Michelle Branch files for divorce from Patrick Carney after arrest, cheating claim

Singer-songwriter Michelle Branch officially filed for divorce from Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney mere days after she accused him of cheating and was arrested for domestic assault.

According to court documents obtained Monday by the Los Angeles Times, Branch filed for divorce on Friday in Davidson County, Tennessee. The musicians have been married for about three years.

The "Everywhere" singer cited "irreconcilable differences" and is asking for child support and primary custody of their two children: daughter Willie Jacquet, 6 months, and son Rhys James, 4. She says she will allow Carney, 42, to have "reasonable parenting" time with the kids, and is also asking for him to pay both of their legal fees. (Branch, 39, also has a 17-year-old daughter, Owen Isabelle, from her 11-year marriage to bass player Teddy Landau.)
