Jillian Shriner, a best-selling author and the spouse of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, has initiated divorce proceedings against the musician. The filing comes just nine months after she was involved in a violent altercation with officers from the Los Angeles Police Department.
Marriage Dissolution After Two Decades
According to reports from TMZ, Jillian Shriner, 52, is separating from the 90s rock star, 60, after 20 years of marriage. She formally submitted the divorce petition on Tuesday, with the court documents stating 'irreconcilable differences' as the grounds for the split. The listed date of separation is currently marked as 'To Be Determined' (TBD).
Custody Arrangements and Financial Support
The couple, who have been married for two decades, share two children who are still minors, aged 17 and 13. In her filing, Jillian Shriner is seeking joint legal and physical custody of both children. On the financial front, she has also requested spousal support from Scott Shriner.
Notably, she has taken the step to prevent the court from awarding any spousal support to her husband. It remains publicly unknown whether the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place prior to their marriage.
Background and Previous Incident
This legal action follows a high-profile incident involving Jillian Shriner and the LAPD nine months ago. The details of that violent encounter were widely reported, though the exact connection to the current divorce filing is not specified in the legal documents. The couple were last seen together publicly in 2018.
