Overview
- A Los Angeles judge granted Cartwright a temporary domestic violence restraining order on Thursday, Aug. 27, ordering Taylor to stay at least 100 yards from her, her home, her car and their son’s school.
- Cartwright’s declaration, filed with exhibits, lists about 12 alleged incidents dating back to 2017 and includes photos of injuries, transcripts and messages she says document threats, physical attacks, property damage and unauthorized access to her devices.
- The court denied Cartwright’s immediate request for sole custody and suspended Taylor’s visitation rights until a contested hearing, with a custody and evidence hearing set for Sept. 17.
- Taylor has posted that he is sober and said he disputes some allegations, while his attorney accused Cartwright of using the internet against him and pointed to the absence of contemporaneous police reports.
- The coming hearings will determine whether temporary protections are extended, how the submitted exhibits are weighed and what custody arrangement is ordered, outcomes that will directly shape how the parents co-parent their 5-year-old son Cruz.
