Taylor Frankie Paul Now Allowed Supervised Visits With Her Son, Court Ruling
Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, appeared in court virtually to discuss visitation two weeks after he was granted temporary custody of their son. The judge ruled that Paul, 31, would have supervised time with their son, Ever, 2, for at least six hours per week until their protective hearing on April 30. The judge will reassess Paul's parenting time restrictions at that time.
The judge specified that the supervised visits should be supervised by a neutral third party, with other options discussed if both parties could agree. Concerns were raised about Paul reacting to Mortensen in anger and the possibility of unintentional child abuse. Earlier, Paul had filed a temporary protective order against Mortensen.
The court battle between Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen has been ongoing since their split in 2024. They share a son, Ever, and have been navigating coparenting since their breakup. Mortensen had sought a protective order against Paul, leading to restrictions on parent time until a scheduled hearing.
Recent updates in their case revealed that Mortensen provided evidence from a previous case involving Paul's guilty plea to aggravated assault. The situation escalated after a video of Paul throwing chairs at Mortensen surfaced, leading to the cancellation of her show and film project. Both parties have made statements regarding the incidents.
Domestic Violence Investigations
A third domestic violence investigation into Taylor Frankie Paul's conduct could impact her probation status. Authorities are reviewing allegations, and the case has been passed to the district attorney's office for further evaluation. The Draper City Police Department confirmed ongoing investigations into domestic assault incidents.
Looking ahead, a protective order hearing is scheduled for April 30 to decide on the extension of Mortensen's temporary restraining order. Both parties will participate remotely, with legal counsel present in person. Paul has expressed the impact of the situation on her and shared messages of faith during challenging times.
