Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife Tish have filed for divorce and joint custody of their children after 17 years of marriage.
 
Clarified in divorce papers filed Tuesday, Oct. 26, Cyrus seeks to “share the care, custody and control” of the three minor children he conceived with wife Tish: Miley, months from 18; Braison, 16; and Noah, 10. Both parents have three older children from previous relationships.
 
The papers state Cyrus, “has no information of any custody proceedings," citing “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of the split. Cyrus will request, “the court to equitably divide the marital estate.”
 
Cyrus is trying to ease his emotions with spiritual help, quoting scriptures on his Twitter. The same day he filed for divorce, he posted on his Twitter account, "Psalm 21 He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you shall take refuge. Truth will be your shield and buckler."
