Teen Mom: The Next Chapter star Ashley Jones is taking legal steps to end her marriage to Bar Smith.
Jones, 27, filed for divorce from her husband after three years of marriage on Thursday, August 1, Us Weekly confirms.
According to court documents obtained by Starcasm, Jones indicated that the couple officially separated in March of this year.
The MTV reality star is asking for sole custody of the couple’s 6-year-old daughter, Holly. Regarding child support, she requested that the court set the support amount.
Jones also filled out the parenting time share and holiday schedule and requested no visitation for Smith, 27.
“[Bar] is currently in jail awaiting trial for a DV case against myself,” she reportedly wrote in court documents. “He is in jail on multiple felony charges. Given that he is already on probation out of California for gun charges and he is [now] in Nevada custody on more serious charges, I fear his decision making skills are very questionable.”
Us has reached out to Jones and Smith’s teams for comment on the divorce.
In July, Us confirmed Smith was arrested and charged with two felonies, including second-degree kidnapping and coercion domestic violence with the threat of or using physical force. It was unclear who the alleged victim was at the time of his arrest.
When Teen Mom: The Next Chapter kicked off its current season in May, Jones shared with viewers that she was contemplating a divorce from her husband.
