Musicians Michelle Branch and Patrick Carney suspend divorce and seek counseling

Singer-songwriter Michelle Branch and Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney will not be proceeding with their divorce proceedings — for now.

The "Everywhere" singer, who filed the initial divorce petition against Carney, initiated the official split in August amid allegations of infidelity and her arrest for domestic assault. (She's since been cleared.) However, she cited "irreconcilable differences" in her divorce petition.

According to court documents filed Tuesday in Davidson County Circuit Court in Nashville, Tennessee, Judge Phillip Robinson signed off on the couple's order of reconciliation — a request to suspend their divorce proceedings without prejudice — for six months. During that time, the musicians are set to undergo counseling. Once that's over, they will decide if they want to proceed with the divorce.
