Kim Delaney's Husband Arrested Again: A Look at the Ongoing Legal Issues
Late Sunday night, February 8, James Morgan, the husband of Kim Delaney, was arrested near their Marina del Rey apartment following multiple calls to law enforcement. Booking records show that Morgan was taken into custody by deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on a misdemeanor charge and is set to appear in court on February 10. Deputies responded to several calls for service related to a noise complaint and a verbal disturbance outside the building, leading to Morgan's arrest for allegedly obstructing police.
This incident adds to the ongoing legal issues between Delaney and Morgan. Delaney had previously sought a restraining order against Morgan in October, citing abuse and harassment. A permanent restraining order was granted, prohibiting Morgan from contacting Delaney or going near her residences in California and New Jersey. He was also ordered to complete a batterer’s intervention program and was barred from possessing weapons.
Delaney and Morgan's marriage, which began in October 2022, quickly deteriorated, leading to Delaney filing for divorce in March 2023 due to irreconcilable differences. Court documents revealed allegations of physical and emotional abuse, with Delaney describing instances of being pushed, hit, and having her hair pulled by Morgan during fits of anger.
The latest arrest follows a well-publicized incident in March 2025 when both Delaney and Morgan were arrested after a domestic dispute. Despite accusations from both parties, prosecutors decided not to press criminal charges against either of them. Delaney, known for her role on NYPD Blue, has faced personal struggles in the past, including legal issues and addiction battles throughout her career on television shows like All My Children, Army Wives, and Chicago Fire.
