Los Angeles, CA – June 26, 2025 – Actor Scott Wolf, best known for his role in Party of Five, has filed for a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, as their divorce proceedings take a contentious turn. The filing, made on Tuesday, June 24, in a Utah court, comes just two weeks after the couple announced their separation after 21 years of marriage.
According to court documents, which remain under seal, Scott Wolf, 57, is seeking court-ordered protection from Kelley Wolf, 48, amid their ongoing divorce. The Everwood star’s brother, Michael Wolf, also provided a declaration in support of the restraining order request. While specific details of the allegations are not publicly available, the filing follows a series of dramatic events involving Kelley’s recent hospitalization.
On June 13, Kelley Wolf was detained by Utah law enforcement and placed on an involuntary 5150 hold for a mental health evaluation, an incident she partially documented on Instagram Live. In subsequent social media posts, Kelley claimed she was “held against her will” and insisted she was “fine” and “happy,” denying any mental health issues or addictions. She also stated that she had initiated a separation from Scott a year prior, though Scott confirmed he filed for divorce on June 9, calling it “the most difficult decision of my life.”
The couple, married since 2004, share three children: Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11. The divorce announcement came on June 10, with Kelley describing Scott as “one of the best fathers I’ve ever known” in an Instagram post. However, tensions appear to have escalated, with a 911 call from their Utah home on June 13 revealing a reported “family fight,” according to an incident report obtained by Us Weekly. Kelley has since shared updates about spending time with her children and returning home after living out of her car and staying with a neighbor.
Scott Wolf has remained relatively private, posting sparingly on social media, including a recent photo with his children captioned, “My Forever Squad.” His only public statement since the divorce announcement reiterated his commitment to his family and the difficulty of the decision to end the marriage.
The restraining order filing marks a significant escalation in the couple’s public split, drawing attention from media outlets and fans alike. Kelley has hinted at potential legal action following her hospitalization, stating she “reserves the right to pursue” it, though she has vowed not to discuss details publicly.
As the divorce proceedings continue, the situation remains fluid, with both parties navigating personal and legal challenges. Neither Scott nor Kelley has commented further on the restraining order. The case is expected to progress in Utah courts, where the couple resides with their children.
