Ah hah! He also demands Evans produce said action photos within five days: put up or shut up. "It is impossible that authentic original photographs of such acts as alleged exist. Husband demands that Wife produce the support that would justify such scandalous allegations," the document sniffs indignantly.
He also denies — while asking for temporary financial support — he is just a slug riding the Evans gravy train. "Husband traveled with Wife on tours and while on the road served in multiple capacities as needed toward her personal and professional needs and as a liaison in her career with others employed by Gingerdog, Inc., the couple's jointly owned company. Further, the parties agreed that Husband would lead and/or commence other projects in entertainment and other areas."
Schelske "demands retraction of those allegations, an apology and the further spreading of false information be stopped immediately," said his attorney, Charlie Gay, Jr. "It is requested that his wife and her attorneys immediately reveal what factual basis they had to make such vicious and untrue allegations. Believing that they had no adequate factual basis for the outrageous claims, he has requested that sanctions be imposed under law and that the allegations be stricken from the record."
The worm has turned! Schelske also files for legal separation, though not divorce, in the document, and denies he looted the family's tithing account when he found out about her divorce filing. He says he looted the account BEFORE he found out about the filing, which makes it, you know, okay.
So there you have it: tawdry accusations, more-or-less total denials, and counter-accusations, all awaiting "synthesis." Will Evans be able to substantiate any of her inflammatory accusations, or will she have to retract them? And what of Schelske's bombshells?
Will the parties continue to wage this brutal conflict in the media or will they take it private?
Does anyone really give a damn about the kids or are they just pawns? Perhaps it's time to prove it.

Brilliantly and succinctly put, EO. What these two knuckleheads are doing to their children with this kind of behavior is deplorable.

if those "photos" were taken digitally, there won't be any "original photos"...they might only exist on his hard drive..which is a safe bet to have been wiped by now...hence this particular bit of possible bullshit
other than that..i'll leave this topic alone, cuz it just makes me want to wash mjy eyes out with bleach after reading about it
Excelsior?

If Sara took nude photo's of him, I'll bet he did the same of her. How long until those turn up on the internet?

Who's the idiot who wrote this article? In a pathetic attempt to sound intelligent, they continuously use words like "thesis" and "antithesis"... These documents have actual legal names, you might actually have succeeded in sounding smart if you had bothered to use those.

There was nothing idiotic in the attempt to use "thesis", "anti-thesis and "synthesis" here, but it would have been more accurate to say that a synthesis had broken down to its constituent thesis and anti-thesis. In the final analysis, that is what a divorce really boils down to. What makes divorces particularly messy is the fact that the "synthesis," usually has products additional to the original thesis and anti-thesis (like kids).

people who are intelligent don't need to try to sound intelligent - keep it in mind, green nut/hugs and kisses

LOL, *smack* hehehehe...Gee, I don't sound intelligent do I Eric? lol

if you would just imagine the writer sitting there behind his trusty underwood typewriter, wearing his smoking jacket and smoking a pipe...maybe you would better perceive the inherent intelligence in his presentation.
or you could watch some nascar or something.

Lie Detector Tests are usually Very Accurate. I would never take one if I was not telling the truth.
11 - Eric Olsen
perhaps Sara cast her net a bit widely in her divorce filing
12 - Phillip Winn
Mike #10, those tests are inadmissable in court for a reason. Overall, they tend to be accurate. Individually, however, they can be beaten.

Perhaps the green nutty one had to look the words up, and got confused?

I am curious who she supposedly cheated with?? Well believe it or now, when she left Dancing with the stars for sure I would have thought he cheated with that Tony dancer. I know someone here in Arizona that he was having an affair with, while his wife was pregnant in NY.
So I wouldn't put it pass her.

Sarah has an astronomical talent; however, she is a flirt and perhaps worse. Why would she leave her children and husband to dance on a show????? She has to sing thats their income. It seems Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Sarah Evans and others let their mates kill themselves to help mate get to top and then WHAM..... I don't need you any more. Alan Jackson was a smart one he went back to his wife....One day the rest will say how could I have done this to my mate after all he/she did for me......

If divorce is imminent, you do not want to be liable for purchases made by your spouse. Similar to spouses who have raided bank accounts on learning of a divorce filing, some are known to go on shopping sprees leaving you deeper in debt ...

Sara Evans is an amazing person, and the waste of skin she was married too was a jerk to her. She doesn't need him. She's got her kids, a new boyfriend, her family, her friends, and her fans. That's all she needs.
We love you, Sara! Keep up the amazing work!

I heard that the guy she had an affair with was the HOT lead singer from 3 Doors Down-Brad Arnold-But I doubt it's true because his wife is WAAAAAAY hotter than Sara Evans.
