A judge has issued an arrest warrant for country singer SARA EVANS' ex-husband over allegations he has failed to keep up with child support payments.

The musician divorced Craig Schelske in 2007 and they have been locked in a custody battle over their three kids since 2011.

According to Tmz.com, there is now a warrant out for Schelske's arrest after he allegedly fell behind with child support payments to his former wife.

The report also suggests Schelske has filed for bankruptcy, listing $333,000 (£208,000) of debts to Evans, among other creditors.

In documents obtained by the website, he claims to only have chickens, firearms, books and Dvds as assets.
