“Jenelle has been saying that she wants to get custody of Jace back for years, and now she’s really going to have the opportunity to do so,” a source told Radar.
“But she has to actually go ahead and get it done and she just hasn’t so far,” noted the source. “Jenelle does want Jace back, but the process is always held up by something. Either she is dealing with” her fiancé, Nathan Griffin, “or just can’t get it together. But she could get him back now.”
