Since then, there have been claims and counterclaims of physical and psychological abuse, questions over paternity and suggestions of a "continued conspiracy to keep Chris Jones out of Jayden's life".
One claim was that Jones kicked his son down a set of stairs and then as further punishment made him wait for an hour outside in the rain.
The claims of physical abuse were the subject of a police complaint and a subsequent investigation by Child Youth and Family, but couldn't be proven.
This allegation is among several made against Jones, his current partner Anita Hall and her 7-year-old daughter Jessie.
A High Court order prohibits publication at this stage of any details of those allegations.
However, while Jayden may be back with his father, the six-year custody battle appears far from resolved. On Tuesday, Jones was granted interim custody, and all supervised visits between Jayden and his mother were cancelled. Skelton has now engaged top criminal lawyer Barry Hart, and says she is committed to continuing with the custody fight.
Hart claims Jones is not a "knight in shining armour" and has threatened to divulge what he says is evidence to back that up.
Jones says suggestions he is an unfit parent are laughable.
"Why would I spend the time, energy and resources in trying to have a relationship with Jayden and then mistreat him in the way they are claiming? Does that make common sense to you?
"I would never treat a child the way Kay has led people to believe, let alone my own child. She [Skelton] just needs to pull her head in and think about Jayden for a change."
And Jayden, he says, couldn't be happier.
"I couldn't wish for better. Everyone has missed him so much. When Jayden saw his cousins he said 'did you guys miss me?', and they said 'yeah', and then he turned around and said 'oh, I missed you guys too'.
"They then asked if it was good to be back, and he said 'yeah, I'm pleased I'm back'."
One of the highlights of the week was when Jones put his son to bed for the first time again.
Normally, Jones says, reading a bedtime story to his son was "like doing the dishes, a bit of a chore".
"But this time reading a book to Jayden reminded me how much I enjoyed it. It made me realise how much I enjoyed reading my boy a story and tucking him in bed.
"After I tucked him in, Jayden said 'Goodnight Dad, I love you'."
Jones wasn't sure where his son had been hiding out for the past five months - and doesn't care.
"It's not my job to interrogate him and find out where he's been - it's not really that important. The important part is that I have got my boy back."
Seems you were right again, and it seems people are really starting to figure out what you can really do!!!
