Scott Wolf's Divorce Drama: Legal Tug-of-War with Estranged Wife Kelley

Scott Wolf, 57, on Tuesday filed court documents in Utah asking for a restraining order against wife Kelley Wolf, 48

SCANDAL ALERT!

The seemingly idyllic marriage of Party of Five star Scott Wolf and Kelley Wolf has turned into a messy divorce battle, with both parties digging in their heels and throwing some serious shade.

At the center of the drama is Scott's recent filing for a restraining order against his estranged wife, claiming she's been making him feel "so sad" and "cruel" towards their three kids - Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11. But Kelley isn't backing down, with insiders close to her saying she's determined to "fight like hell" for her children.

The drama unfolded in Utah court documents, where Scott, 57, accused his wife of being "ready to fight like hell" for their kids. His brother Michael Wolf also weighed in, submitting a declaration that has further fueled the tensions between the couple.

But Kelley, a mental health professional and Arkansas native, isn't going down without a fight. She's been vocal about her desire to move on from the marriage, which she claims ended long ago. "I initiated a separation almost a year ago," she said in a statement. "I've been trying to file for divorce for months, but delays with legal counsel slowed the process."

Kelley's reality TV background, including appearances on MTV's The Real World: New Orleans and Real World/ Road Rules Challenge in 2000, has given her a thick skin, and she's not afraid to speak her mind. In fact, she was detained and hospitalized by authorities in Utah just last month after an Instagram Live segment went awry.

In the midst of the drama, Kelley has been sharing updates on social media, including a post about being held against her will by a "small but very vocal group" of friends who were trying to help her during a difficult time. A Summit County Sheriff's Office report appeared to reference Michael Wolf, Scott's brother, stating that he had arrived at the home and was meant to be helping with the kids.

Scott, who rose to fame playing Bailey Salinger on Party of Five from 1994-2000 alongside Neve Campbell, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Matthew Fox, and Lacey Chabert, has been quiet about the drama. But an insider close to him says he's focused on protecting his children and moving forward.

"It's not a surprise that Scott is trying to protect himself and his kids from Kelley's antics," the source said. "He's just trying to move forward and create a safe environment for their family."

As the divorce battle continues, fans of Party of Five are left wondering what could have gone so wrong in this once-happy marriage. With both parties throwing shade and making accusations, it looks like things are only going to get uglier from here.
