Ioan Gruffudd has accused his ex Alice Evans of inflicting "serious emotional harm" on their two young daughters.
The Fantastic Four actor, 49, alleges his estranged wife "has verbally abused and undermined me in front of the girls throughout their lives" and claims Evans has been encouraging their children not to communicate with him.
Following Evans and Gruffudd's eldest daughter filing a restraining order request against her father and his partner Bianca Wallace, which has been denied, the Mirror has seen court documents related to the petition from the minor.
