Scott Wolf Seeks Emergency Restraining Order in High-Profile Divorce

Imagine sliding into a very awkward DM—now multiply that vibe by a legal subpoena. That’s pretty much the energy around Scott Wolf’s latest court move. The Party of Five alum quietly filed for a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife, Real World vet Kelley Wolf, in a Utah courthouse this week, TMZ confirms.
Keeping feelings on ice seems to be the plan here: the filing is sealed, so we don’t know exactly what Scott alleges, but his own declaration and a supporting statement from his brother, Michael Wolf, are locked away. It’s the kind of hush-hush drama that fuels tabloid headlines—and social feeds.
Scott and Kelley stunned fans earlier this month by announcing the end of their 20-year marriage, a union that produced three kids and countless red carpet moments. Sources tell Us Weekly that things took a darker turn when local law enforcement stepped in two weeks ago, detaining Kelley for a mental-health evaluation. The incident was briefly public before her release, but it set the stage for Scott’s restraining order, which Us Weekly first reported.
A friend of Kelley’s, speaking on condition of anonymity, called Scott’s request “unwarranted and hurtful,” insisting it’s “so sad for the kids” caught in between. Meanwhile, Scott’s camp is sticking to the legal script, citing safety concerns they won’t publicly detail. It’s a classic celebrity divorce power play: sealed docs, conflicting mini-statements, and parental anxiety all in one messy package.
Even with the walls of the courtroom closed off from the public, this saga is already trending on Twitter under #WolfGate, where fans debate everything from mental-health stigma to custody battles. No official hearing date has been announced, but insiders expect a status check in the coming weeks. Everyone’s braced for more sealed revelations—if they ever see the light of day.
Family courts have their own rules, and for now, Scott and Kelley are playing by them. But let’s be real: once two reality stars and a primetime actor get involved, it’s only a matter of time before the next chapter goes public. Anyway, that’s the tea—watch this space, because if this blows up, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
