Jaime King granted temporary restraining order against husband Kyle Newman

Jaime King has been granted a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband Kyle Newman.

The Hart of Dixie actress, 41, who filed for divorce and a domestic violence prevention on May 18 (US Time), has received a partial restraining order with Newman ordered to stay 100 yards (approx. 90 metres) from the actress, Page Six reports.

According to court documents obtained by People, the order was approved to be upheld until a hearing occurs on June 8. Meanwhile, King's filing for an emergency motion related to child custody and visitation had been "denied without prejudice."

"She's distraught," a source close to King told People.

"Kyle was deeply saddened by Jaime's attempt to obtain court orders based solely on false claims without providing him any opportunity to respond," a spokesperson for Newman told Page Six.

The pair met on the film set for Fanboys in 2005. They tied the knot in 2007 in Los Angeles and share two sons, James Knight, six, and Leo Thames, four.
