A judge has awarded Party of Five star Scott Wolf temporary sole custody of his three kids amid a nasty divorce fight with his estranged wife Kelley. Scott’s request for a temporary restraining order was also granted. Kelley has “engaged in an escalating pattern of behavior that poses a substantial threat of immediate and irreparable harm” to the former couple’s kids, court documents claimed, according to People. The restraining order was issued after Kelley allegedly tried to take the kids—Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11—out of the country. The judge also cited an incident on June 13 in which police handcuffed Kelley, 48, and took her to a hospital for a mental health evaluation. According to law enforcement she had made “concerning” comments to a family member and responding deputies. That episode came just days after Scott, 57, filed to dissolve the couple’s 21-year marriage. While the temporary order remains in effect through July 9, a court hearing on Tuesday will decide whether Kelley may have supervised contact with the children. Scott has been awarded sole and exclusive use of their Park City, Utah home.
