Jenelle Evans’ divorce from David Eason is proving to be a pricey one.
“Unfortunately, North Carolina is a 50/50 state and even though I paid for the majority of our assets, they had to be divided regardless,” Jenelle, 33, exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Tuesday, August 12. “I don’t think a lot of people put that into perspective when getting married, and they definitely should. Prenups should be more accepted into society in my opinion.”
On Monday, August 11, a report surfaced claiming Jenelle has to pay her ex-husband more than $30,000 a month as part of their divorce settlement.
According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Jenelle is now solely responsible for paying off the tax lien and debt that she and David, 37, owed to the North Carolina Department of Revenue, which currently sits at $40,000.
The former Teen Mom 2 star is also responsible for paying what’s left on the mortgage of their North Carolina home, a reported $138,920.
“Even though I was left with some debt,” Jenelle claimed to Us, “I hope everyone can learn from my mistakes and life lessons once again. I’m happy to close this chapter for good.”

In July, a judge agreed to grant Jenelle’s motion for an “absolute divorce” between her and David.
Before the divorce was finalized, Jenelle shined a light on why she chose to file for separation in March 2024 after six years of marriage.
“His attitude that he had, putting everyone in a bad mood all the time,” she exclusively told Us in July. “Everyone was walking on eggshells and I’m like, I don’t have to live like this, and I don’t have to stay together just because we have kids.”
The MTV reality star — who shares Jace, 16, with Andrew Lewis, Kaiser, 11, with Nathan Griffith, and Ensley, 8, with David — said she’s in a much better place post-divorce and as she calls Las Vegas home.
“It took a little time to get used to, but now I’m enjoying my alone time,” she said. “I’m feeling great because I’m taking the time to heal for myself and taking this time to be alone.”
While David has moved on with girlfriend Kenleigh Heatwole, Jenelle appears to be single and focused on family time and other projects, like an upcoming Teen Mom themed cruise.
“Now I can breathe 👏🏻🎉,” she wrote via Instagram on July 30. “Went through our assets and came to a settlement, ladies please don’t ever put anything in anyone else’s name but your own. The battle is over! 😭🙈 #LessonLearned #Divorced.”
