June 26 2019, Updated 12:29 p.m. ET
Jenelle Evans and David Eason left court on Tuesday, June 25 without their children yet again.
RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal the Teen Mom 2 star’s custody battle is far from over, as it could take “months” to get the children back.
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Child Protective Services removed all of their kids from their care after David shot and killed family dog Nugget for nipping at their 2-year-old daughter Ensley.
In May, a judge signed off to remove Maryssa, 11, Kaiser, 4, and Ensley, 2, from their care. Barbara, who has full custody of Jace, 9, was ordered to stop his visits with Jenelle.

Court Drama
“This will go on for months,” a source close to the MTV star told RadarOnline.com. “Today was a pre-adjudication hearing. Then there will be a adjudication hearing and an outcome.” An adjudication hearing is when the CPS agency attempts to prove the allegations.

Sad Situation
The insider continued, “CPS described the state of the home as horrific. It was filthy and there were holes in all of the walls.”
