Court documents state adultery, pornography reasons for Sara Evans divorce
Sara Evans filed for divorce Thursday from her husband of 13 years, Craig Schelske, in Williamson County, alleging that he had committed adultery, verbally abused her and frequently watched pornography at home. On Thursday, Evans announced that she has dropped out of the ABC show Dancing with the Stars to give her family her full attention.
According to the document filed in chancery court, Schelske allegedly has on his computer at least 100 photographs of himself posing with his erect penis. There are several photographs of him having sex with other women, the filings stated.

The court document included an exhibit of nine recent Craigs Lists items stored in the temporary files of his computers.
On Sept. 28, one of the children confronted Schelske, 43, at the couples Franklin home when he was watching pornography on TV, the filing stated. The couples children are 2, 3 and 7 years old.
Evans, 35, requested a temporary restraining 1c84order prohibiting Schelske from physically and verbally abusing her, exposing their three young children to pornographic materials of any kind, consuming alcoholic beverages to excess in front of Evans or the children, and taking their children to Oregon, which would interfere with her temporary and pending custody.
Wife further alleges that husband has told wife that he is taking the children to Oregon and continually interferes with wifes possession of and parenting time with the parties minor children, stated the document.
The document alleged that Schelske frequently threatened Evans and told her that she is crazy. It also claimed he verbally and emotionally abused and harassed Evans.
Evans filed for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, inappropriate marital conduct and adultery.
"There's nothing else she could do under the circumstances," said Evans' attorney, John Hollins Sr.
Evans requested she be designated the primary residential parent and custodian of the children and that Schelske receive reasonable residential parenting time with their children.
She requested exclusive possession of their home and reasonable child support.
No court date has been set.
Late Thursday, her representatives released the following statement:
"Recent events that shed light on the status of her marriage prompted Ms. Evans to make the filing.
The statement continued, "A mother of three, Ms. Evans felt it was in her children's best interest that she also withdraw from competition on Dancing with the Stars, an ABC television series that she has been part of this fall, to give her family her full attention at this difficult time. Ms. Evans hopes that her fans and TV viewers who've supported her in recent weeks and throughout her music career will respect and understand her need for privacy in the face of these recent events." -

Wow. That is a lot of allegations. So sad to see a family going through that. Where did the article come from? I noticed it didn't say anything about him cheating with the nanny/Sarah's best friend.
Also, did anyone catch her interview after dancing with the stars? I watched the end of it. It looks like they really censored what she said due to her estrange husband's threats
What do you all think? -

It was she that was fooling around and got caught then to save face, she fired the first shot!
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) The husband of country singer Sara Evans says she filed for divorce the day after he discovered she was having an affair.
Craig Schelske did not identify the other man in court documents filed Friday in Williamson County Chancery Court.
Evans' publicist Lori Genes declined to comment.
In his answer to Evans' petition for divorce filed last week, Schelske denies Evans' allegations that he committed adultery, was verbally and emotionally abusive, drank excessively and frequently watched pornography in their home.
Schelske, who ran for Congress as a Republican from Oregon's 5th District in 2002, says he and Evans, 35, were watching pornography together when their oldest child, a 7-year-old daughter whom they believed to be asleep, entered their room unexpectedly.
He also denies her claims that he posed for nude photographs of himself except a few taken by his wife on their 10th wedding anniversary as well as the existence of any sexual photographs of himself with other women, or that he had an affair with their former nanny. The nanny also has denied the allegation.
"No other photographs exist and any allegations of such are outrageous, defamatory, malicious and legally actionable," the suit states.
Schelske, 43, also says his wife's interest in her "marital roles and responsibilities" declined and she "neglected" their three children after she began appearing on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

There are 3 sides to every story, his hers and the truth.
Most states are no fault anyways but in TN you need grounds, or it needs to be agreed. Either way, I am sure she is no angel either and its unfair to put all the blame on him. She apparantly did not have a problem with any of this before to have 3 kids with him. He can't be that bad of a person. -

I get the feeling that this is all very recent behaviour in the last year or so. Their children are much older than that (7, 4, and 3). So It makes sense that she would not have known about this sort of thing until recently.
