'Disturbing Behavior'

The legal paperwork, submitted on February 23, asserts that the couple formally parted ways on February 16, "with the intent that the separation be permanent," as per online reports.

"Throughout the duration of the marriage of the parties, the defendant has exhibited concerning and at times disturbing behavior towards the plaintiff," the document conveyed. "In May of 2019, Defendant shot and killed the family’s pet French Bulldog Nugget in front of the minor child,” referring to their 7-year-old daughter.

Consequently, Evans asserts that Eason's act of killing the family pet led to "the Columbus County Department of Child Services, DSS instituting proceedings against the parties and taking into custody the aforementioned minor children."
