Michael’s Los Angeles court request comes after he included a statement among his divorce documents, claiming he was requesting a domestic violence restraining order against DeAnna.

In the filing, the actor said he and DeAnna had separated shortly after their son Hudson’s death on Jan. 25, 2022.

DeAnna responded, “Michael is struggling with his own personal issues. Myself and our children have been supporting him to the best of our ability. We would request privacy at this time,” per the outlet.

“I didn’t see any signs of depression. It’s so tragic and sad. I’m just trying to make sense of everything and understand what happened,” he said at the time.

Madsen is also father to sons Christian, 34, and Max, 30, from a previous relationship with Jeannine Bisignano.
