Jack White’s Divorce Finalized
Jack White has officially divorced his wife Karen Elson.
The former White Stripes rocker married the model in 2005, but they split in 2011 after Karen filed for divorce, and court records have revealed a judge finalized proceedings on November 26 after months of bitter spats, according to Billboard.
The pair reached an agreement naming Karen as the primary residential parent for the couple's two children, Scarlett Teresa, seven, and Henry Lee, six, while Jack has been granted around 150 days per year to spend with them. The agreement also states that Jack, 38, has been granted permission to keep the rights to his musical businesses - which include his bands The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Dead Weather and his record label, Third Man Records.
His separation from 34-year-old Karen was amicable in the beginning and they even threw a "divorce party" to celebrate the end of their union - but the situation escalated into a series of shocking accusations.
Karen filed a restraining order on July 17, claiming Jack made attempts to contact her lawyers "in an inappropriate aggressive manner" in addition to making derogatory remarks and allegedly flying into a violent rage, which he denied. "Wife fears for her and the children's safety as a result of this harassment. This pattern of husband's bullying wife into submission was a contributing factor in the demise of their marriage," the filing reportedly stated.
