Country Singer Deana Carter Files for Separation

"Strawberry Wine" singer Deana Carter has filed for legal separation from her husband, TMZ has learned.

Deana -- also famous for her song "Did I Shave My Legs for This?" -- filed the separation docs in L.A. County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences."

In the docs, Deana claims she separated from her husband Brandon Malone in August 2011 -- fewer than two years after the couple got married.

Deana wants spousal support, and is asking the court to make Brandon pay her attorneys' fees.
