In the court documents, Ashley revealed that Bar and she separated in March, and their daughter, Holly, has been living with her since July 2022. According to Starcasm, the Teen Mom is seeking full custody of their child and is not requesting spousal support.
She also requested no visitation for Bar in her filing, explaining he is “in jail under further notice.” She added that Bar is in jail on multiple felony charges, “awaiting trial for a DV case against myself.” The court documents further state that given Bar’s existing probation for gun charges in California and his current serious charge in Nevada, Ashley fears his decision-making skills are “very questionable.”
