Jenelle Evans and her husband David Eason are reportedly facing financial struggles. In Touch Weekly reported that the couple is dealing with two court cases and their legal fees keep getting higher. On top of that, they also allegedly have a $46,000 state tax bill, which was originally filed in 2020.
An insider who spoke with The U.S Sun claimed that Jenelle and David’s legal fees were quickly piling up. The couple had been left in a financial crisis. They added that there was no discernable steady income coming into the house beyond the clickbait Jenelle did, and her OnlyFans account, which she’d kept up with sporadically at best.
The Sun’s source blamed the couple’s monetary problems on them being bad with money. The source also said that they’d order take-out all the time to feed four or five mouths. This was especially true when Maryssa, Jenelle’s teenage daughter, was home.
They’d also allegedly go on pricey trips with, and without, the kids. The insider went on to claim that the pair also sank money on their always-breaking, expensive toys, like the boat and their ATV.
Jenelle Lost Custody of Her Oldest Son, Jace
One of their legal battles is a custody case against Child Protective Services for Jenelle’s son, Jace Evans. In Touch previously reported that the 14-year-old had been reported as missing 3 times within two months last year.
After his 3rd attempt to run away, the news outlet exclusively revealed that he was checked into a hospital where he underwent a mental health evaluation. It was at this time that Child Protective Services got involved and began investigating Jace’s situation.

TMZ claimed that in early October 2023, Janelle and David were under investigation for child neglect. According to The Sun, after losing custody of her child, Jenelle was ordered to complete intensive therapy by Child Protective Services and to undergo substance tests too.
Jace reportedly told his grandmother that his stepfather was harming him. The Sun claimed that the teenager told doctors, a therapist, a county Sheriff, and a CPS staffer that David had hurt him.
On January 10th, David appeared in Columbus Superior Court where he was indicted on felony CA charges. The court clerk told In Touch that enough evidence had been found to take David’s case out of district court, where misdemeanors were held, and bring it to the superior court.
According to the news website, Jenelle appears to be supporting her husband. Days after his court case, she shared on social media that she lived in the most corrupt place in the world. On Facebook, she also posted, “It’s funny how bias people are against us. When the truth comes out I hope you feel stupid”.
One of The Sun’s insiders reported that the CPS case against Janelle’s household was closed. The younger children would not be removed from the home.
