after seeing his dad’s mistakes. While I do think he is at risk for negative factors I dont think thats ok to say he will def experience these things. Hopefully he wont turn out like u said. Nothing is written in stone however.

Jenelle is a train wreck she is to consumed with guys booze and drugs and drama to ever get her son back jace is the last thing on jenelle mind.the only time jenelle ever mention jace is when her world of boys booze and drama fall aparts . To me jenelle is not a mother she just the person who gave Birth to jace a real mother take care of her child ever single day of year jenelle doesn’t deserved the title of mother . She a self destruct human being who never learn she will continue to behave like person with no self control until the courts puts her in jail where she belongs .
LisaM

Can’t see how any sane judge would grant this junkie custody of any child.
:):)

I think Jenelle could be a really good mom, if she wasn’t in trouble and doings drugs and other stuff all the time. But I don ‘t see how somebody could even consider giving her custody of Jace anymore.
Feisty

No she will not get Jace back. Unless she decides to mature and that might not be until she is in her thirties if she’s lucky!
Brittney

So i dont know if she will ever get him back, but i do know one day, sooner rather than later he will watch 16&preg an teen mom2. My heart really&truley breaks for this little boy as i can remember so many times where is would be obvious to a pretty blind, deaf, an retarted person that jenelle wanted 100% nothing to do with caring for the human being she brought into the world. I cant imagine how un important n un wanted he will feel when he sees the shows.

An as far as jenelle herself goes, (obviously judging from what i see on tv n websites like this one) i dont think she is a mothering type. If she were her mothering instincs wouldve kicked in the min she heard her son enter in the world n looked at his innocent face. just as i did with my own son, yes im not a teen but im not that far from it. (21 when was pregn n gave birth, 22 yrs old now) I wonder if the whole time she was preg if she ever really realised what her life had to be once she became a mother. However i will always hope she does the right thing for her son, as a mother of an 11month old, i do more for my son in his 11 months of life than she has for jace’s 2.5yrs of life or exactly however old he is now.
