ABC7 New York anchor Liz Cho has asked a Connecticut court for a protective order in her increasingly contentious divorce from former CBS host Josh Elliott — though it has nothing to do with personal safety. Cho is seeking to block a deposition Elliott's attorneys scheduled without first confirming her availability, according to court documents cited by TMZ.

The divorce trial has been pushed to October by Judge Steven Dembo, who has also ordered Cho to disclose more information about a reported $500,000 transfer from the couple's joint account to her teenage daughter from a previous marriage. Elliott filed for divorce in June 2025.
