The contentious divorce betweenReal Housewives of New Jerseystar Danielle Staub and husband Marty Caffrey took another dark turn Thursday, aspolice removed Caffrey from the New Jersey home they used to share.
Earlier in the day, an N.J. court granted Staub, 56, a temporary 10-day restraining order for her and her two daughters (Jillian, 20, and Christine, 24) against Caffrey, PEOPLE can confirm. Staub had filed a complaint with Englewood, New Jersey, police on Wednesday night. The exeshad already been granted restraining orders against each other,though both were later dropped.
Reps for Caffrey did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment, while a rep for Staub confirmed that “Danielle was granted a temporary restraining order against her husband to ensure her safety. He must vacate the marital residence.”
The source adds that Caffrey may have been unaware of the order when Staub called authorities to their home asked to have it enforced on Thursday. Police waited for Caffrey to pack his belongings before escorting him off the property, the insider says.
Staub and Caffrey, who began dating in April 2016, married in May 2018 in a sunsetbohemian beach ceremonyheld on the Bahamas’ North Bimini Island at the Luna Beach Club. The wedding recently aired onRHONJ.
Caffrey filed for divorce in August. Heput their house on the market in November,and Staub filed a counterclaim in Decemberalleging verbal and physical abuse as her reasons for seeking a separation. (Caffrey has denied all of Staub’s allegations.)
Even before the split, theirRHONJcastmates saw signs the couple might be in trouble. On the show, Staub told a dinner table of their friendsthat Caffrey’s kids “hate” her.
When Margaret Josephs’ husband Joe Benigno andTeresa Giudice‘s brother Joe Gorga confronted Caffrey about Staub during a recent episode, he told them, “She’s a challenge. I like challenges.”

In October, Staub told PEOPLE exclusively that she and Caffrey were never able to overcome their problems.
“I think he just likes the attention of people fighting over him — for him, with him,” she said. “People think that I love to fight and I don’t know how to live like that. I really don’t.”
Caffrey, in a statement to PEOPLE at the time, said, “This is not my world nor do I have any further interest in it. These are manufactured celebrities in manufactured lives who manufacture their own truths. I look forward to getting back to my reality among real people. My loving family and vast amount of friends.”
He added to PEOPLE in December that he does not predict a reconciliation with Staub.
“Am I just another victim of the Housewives? All for a reality show? Danielle is very good at manufacturing truths and Iʼm sure that she will continue to spew salacious lies and fabrications as the divorce proceeds through the courts,” he said. “I will not play in her gutter.”
