Jax Taylor’s Lawyer Claims Brittany Cartwright Is Trying to ‘Beat Him Down’ as Court Fight Escalates

Key Points:

• Jax Taylor's attorney accuses Brittany Cartwright of using the custody and restraining order dispute to wear Taylor down and hopes to pressure him into relapsing from sobriety, calling her recent custody concerns fabricated emergencies.
• Cartwright obtained a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Taylor on August 27, which suspends his visitation with their son Cruz until a September 17 hearing, while Taylor denies abuse allegations and accuses Cartwright of interfering with his work and reputation.
• Taylor's lawyer emphasizes Taylor's continued sobriety since leaving treatment and claims Cartwright's actions aim to cause a relapse, while Taylor himself acknowledges regrettable behavior during his addiction but remains committed to recovery.
• The custody situation is complex: although Taylor is barred from visiting Cruz until the hearing, the court has not granted Cartwright sole custody, and the couple had previously agreed to joint legal custody with a set visitation schedule.
• Taylor alleges that Cartwright's interference cost him a $175,000 TV job and asks the court to restrict her from contacting his employers and to maintain distance and limited communication focused solely on their son Cruz; the next hearing is set for September 17 to address these issues.
