TEEN Mom Jenelle Evans has reunited with her son Jace after filing for emergency primary custody, as she claimed her son “set fires” in her mom Babara’s care. 

Jenelle, 29, filed for sole custody of her troubled son Jace, 11, and asked the court to grant emergency custody to her on January 28, 2021, The Sun previously reported.

Barbara currently has primary physical and legal custody of Jace, as Jenelle has visitation with him every other weekend, after she signed over custody of her son to her mother in June 2010. 

On Saturday, Jenelle posted a boomerang with Jace in her car, as the two held up the peace sign. 

Though Jenelle is currently on the outs with her mother, she has continued her weekend visitation with Jace, as she also had him last weekend for Easter. 

In the custody court filing obtained by The Sun, Jenelle claimed there has been a “substantial change in circumstances affecting the welfare of the minor child” that warrants a change in the custody agreement.

The former Teen Mom 2 star claimed Jace is “at risk of bodily injury” in the care of his grandmother, which is why she is filing for emergency custody. 

Jenelle alleged Jace has had “increasingly worse behavior problems that cause him to be physically aggressive, out of control and unsafe.”

The YouTuber claimed Barbara told her she “cannot control the minor child’s behaviors.”

Barbara was instructed by his health care provider “multiple times” to call a crisis hotline or go to the Emergency Department if Jace’s “aggression escalates,” Jenelle alleged in the filing.

Jenelle noted an alleged December 19, 2020 incident where Jace and Barbara “argued throughout the day.”

The court papers claimed: “The minor child physically assaulted [Barbara] twice causing injury to [Barbara.] The Minor child also burned the carpet because he was angry with [Barbara]. 

“The minor child has a history of starting fires in the home of [Barbara].”

Jenelle claimed her mother “did not contact the crisis line or seek any treatment or professional help for the minor child during this incident.”

The JE Cosmetics owner alleged Barbara reached out to Jenelle for help with Jace. 

Jenelle claimed that on December 20, 2020, she picked up Jace to bring him to live with her primarily at the consent of Barbara. 

Jenelle, who is also mom to Kaiser, 6, with ex-fiance Nathan Griffith and Ensley, 4, with husband David Eason, said Jace’s behavior “improves substantially” in her care and that they “do not struggle with conflict or aggression.”

She said her son stayed with her until January 18, 2021, when Barbara allegedly backed out on their new custody agreement for Jace to live with her full time and demanded he be returned to her home.

The filing continued: “[Barbara] cannot manage the minor child’s behavior without assistance from [Jenelle] and the conflict in [Barbara’s home] has resulted in domestic violence between [Barbara] and [Jace].

“It is not safe or healthy for the minor child to remain in the custody of [Barbara] as [Barbara] is not properly treating the minor child’s mental health or managing his behaviors.”

Jenelle said she is “fit and proper” to have sole legal and physical custody of Jace, while Barbara is “not fit and proper to have the care, custody and control of [Jace] due to her lack of ability to properly care for the child and ensure he has a safe home environment.”

She asked for any visitation between Barbara and Jace to be “therapeutic in nature until they are able to appropriately manage the conflict in their relationship.”

Jenelle claimed she is ‘fit and proper’ to raise Jace full time

Jenelle requested the court issue an emergency custody order for Jace to be transferred to her care “immediately.”

Barbara responded by requesting Columbus County Department of Social Services provide her attorney with documents, including medical records and psychological evaluations, for review. 

A court hearing set for earlier this month has been continued to a later date. 

Jenelle also revealed her son Kaiser has also had behavioral issues. 

Jenelle opened up about Kaiser’s behavior on her YouTube series Addicted to Growth.

The 29-year-old mom said: “Kaiser had a really hard time at school in North Carolina. He was in his first school and got kicked out.

“In the second school, he basically got kicked out, wouldn’t behave. And when we got to Tennessee, he started school again.

“Luckily, he got to picked up by the bus and brought to school, I just had to bring him to the apartment complex but he was bad on the bus and when he got to school, he was bad in school and things weren’t going that great and they would call me every other day to come pick him up.”

Jenelle then revealed that because of Kaiser’s behavior, she also had a tough time co-parenting with his birth dad.

She said: “Not to throw Nathan under the bus but I contacted Nathan like four or five times, asking if he could help me control Kaiser and control his anger and Nathan was like ‘I’m in Florida, I don’t know what to do.’”

Nathan admitted on Facebook that he has previously seen “red flags” when it comes to his son’s behavior.

However, the star reassured the public he is doing his best as a father.
