Michelle Branch Calls Off Divorce from Estranged Husband Patrick Carney, Will Work on Marriage

[Zach F]

Michelle Branch and Patrick Carney are calling off their divorce and will spend time working on their marriage.

Back on August 11, Michelle announced that she split from Patrick after three years of marriage and she accused him of cheating. She was then arrested for domestic violence after allegedly hitting him during an argument.

Michelle officially filed for divorce a couple days later and the domestic assault charge was later dropped.

 

Now, People reports that the couple has suspended their divorce proceedings for six months and a judge signed off on the request on Tuesday (September 13). They will undergo counseling and decided after six months if they will proceed with the divorce.

The documents read, "As evidenced by the signatures below, that the parties, Michelle Jacquet Branch and Patrick James Carney, are seeking a suspension of the divorce proceedings in this cause to effect reconciliation. The parties may participate in counseling services to effectuate reconciliation and/or may resume living together as husband and wife and their acts and conduct in doing so shall not be determined condonation of any prior misconduct and all acts or actions by the parties prior to the entry of this order shall remain and constitute grounds for divorce."
