Jason Isbell is divorcing his wife, Amanda Shires — and there’s an ironclad prenup that he wants the court to enforce.
The famous country music couple — who’ve been together for over a decade now — are ending their marriage of 11 years … this after Jason ran to court in Tennessee this week and filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
According to the docs, obtained by 360aproko , Jason says their date of separation was Dec. 3 of 2023 … and he goes on request joint custody of their 8-year-old daughter, Mercy.
JI also says he and Amanda will enter into a Parenting Plan … and even submitted a certificate highlighting the fact that he’s recently obtained a parenting skills certificate that helps people navigate their children through divorce. So, he’s ready for the challenge.
No mention of spousal support here, but presumably … all of that is hashed out in their prenuptial agreement, which he says was executed 2 days before their wedding in 2013.
One other thing … there’s a restraining order that was submitted in his filing — but it’s a standard thing there in TN, and has nothing to do with claims of misconduct. It’s simply there to tell both parties not to move any assets until a judge can go through and divvy things up.
Jason says that while a prenup is in place, he notes there’s separate property between him and Amanda that needs to be allocated and divided — which will be handled later.
Like we said, Jason and Amanda have been together for a long time — and the fact they often perform together is hitting their fans even harder now that they’re splitting up.
Neither Jason nor Amanda has addressed the divorce yet.
