Jenelle Evans Faces David Eason For First Time Since Separation as Court Battle Commences In Her New Home State

It's been nearly one month since Jenelle Evans filed for divorce from David Eason.

Jenelle filed the papers from the safety of a remote location, rightly fearing that David might exact some kind of revenge if she did so while residing on the property they once shared.

Jenelle has been granted a restraining order against David, and that protection under the law might explain why she felt comfortable revealing the location of her new home and squaring off against Eason in court today.

Yes, according to Radar Online, Jenelle and David came face-to-face this afternoon for the first time since their separation in October.

And the meeting marks the beginning of what's sure to be a very messy court battle.

Take a look:
