Ohio Representative Max Miller is once again in the spotlight. But this time it is not due to his work. Instead, it is related to his divorce from his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, in 2025. Despite the legal separation, they are still involved in a high-profile legal battle for custody. Meanwhile, they have made serious allegations on each other in public. In a new update, Emily’s father and senator Bernie Moreno publicly criticised Max. He also mentioned that Max is a danger to his daughter and asked him to step away from the U.S. House of Representatives.
Inside Emily Moreno and Max Miller’s separation
Emily Moreno and Max Miller parted ways in August 2024. They came to the decision after after several years of marriage. In turn, their split was finalized in December 2025. However, the legal conflict between them is far from over.
Court documents reveal that Emily accused Max of physically abusing her during their marriage. At the same time, she alleged that he threw hot water on her, held a gun to her head, and caused injuries to their young daughter. Meanwhile, Max denied every allegation. In fact, he stated it was false and insisted they were made to influence the custody proceedings.
Later, the authorities, including the child protective services, investigated some of the claims related to their daughter. But they did not file criminal charges after investigators reportedly found insufficient evidence. Simultaneously, Max filed a defamation lawsuit against Emily and her legal team. He alleged that they were running a coordinated campaign to harm his personal and professional reputation. On the other hand, Emily filed for a restraining order.
For those unaware, Emily is a conservative political adviser and the daughter of Ohio Republican senator Bernie Moreno. At present, she serves as the Deputy Director of State Action at the America First Policy Institute. It is a conservative public policy organization.
Before taking on her present role, Emily made a career in Republican politics. She worked as a campaign manager during the 2020 election cycle. She also worked on the Trump Victory political team. At the same time, Emily has worked with firms like DCI Group and Big Dog Strategies. She is also involved with Ohio Right to Life as a member of the board of directors.
Overall, Emily has spent several years working behind the scenes in politics. But she recently became a center of discussion due to her legal dispute with her former husband.
Bernie Moreno publicly calls out his former son-in-law, Max Miller
Max Miller is once again in the headlines after he released a video to defend himself against the abuse claims. He claims that Emily had experienced serious mental health challenges, and he had to share it out of concern for their young daughter. He does not want to embarrass his former wife.
In turn, Emily’s father, Senator Berni Moreno, publicly defended his daughter. He explained that his daughter and family faced “pure hell” for two years. Bernie also accused Max of displaying “erratic and dangerous behavior. “
At the same time, Bernie mentioned that Max required serious psychological help and expressed concern for his daughter’s safety and Max’s custody of his granddaughter. The senator also argued that Max no longer meets the standard expected from an elected official and therefore he must resign from the U.S. House of Representatives.
