Rep. Max Miller Accused of Provoking Lawyer Amid Custody Dispute
Rep. Max Miller, a Republican from Ohio, is embroiled in a contentious legal battle involving his estranged wife, Emily Moreno, and her attorney, Andrew Zashin. During a courthouse encounter earlier this month, Miller allegedly attempted to provoke Zashin into a physical altercation. The incident occurred following a pre-trial hearing on May 7, where Miller reportedly made derogatory remarks about Zashin's fiancée, insinuating she was a prostitute. This confrontation is part of a broader custody and domestic violence dispute between Miller and Moreno, who share a two-year-old daughter. The couple married in 2022 and divorced two years later. Miller has denied allegations of domestic violence, including an accusation of shoving Moreno during a custody exchange. The legal proceedings have also involved a defamation lawsuit filed by Miller against Zashin and Moreno over abuse accusations. A ruling on a restraining order against Miller, requested by Moreno's legal team, is pending.
