Rep. Max Miller's divorce from Sen. Bernie Moreno's daughter gets ugly
Share this @internewscast.com

WASHINGTON — Ohio Representative Max Miller is embroiled in a contentious custody dispute with his ex-wife, which has led to a police investigation concerning their 2-year-old’s fractured collarbone, as indicated by court records.

Following the birth of their daughter, the former Trump aide filed for divorce from Emily Moreno in 2024. Initially, both parties agreed on a child support payment of $2,500 per month from Miller.

Last month, Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), sought to revise their shared parenting arrangement due to concerns about Miller’s conduct.

In court documents first reported by TMZ, Emily claimed, “Miller often addresses me in an inappropriate, aggressive, and demeaning manner, which is not beneficial for our child.”

She further alleged, “Miller has engaged in dangerous physical behavior in the presence of our child. I do not believe it is in our daughter’s best interest for Miller and me to make decisions together regarding her welfare.”

Emily expressed fear that attempting to make joint decisions, coupled with Miller’s lack of cooperation, could directly harm their daughter.

That drew the congressman’s legal wrath. Miller countered that his ex-wife’s conduct has “become increasingly confrontational, irrational and somewhat bizarre.”

He then alleged that she “repeated and unsubstantiated allegations of abuse of” their daughter to local police and family services.

Specifically, police looked into concerns about their daughter’s broken collarbone and bruised shoulder while the congressman was watching her.

The Ohio rep claimed that local authorities investigated the matter and “apparently cleared” him, but made sure he had a booster seat installed properly in his vehicle.

But an investigation into possible child abuse is technically still listed as active by local police. And the police have not publicly divulged any conclusions from the probe.

Miller pushed the court to mandate that both he and his ex-wife undergo psychological evaluations to determine custody.

”If Mr. Miller is looking for an individual with abusive behavior, he should look in the mirror and past the veneers,” Emily’s attorney Andrew Zashin said in a statement. 

More recently, Miller moved to subpoena his ex-father-in-law, Bernie, a populist ally of Vice President JD Vance and former luxury auto mogul.

Mr. Miller has already lost in court, Zashin added, “His desperate and entirely false allegations against his ex-wife concerning their daughter were thrown out of court.”

“These baseless claims are nothing more than a cynical attempt by Mr. Miller to weaponize the legal system against his ex-wife, a strong, loving mother who refuses to submit to his coercive control.”

Miller, who was elected to the House in 2022, did multiple stints in the first Trump administration, including a Treasury Department role, serving as an associate director of the Presidential Personnel Office, and as a special assistant to the president.

The second-term congressman previously had a nasty defamation battle with former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, his ex-girlfriend, over her book detailing their allegedly toxic relationship.

She publicly alleged that her relationship with an unnamed White House staffer “turned abusive” and “had become violent.” Miller voluntarily dismissed that suit in 2023.

When asked for a comment, Miller’s team referred The Post to his attorney’s statement.

“The only person who has been granted a restraining order by a court of law is Rep. Max Miller,” an attorney for the congressman said in a statement first given to TMZ.

“The evidence brought against his ex-wife Ms. Moreno was enough to convince a judge that she was a threat to the Congressman.”

Restraining orders are often given in divorce or custody battles, requiring the ex-spouses to stay away from each other until there’s additional consideration by the courts.
