Sara Evans Granted Another Restraining Order Against Ex-Husband

Sara Evans has obtained a second restraining order against ex-husband Craig Schelske -- preventing him, for a second time, from speaking publicly about the details of their divorce. The move stems from the singer's contention that her ex irreparably harmed their children by badmouthing her in an interview with Anderson Cooper last month (Sept. 20).

In February of 2010, Sara obtained a restraining order against Schelske banning her former husband of 13 years and the father of her three kids from speaking out about their bitter split.

Evans and Schelske married in September of 1993 and divorced in September 2007, signing a confidentiality agreement to prevent either party from talking about their marriage and subsequent custody battle.

However, Schelske appeared on Anderson Cooper's daytime talk show last month and gave his side of the divorce story, claiming he lost custody of their three kids -- Avery, 12, Olivia, 7, and Audrey, 6 -- because Evans alleged he was cheating, among other accusations he vehemently denies. Schelske has also accused his ex of cheating on him and fabricating many of the allegations she brought to the legal table.

A day after the interview (Sept. 21), Evans returned to court to file for a new order to stop her ex-husband from making any further statements about their divorce. A judge agreed and signed the order the same day. A source allegedly close to Schelske told TMZ, "This is a violation of his First Amendment rights, and he won't take it lying down."

Evans re-married radio personality and former football star Jay Barker in the summer of 2008. They live in Birmingham, Ala. with their combined brood of seven children.

Craig Schelske is a lousy parent to begin with so regardless of the infidelities, Schelske shouldn't have the children. He's just looking for alimony.

Yeah, I'm sorry she married a jerk who can't keep his mouth closed but he shouldn't be court ordered to do so-it's his marriage and if he's telling even a subjective truth and people want to hear it he should be allowed to tell it. I think it's deplorable when there are children involved but I feel uncomfortable with the court overstepping in this manner.

Then again, how is her career doing? Have not seen much on her in the media of late. I also remember the crap that she threw around about him during the mess of the divorce.
Why not just move on after a divorce, by both sides? I was very bitter when it comes to my ex but he is the father of my children and as such I do not say much about him to them, even tho they are adults with children of their own.

Good day

Ex-spouses need to keep their mouths shut about the other spouse because IT'S IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILDREN!!! AND.... it's the right thing to do!! But, our society has no class and doing the right thing seems to have gone by the wayside out to a planet called "no class."

The ONLY consideration should be the children. It matters little now who did what, lies or truth. If any divorced parent TRULY CARES ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN they don't try to play their children for affection, I've seen too many children destroyed, made to feel guilty for loving both parents, and acting out because of their parents wanting the children to take sides. I know some "children" and parents who even after 30 years hold resentment placed in them by a parent who couldn't handle them having a relationship with the other parent...so sad. They (the children) will figure out the truth on their own when they are grown, and better equipped, hopefully, to handle whatever the truth may be.
