Divorce Slander

Nashville, TN: (Oct-01-07) Sara Evans, the Dancing with the Stars third-season celebrity participant, filed a lawsuit against her husband Craig Schelske, accusing him of infidelity. Her suit claimed that he was having an affair with their former nanny and using pornography. Sources stated that the divorce was to be completed in Feb 2007, but Evans eventually filed a motion accusing him of stalling the proceedings unless she fired her attorney and issued a televised statement denying her original allegations about his alleged adultery and pornography use. In April, Schelske filed a $20 million slander lawsuit against one of Evans' divorce lawyers, claiming the attorney slandered him by telling "untruths" in the media.

In a settlement reached, Evans will pay Schelske $600,000 in alimony, with the option of annually paying $60,000 over 10 years, as well as allow him to keep their two Oregon homes while she retains possession of their Nashville residence. [REALITY TV WORLD: SARA EVANS DIVORCE]
