Scott Wolf has been granted temporary custody of his three children and estranged wife Kelley Wolf must have no contact with any of them.
Scott Wolf has been granted temporary custody of his children.
The Party of Five actor announced earlier this month he had split from Kelley Wolf after more than 20 years of marriage, and now he has been awarded temporary sole physical and legal custody of Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and 11-year-old Lucy, with his estranged wife’s custody or parent time suspended.
Scott, 57, was also given a temporary restraining order against Kelley, 48, with documents obtained by Us Weekly magazine alleging the reality star had “engaged in an escalating pattern of behaviour that poses a substantial threat of immediate and irreparable harm to the parties’ minor children.”
Kelley’s time with the children has been suspended until a private guardian ad litem can meet with the children and provide feedback to the court.
The documents stated: “Kelley’s parent time shall be supervised by an agreed-upon third party or agency pending further order by the court.”
She is not allowed to contact Scott – who has been awarded sole and exclusive use of their family fome in Utah – or the children, and is also “restrained from posting anything on social media” regarding the divorce, the children or the actor.
A failure to comply may lead to a fine or even time in jail.
The order was put in place after the former Real World star allegedly tried to take the children out of the country and displayed “behaviour sufficient for Kelley to be detained by law enforcement and subsequently placed on an involuntary psychiatric commitment.”
A hearing has been set for 1 July, when the court will determine if Kelley can have supervised time with the children and also address any financial issues.
The temporary order will stay in place until 9 July.
Days after news of the former couple’s split was announced, Kelly was hospitalised under an involuntary 5150 hold – which is described as “a critical intervention used to detain individuals who are considered a danger to themselves or others or are gravely disabled due to a mental disorder” – but was discharged days later and insisted earlier this week that she is “fine”.
She insisted on Instagram on Monday (23.06.25): “I’m fine, y’all. I’m happy.
“No mental illness. No addictions. Just a woman who SURVIVED an involuntary 5150 and went on a 1st DATE 2-night. So nervous! OMG!”
She also admitted she had “called suicide hotlines.(20 yrs ago)”.
She added: “I had my heart shattered and my body bruised… but still kickin!! Hello! [cry laughing emoi]…
“In other words: I’m ALIVE. I’m not quiet anymore. And the show’s just getting started.(sic)”
