Judge Grants Taylor Frankie Paul Eight Hours of Supervised Visits Each Week

The ruling sets strict, short-term contact for Paul pending an April 30 hearing.

Overview

  • Taylor Frankie Paul, following Tuesday's virtual hearing in Utah, was limited to eight hours of supervised parenting time per week while Dakota Mortensen keeps temporary custody of their son.
  • Paul filed her own protective order less than an hour before the hearing on Mortensen’s request for his order of protection.
  • After the session, Mortensen’s attorney, Joel Kittrell, said Paul tried to “assassinate” his character as a father and pledged to lay out their case on April 30.
  • In court, Paul’s lawyer said Mortensen asked her client for sex after an alleged February assault, using the claim to challenge his account of the incident.
  • The legal fight follows leaked 2023 footage that led to a plea in abeyance on aggravated assault and to media fallout, with Disney pulling her Bachelorette season and production paused on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
