The reality TV star, who was released from jail Tuesday after spending 24 hours behind bars on charges of battery for fighting with her ex-fiancé Gary Shirley, will soon be reunited with her 2-year-old daughter, Leah, according to her lawyer.
"It's my understanding that Leah will be placed back with her," attorney Robert Schembs tells PEOPLE.
On Monday Portwood, 20, was charged with three felonies, including two counts of domestic battery and one count of neglect of a dependent, as well as one misdemeanor charge of domestic battery. She was booked Monday afternoon and kept overnight at the Madison County jail in Anderson, Ind.
She is no longer allowed to have contact with Shirley, according to Schembs. Still, he adds, "To my knowledge, they're on good terms."
"I'm really proud of her," Schembs says, adding that he saw the reality TV star Monday night in jail. "She was staying strong. Her outlook was positive. She had shock, of course, but having said that, she was in good spirits. She's really trying."
