Boebert granted restraining order against ex-husband after alleged threats

Published February 5, 2024 10:46pm ET



A judge granted a temporary restraining order for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) against her ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, on Friday after the Colorado lawmaker accused him of domestic abuse. The order also provides protections to the couple’s three younger sons.

Lauren Boebert listed multiple reasons for seeking the restraining order, naming incidents between 2022 and Friday that included “abusing children in household” and “threat by damage to property,” according to the Colorado Sun. The order was approved by a Garfield County judge, and a hearing for a permanent restraining order is set for Thursday. The order states that Jayson Boebert can’t have any contact with his ex-wife or their three minor children and must stay 100 yards away from them, the local paper reported.
