is denying most of the claims her estranged husband  made in March regarding their divorce, property division and custody of their daughter Ensley.

can exclusively reveal that, this week, the former star filed a response to David’s counterclaim, and essentially shot down all of the statements her former soulmate made in his response to Jenelle’s initial divorce filing back in February 2024.

As The Ashley told you last month, Jenelle asked for— and was granted— more time to get her response to David’s claims. On Thursday, she finally answered David’s counterclaim. David’s response in March contained a few bombshells, including that he wanted custody of Ensley, and asked that Jenelle be required to pay him child support. He also claimed that he was unable to afford his legal fees for to the case, and asked the judge to make Jenelle pay his legal fees.

In her filing this week, Jenelle basically denied everything David stated in his document. (For the majority of her responses to David’s claims, Jenelle stated that a response was not needed, but if an answer should become required, she denies what David is saying.)

First, Jenelle disputed David’s claim that both he and Jenelle are “suitable persons to have the custody and supervision” of Ensley, and that it would be in Ensley’s best interest for a court to decide the issues of custody and visitation.

As The Ashley has previously reported, Jenelle wants full custody of Ensley, with David only getting visitation with his daughter after he takes a court-ordered psychological evaluation. (Based on court records obtained by The Ashley, it does not appear that David has done so yet. However, in February Jenelle filed another Cause of Action to demand that David take the test.) 

David has not seen Ensley since February 2024, when he and Jenelle split. Shortly after that, Jenelle took Ensley and moved to Las Vegas, where she currently resides. David is currently living in North Carolina with his girlfriend .

Jenelle also denied David’s claim that she is “an able-bodied female capable of providing support and maintenance for the use and benefit of” Ensley if/when David received custody of the girl, and that Jenelle should have to pay him child support.

Jenelle stated that this statement contains “legal conclusions to which an answer or response is not required. To the extent an answer or response is required, [Jenelle] denied the allegations.” (This is how she responded to nearly all of David’s statements.) 

Moving on to how their property should be divided between them, David stated that the property that he and Jenelle acquired during their marriage is “marital property which this court is entitled to divide equally and equitably between the parties.” 

Jenelle denied this. 

Jenelle also flat-out denied David’s claim that their marital property should be divided unequally in his favor, and that she should have to pay David’s expenses from the lawsuit.

The former swamp-dwelling soulmates are due to next meet up for a non-jury hearing in July for this case.
