Lawyer for GOP Rep. Max Miller's ex-wife files for restraining order as abuse allegations against congressman swirl

Key Points:

• Emily Moreno, ex-wife of Republican Rep. Max Miller, requested a court restraining order to prevent Miller from contacting her lawyer amid ongoing allegations of assault, which Miller denies.
• Moreno alleges Miller has physically and verbally harassed her attorney following custody hearings, with both parties already under mutual restraining orders; they share a young daughter from their brief marriage (2022-2025).
• Court documents and police reports detail multiple allegations of physical abuse by Miller against Moreno and their child, including a February 2025 incident where Miller allegedly threw Moreno against a wall and an injury to their daughter consistent with abuse.
• Miller denies all allegations, maintains joint custody of their daughter, and has accused Moreno of defamation and harming their child; he also filed and later dropped a domestic violence case against Moreno.
• The dispute has drawn public attention during Miller’s reelection campaign, with both sides presenting conflicting evidence and accusations, while Miller’s campaign continues to deny wrongdoing and defend his reputation.
