Scott Wolf and his ex-wife Kelley’s divorce and custody battle has taken another dramatic turn. Kelley was arrested in Utah on August 26, 2025, leaving fans confused as she claimed she didn’t know why she was taken into custody and urged them to fight for her. Now, new details about the charges have come to light.
According to US Weekly, Scott Wolf, 57, contacted police after receiving harassing messages from Kelley. Officers found that he was getting dozens of calls and texts from unknown numbers. It was later revealed that Kelley had allegedly leaked Scott’s personal phone number on Instagram, referring to him as “dimples” in the post. The number was the same one Scott used to communicate with their children, and the sudden flood of calls and texts created chaos. Within 10 minutes, he reportedly received over 20 calls and numerous messages. Police classified it as harassment and noted that Kelley refused to answer questions when approached. Her family reportedly expressed concern over her mental health and requested that she be held until a judge and a mental health professional could assess her.
Kelley’s arrest came just days before an emergency custody hearing scheduled for August 28, 2025. Scott has requested protective orders for their three children. Legal experts suggest the court could impose stricter protective measures against Kelley if her behavior is seen as a threat, and in extreme cases, her parental rights could be further restricted. Currently, she only has supervised visitation and limited video call contact with the children.
This arrest is part of a long, messy custody battle that started in June 2025. Scott was granted temporary sole physical custody of their three kids—Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 10—after claiming Kelley’s behavior posed an “immediate and irreparable” threat. Court records include previous incidents, such as attempts to break visitation rules and one allegation of Kelley waving a knife in the air. Kelley has also consistently shared screenshots and updates from the case on social media, keeping the drama in the public eye.
