Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's heated divorce seems to be boiling down. The former couple's restraining order hearing that was originally set for Friday, June 17, has been postponed.
A spokesperson for the LA Superior Court confirmed that the case will now be held on August 15 and 16, following a telephone discussion between the judge and the former couple's lawyers on Thursday.
The temporary restraining order against the actor will remain in effect until that time, the spokesperson added.
