TMZ reported earlier this month that the CPS investigation into Evans and Eason was “in its final stages” and that it was likely one or both would be charged as a result.

The judge ruled that David cannot have any contact with the teenager, who currently lives with his grandmother Barbara
Law enforcement officials are investigating allegations that Eason assaulted Jace on September 28th.
A source told The Sun that Jace was taken to hospital the next day, where doctors found marks on his arms and neck.
The source also claimed that the physical interaction was recorded on the doorbell camera at their home.
It appears the investigation is expanding to include their other children as Jace has claimed he isn’t the only one who was physically harmed.
“The judge asked a lot of questions about what Jace saw and she took the allegations of abuse against the other minors in the home very seriously,” a source told the medium.
Evans welcomed Jace in 2009 when she was just 17 – she was filming 16 and Pregnant at the time and was still dating his father Lewis.

Eason’s daughter Maryssa, 16, also lives with the family on the property, which they call “The Land.”
CPS investigators were reportedly denied permission to speak with Kaiser and Ensley when they came out to investigate.
“It was said in court that CPS didn’t let them in the first time they came,” a source told the outlet. ‘The second time [they came] David thought they were intruders and threatened to shoot them, and the third time they came in, but Jenelle only allowed the children to be questioned while she was present.
The judge’s ruling Wednesday said: “The children will now be interviewed away from Jenelle.”
Depending on the outcome of the investigation, both Evans and Eason could face charges of neglect and assault, according to TMZ.
Another hearing is scheduled for later this month to determine how Jace’s living situation with his grandmother develops.
