‘Teen Mom 2’ Alum Jenelle Says She’ll See Kaiser for His Birthday Weekend Amid Custody Battle

Jenelle and her 31-year-old husband, David, showed up in court nearly every day this week in their ongoing custody battle for their children.

But after their final court date of the week on June 28, Jenelle interacted with Radar Online cameras and shared an update.

When asked if she and David will be able to visit with little Kaiser over the weekend for his birthday, Jenelle responded, “Yup.”

It’s been six weeks since Jenelle and David lost custody of three out of their five children. Jenelle has 9-year-old son Jace and a 5-year-old son Kaiser from previous relationships and David has 11-year-old daughter Maryssa and 5-year-old son Kaden from previous relationships. Then, they share 2-year-old daughter Ensley together. But since Jenelle doesn’t have custody of Jace (he lives with her mom, Barbara Evans) and David doesn’t have custody of Kaden, only Maryssa, Kaiser and Ensley were removed from their home.

The children were ordered to be removed by CPS after David’s dog killing incident after he shot and killed the family’s dog, Nugget, on their property on April 29.

Shortly after the brutal murder, David defended himself and his actions and claimed he shot the dog because the dog allegedly had gotten aggressive with Ensley.

“I don’t give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face. … Whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog, and I don’t put up with that s–t at all,” David wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post on May 1.

“I’m all about protecting my family,” he continued. “It is my life’s mission. Some people are worth killing or dying for, and my family means that much to me. You can hate me all you want, but this isn’t the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively. The only person that can judge [whether] or not [an] animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME.”

After the incident, a CPS investigation was opened against the couple. Just weeks later, CPS ordered for the removal of the three children who were living at Jenelle and David’s home at the time of the incident: Kaiser, Ensley and Maryssa.

A judge ordered that Maryssa should stay with her maternal grandmother, while Kaiser is in the care of his father and Jenelle’s ex, Nathan Griffith. Finally, Jenelle’s mother, Barbara is caring for Ensley.

Jenelle and David went to court to fight for custody of their children. On May 28, they officially lost temporary custody of the kids after a judge ruled that Jenelle failed “to protect” her children during the dog killing incident at their home, according to The Ashley.

Since then, Jenelle and David have only been able to spend one hour a week with their children, according to Radar.

When the couple went to court on Tuesday, June 25, no decision had been made. There was a new judge on the case, and Maryssa was called to speak on the stand to testify in the case.

According to Radar, the custody battle could take months before it is finally resolved.

“Today was a pre-adjudication hearing. Then there will be an adjudication hearing and an outcome,” a source close to the MTV star told Radar on June 25. An adjudication hearing is when CPS tries to prove the allegations made against the parents to a judge.
