Melissa Etheridge Files for Separation

Singer Melissa Etheridge has filed for dissolution of her domestic partnership with actress Tammy Lynn Michaels, citing “irreconcilable differences,” TMZ reported  Friday. The couple’s plans to marry in 2008, during the brief legal same-sex marriage window, were foiled when the law was overturned. Though it’s not a divorce, things are getting ugly already with the dissolution. Etheridge has reportedly asked for joint custody of their 4-year-old twins and her lawyer is also allegedly asking the judge to reject any requests from Michaels for financial support.
