Scandalous Split: Amid Kellеy and Scott Wolf's Divorce the Actress Is Cut off from Her Children — Details

What began as a dignified split after 21 years of marriage has morphed into a shocking public meltdown, complete with social media rants, disturbing accusations, and a courtroom showdown that no one saw coming.

The once-golden couple — actor Scott Wolf, 57, and his estranged wife Kelley Wolf — are now embroiled in a bitter custody battle after a Utah judge issued a protective order against Kelley on August 28, barring her from contacting Scott or their three children amid accusations of harassment and escalating behavior.

From Marital Bliss To Police Calls And Courtroom Drama

In a bombshell court order reviewed by People, Kelley is now prohibited from any direct or indirect contact with her estranged husband or their children — Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11.

The judge also mandated that she stay at least 300 feet away from the family and only communicate with Scott during supervised mediation sessions.

Until the next court hearing, scheduled for September 10, Kelley is barred from using drugs or alcohol and is only allowed to return to the couple's former home under police escort to collect her belongings. Meanwhile, Scott has been granted temporary sole custody of their three children — a stunning reversal for the family once hailed for its unity.

Instagram Post Ignites Legal Firestorm

The dramatic legal twist came just hours after Kelley posted Scott's personal phone number on Instagram, which authorities say triggered a "barrage of phone calls and text messages from unknown people."

According to TMZ, she was booked into Summit County Jail and has yet to appear before a judge. Kelley's erratic behavior in the days leading up to her arrest stunned followers and officials alike. In a chaotic Instagram post, she raged:

"WTF!!! I have begged for help from the police since last December. Can anyone explain what the [expletive] is going on around here. I've never been happier in my [expletive] life. I'm in love, I'm having a party, and I just saw my kids for the first time in three months. Does anybody have any more questions or can I take a [expletive] nap now [sic]."

In a disturbing video clip, Kelley was taken into custody by the police. Shaken, she told the officers, "Oh my God, this is not happening. Fine, I'll go, I'll go on my own. Wow, this is shameful, gentlemen. Be ashamed of yourselves. Scott Wolf has been abusing me, and now you're abusing me more."

The officers firmly responded, "We haven't talked to Scott Wolf."

From 'Best Partner' To Bitter Enemies – The Unraveling Of A Two-Decades Long Union

Just months ago, Kelley took to Instagram to announce the end of their marriage with a heavy heart, saying:

"It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage… Scott Wolf is one of the best fathers I've ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with. … My priority has always been their wellbeing—and my own healing. That will never change."

Scott echoed the sentiment, telling People, "After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley. Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter [sic]."

But the mutual admiration didn't last long.

Scott Fires Back: 'Completely Baseless And Incredibly Dangerous'

In late August, Scott issued a stinging public statement, accusing Kelley of launching a malicious campaign of lies in a calculated attempt to gain the upper hand in court. According to the actor, Kelley had admitted in text messages that she planned to make false claims of psychological abuse and child endangerment.

He warned, "Although her claims are completely baseless and incredibly dangerous, the worst part is that they are traumatic for our children. I hope that anyone who might speak publicly or report on such things, will consider this before spreading any further information from a clearly unreliable and completely compromised source [sic]."
