Jaime King's husband Kyle Newman has hit out at the restraining order she obtained through court, saying it is based on "false claims."
The 41-year-old American actress had been granted a temporary order but was left "distraught" that she couldn't force their children away from his care.
Filmmaker Kyle, 44, has slammed the judge's verdict and Jaime for going to court saying he was "deeply saddened"by the decision, as their divorce takes a turn towards nasty.
TMZ has reported that Kyle's spokesperson said: "Kyle was deeply saddened by Jaime’s attempt to obtain court orders based solely on false claims without providing him any opportunity to respond.
"As a result, he was extremely pleased that the judge nevertheless permitted their children to remain in his care."
Kyle will carry on as having primary care for the couple's four and six year old sons, whose godmother is reportedly Taylor Swift.
The statement continued: "As Kyle continues to solo parent, as he has done throughout this pandemic, he remains entirely focused on putting the children’s stability and welfare first.
"Kyle wants nothing but the best for his whole family and hopes that Jaime can find the peace and help she needs.”
It has been reported that Jaime filed the divorce documents on Monday in Los Angeles.
She has been married to Kyle since 2007 but it is unclear as to what has prompted the decision to divorce or why Jaime wanted a restraining order against her husband, though documents show that she filed a domestic violence prevention petition.
While the judge approved the order, the emergency motion that related to him having custody of their children and any subsequent visitations were "denied without prejudice."
A source close to the actress told People thar "she's distraught," by that decision.
