Jenelle Evans has been spending a lot of time in court lately.
Obviously, Jenelle has always spent more time in front of a judge than your typical mother of three, but lately, she's been a weekly presence at her local courthouse.
At issue, of course, is custody of Jenelle's children, who were placed with relatives last month following a CPS investigation.
The courthouse in Whitehill, North Carolina is not only the site of Jenelle's custody hearings but also her supervised visits with her kids.
Today, Evans was asked what steps she's taken to win them back ... and sadly, you probably won't be surprised by her response
Take a look:
1. The Regular
Jenelle has been appearing in front of judges since her teen years, but lately, she's been spending more time under oath than ever before.
2. Losing Her Cool
One of the best things that Jenelle and David could do in order to prove to a judge that they're temperamentally fit to raise kids is to act like grownups while on the courthouse grounds. But of course, they've failed to do that.
3. Strike One
On the first day of their initial hearing, David arrived at court with handgun prominently displayed on the dashboard of his car.
4. Strike Two
Shortly thereafter, David threatened to have a photographer arrested while entering the building.
5. Surprise, Surprise
To the utter shock of absolutely no one, the initial hearing did not pan out in the Easons' favor. They temporarily lost custody of their kids, all of whom are now living with relatives.
6. Long Road Ahead
Now, David and Jenelle are fighting an uphill battle and will have to prove to a family court judge that they've changed their ways.
