Sara Evans Files Temporary Restraining Order against Ex-Husband
More here: Sara Evans Files Temporary Restraining Order against Ex-Husband
Sara Evans has just filed a temporary restraining order on her ex-husband, Craig Schelske. The order was filed in Williamson County, TN, and a court date has been set for March 15 at the Williamson County Chancery Court in Franklin, TN. Apparently Evans was none-to-pleased with her ex’s comments about her and their 2007 divorce while Schelske was a guest on a local Nashville radio show. The temporary restraining order prevents Schelske from making derogatory statements to the media about the why’s and what-for’s that led to their very nasty and public divorce (among other sordid details, each accused the other of having affairs, which both vehemently denied). Evans had been competing on Dancing with the Stars in 2006 when she abruptly quit the show to focus on her divorce. In 2008, Evans married former University of Alabama quarterback, Jay Barker, who currently co-hosts the sports radio show, Opening Drive , on WJOX radio in Birmingham, AL. Evans and Barker live in the Birmingham suburb of Mountain Brook. Together they have seven children from previous marriages
