LOS ANGELES — Ambyr Childers, who was married to filmmaker Randall Emmett for eight years, is seeking a domestic violence restraining order from her ex-husband.
Childers, an actor who most recently appeared on Netflix’s “You,” filed the request Monday in L.A. County Superior Court, citing “legitimate fear for [her] safety and well-being.” On Tuesday, her request for an emergency temporary order was denied by a judge who cited lack of proof, but a hearing to review the matter was set for Nov. 14.
According to her petition, Childers sought the restraining order after discovering “threatening” correspondence between Emmett and his attorney. Childers said in her declaration that she emailed Emmett last Friday to alert him that she had received notice from their elder daughter’s school complaining she was continually late while under Emmett’s care. (She and Emmett share joint legal and physical custody of two daughters, ages 12 and 8.) When Emmett responded, Childers said, his message included copies of emails he had exchanged with his family law attorney, Ben Valencia.
