Sara Evans and Hubby Call Truce

Posted Oct 26th 2006 12:51PM by TMZ Staff

After hurling wild allegations and slinging mud every which way, Sara Evans and her estranged husband Craig Schelske have agreed to play nice -- but there is still a chill in the air.

Both parties showed up in a Nashville court to hash out some of the terms of their nasty split. When asked if he still loved Evans, Schelske replied, "Yes, I do." When Evans was asked if she shared the same feeling, the country diva said nothing.

Inside the courtroom, Sara and Craig both agreed not to air their dirty laundry in the press. They also agreed to take psychological exams, which could become a factor in the custody case -- the couple has three children.

They also agreed not to physically or verbally abuse each other. And, in a blow to Johnnie Walker, they agreed not to use "excessive" alcohol. Schelske also agreed to find a new place to live. For now, Sara will have primary custody of their kids and Craig will have visitation rights.

48. I'm curious to know what prompted the niceness all of a sudden. I wonder if the hubby in this case is in possession of some damaging photos or videos that Sara might not want exposed. If he does have pornographic images on his PC, I'm sure some of the them are Sara. We can only hope.

50. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." John 3: 16-19

52. None of the dirt should have been made public. They should have been thinking of the kids. Neither of them did so, they only thought of themselves. As far as the divorce complaints...those could have been sealed so as not to be made public knowledge. It happens a lot of the time. As a mother and grandmother none of this should be out there for us to read. My sympathy to the children. I hope that they do end up in a good situation, perhaps not with either parent. I firmly believe that someone that gives birth does not make a mother and a sperm donor does not make a father.

53. I have to say Sarah needs the help this time, she looks like she has done this before but it seems she did not get noticed, like the cheerleader that never was she seems bitter.

54. Who the Hell are these people? I may be out of the loop but I had to look Sara Evans up, and she seems to be most famous for being on Dancing with the Stars. Who cares about these Z list celebrities?

There should be a rule limiting the number of "celebrities" Before a new one can be created an existing celebrity would have to be killed. Also they have to have actually done something. And being on a reality show doesn't count. Except for American Idol. The winner on American Idol can be a celebrity until the next season of the show begins. Then the old Idol has to be taken out into a field and shot.

It's the only thing that makes sense.

55. have you guys seen the sight supporting clinton,she is trying to make everyone feel sorry for her because she has a eating disorder,oh puh-lease,then there is a recording of her singing a song,i smell media attention in the air for her to get a deal.So what if she married in July,it doesnt mean that she didnt sleep with the old guy.I have seen this scenario before.She has her friends brow-beating sarah to make an apology to make her look good.Some people can pass a lie detector test,i dont care if the pope gave it to you!!! I think this lady wants to sue sarah or something,she says something about the future for her family,blah,blah,blah,what about the future of sarahs family?And if she were so uncomfortable with the way she was embarrassed when accused,dont you think she should be the bigger person and stop the publicity stunt about sarah apologizing.Its obvious clinton must beleive in an eye for an eye and not letting GOD handle it!!Thats right,ruin sarah to save yourself,why not!!You are still trying to get that singing carreer,sarah already has one!!!!

57. IT SEEMS TO ME THEY BOTH SHOULD SHUT UP AND DEAL WITH THEIR PROBLEMS IN PRIVATE. HAVING SAID THAT I BELIEVE SARA HAS A THING FOR HER DANCE PARTNER ON DANCING WITH THE STARS. THEY SEEM TO HAVE CLICKED AND SARA SAID AS MUCH. I BELIEVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP HAS MORE TO DO WITH SARA'S ACTION THAN ANYTHING HER HUSBAND MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE DONE. IT IS ASKING TOO MUCH FOR SOMEONE TO BELIEVE THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN DOING ALL HE WAS ACCUSED OF WITHOUT SARA KNOWING SOMETHING. MORGAN DAVIS

58. it's a shame no matter who started what.....the kids are the one to lose. I have been through it myself, and 15 years later I still feel guilty...I shiuld have just shot my ex !!

59. It is not our place to judge or put blame either party. Instead, we should try to learn from this media exposure and Sara's disclosure.

Take notice of the husband's porn addiction. In this day and age, with the internet and cable T.V. making it readily available TO ANYBODY; you must stop and ask yourself, "is this bad behavior going on at my house too?"

Wake up people!!! It is happening all around you! And pornography is destroying indviduals, families, and what were once important relationships.

Maybe Sara got sick of the abusive behavior, the denial, and addictions...why should she keep quiet? The kids already know. Their family life has probably been a nightmare for quite some time. I think she validated the rest of us by coming forward. Now, we don't feel alone!

Sara, looking drained, and acting "crazy" by spilling the beans is a very natural position to be in - given what she has gone through trying to get her husband to admit his bad behavior and seek professional mental health.

Learn from this. Porn is the root of all evil. It destroys everything in its path.

All of you that have left your partner with sexual addiction - - Good for you = You can now take care of yourself and trust me, YOU will be better off.

60. Well done Sara!

Kick the sexual addict out of your life! There is nothing more you can do for him! He is very sick and he was sucking the life out of her. Husband has kicked Sara to the gutter for long enough.

I wish I had the guts to come forward and tell my family & friends that my spouse has the same MENTAL ILLNESS. This porn addiction is of epidemic proportion and most spouses are ignoring it, justifying it, and making excuses for their partner's behavior. Pay attention and make it stop before it is too late.

My hat is off to Sara for coming forward and telling it for what it is.....It is a NO WIN situation. She had to get out FAST.

Her children will be better off and respect her in the long run for protecting them from her soon to be ex-husband's insanity, addictions, controlling obessions and personality flaws that ONLY HE CAN FIX.

Let us not feel sorry for the husband. He is abusive and self-destructive. Sara has only reacted to that abuse. Hopefully, she will get the necessary counseling to heal herself.
