Weezer bassist Scott Shriner’s wife, Jillian Lauren-Shriner, has filed for divorce after two decades of marriage.
Lauren-Shriner, 52, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for her filing, according to legal documents obtained by PEOPLE. She did not list a date of separation.
The former couple tied the knot in November 2005 in Hawaii. During their 20-year marriage, they welcomed two sons: Jovanni Starshine, 13, and Tariku Moon, 17. Lauren-Shriner is seeking joint legal and physical custody.
Lauren-Shriner asked for spousal support and requested that the court’s ability to award Shriner spousal support be terminated. Lauren-Shriner also requested that Shriner, 60, pay her attorney fees and that her last name be restored to Lauren.

The divorce filing comes months after Lauren-Shriner announced via Instagram in March that she was diagnosed with cancer; she later shared that she had two back-to-back surgeries, including a full hysterectomy.
On April 8, Lauren-Shriner was shot by police near the couple’s home in Los Angeles’ Eagle Rock neighborhood. At the time, a manhunt was underway for three suspects allegedly involved in a hit-and-run fled to the Shriners’ neighborhood.
Lauren-Shriner had no involvement in the hit-and-run, but she was armed and fired her weapon at an officer while in a backyard, police said. “She repeatedly ignored police commands to disarm and that she fired her weapon at LAPD officers,” LAPD spokesperson Jennifer Forkish told PEOPLE at the time.
A responding officer then shot Lauren-Shriner once in the shoulder, and she was transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
She was later booked on an attempted murder charge before being released from custody on a $1 million bond.
She was later charged with assault and negligent discharge of a firearm and was granted a diversion program instead of jail for mental health issues, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
