Overview
- A judge granted Jax Taylor a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife in early September and the order is set to expire on September 24, the same day a court hearing will consider longer‑term relief.
- Brittany Cartwright previously obtained her own temporary restraining order in late August after accusing Taylor of years of coercive and physical abuse, and her petition remains part of the family‑court docket.
- In his filing, Taylor asked the court to bar Cartwright from contacting him and to stay at least 100 yards away, and he accused her of contacting potential employers and costing him a reported $175,000 role on Fox’s Special Forces.
- Taylor also alleges Cartwright has been negligent with their five‑year‑old autistic son and has refused to cooperate on the child’s medical needs, while Cartwright’s castmates have publicly backed her and described Taylor’s behavior as ongoing.
- Both orders are temporary civil measures that do not resolve guilt; the September hearings will weigh the competing declarations, text messages and other evidence and could shape custody, access and the parties’ public and professional futures.
