Dwight Howard Withdraws Protective Order as Divorce Talks Turn Toward Amicable Deal

His lawyer says the move is meant to clear the way for a cooperative settlement.

Overview

  • Dwight Howard dropped the temporary protective order, his attorney said Wednesday, framing it as the first step toward resolving the divorce without further conflict.
  • The order granted last week had required Amy Luciani, legally Amber Howard, to stay about 100 yards from Howard, his Georgia home, two of his children, and their school.
  • In court papers, Howard alleged threats and checked a box saying she had at some point threatened him with a deadly weapon, which Luciani denied as a false, retaliatory claim.
  • Both sides filed for divorce on March 9 after a 14-month marriage, following an earlier set of filings in July 2025 that ended in reconciliation.
  • Police logs show officers went to Howard’s Suwanee home three days in a row from March 5–7 for a reported suicide threat, a domestic incident, and a theft complaint documented on body camera, as Howard’s attorney now urges privacy while talks continue.
