Winans, known widely for both his solo recordings and collaborations with CeCe Winans, was arrested after allegedly pushing his ex-wife and mother of his children to the ground during an argument last month.
Court filings that were first obtained by TheSmokingGun.com indicate that the gospel balladeer had a "verbal altercation" with his ex-wife on Feb. 13 about "custody issues dealing with their children."
The pre-Valentine's Day incident took place at his ex's Nashville home, where the 46-year-old singer had driven to pick up his children.
The filing also claims: "The victim was telling the defendant of issues with the children when he became irate. The defendant then pushed the victim to the ground. The victim was in fear of bodily injury."
An official affidavit filed in February, says Winans then became irate when "the victim was telling the defendant (Winans) of issues with the children".
