Report: Jill Scott Granted Restraining Order Against Her Estranged Husband

The singer and Mike Dobson split after 15 months of marriage.

Jill Scott is serious about parting ways with her estranged husband Mike Dobson.

According to Bossip.com, Jilly from Philly was granted a restraining order against Dobson on the same day that she filed for divorce (Sept 15).

Under the restraining order, neither spouse can “threaten, harass or stalk the other, nor can one trash talk the other in front of their kids. The couple cannot destroy or hide files on their hard drives or computers or hide assets from the marriage. They also can’t spend money excessively without the court’s permission and have to provide receipts for their purchases that the other party can request to see,” according to documents obtained by Bossip.com.

Jill Scott reportedly cited “irreconcilable differences” and “inappropriate marital conduct that such further cohabitation would be unsafe and improper,” as the cause for their split when she filed last month.

Scott’s estranged husband was reportedly, “blindsided,” by news of the divorce and “unaware” of the restraining order.
