Jenelle’s attorney tells HollyBaby.com exclusively that Jenelle’s moving to be closer to school — but Jace can’t come because Jenelle’s mom has custody!
Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans has been out of rehab since June 8 and living back at home in Oak Island, N.C. with her mom Barbara Evans and soon-to-be 2-year-old son Jace. But now the 19-year-old MTV reality star is looking to move out of her mom’s house to live on her own — and she won’t be taking Jace with her!
“She is looking to move out to be closer to school,” Jenelle’s attorney Dustin Sullivan tells Hollybaby.com exclusively. But since Barbara has custody of Jace, he will be staying with his grandmother.
Jenelle will be attending Cape Fear Community College in Wilmington, N.C. which is about an hour drive from her mom’s home.
“She is looking forward to starting school within the next week,” her attorney adds.
While Jenelle is focused on getting her life back on track — and we think it’s a great that she’s going back to school — she will be pretty far from baby Jace and probably won’t get to see him every day.
BFFs — do you think it’s smart for Jenelle to be moving so far away from her son? Share your thoughts with us!

I think her going back to school is the best thing. She needs an education to properly take care of Jace.
Not only that, accomplishing school might give her the confidence boost she needs to keep herself on the right track.
I fully support Jenelle.

This is not really that jaw-dropping. Obviously it’s in her best interest to move closer to school, as that is one of her long-term goals for bettering her future life with Jace.

I agree. Jenelle should move closer to school so she can finish school. In the long run it will be better for her and Jase.
