Overview
- A Salt Lake City commissioner ruled on Monday, June 1 that Taylor Frankie Paul no longer needs supervised visits with her 2‑year‑old son and recommended lifting the prior supervision requirement.
- Under the new arrangement Paul will follow Utah’s minimum parent‑time framework with alternating weekend visits that include overnights and one consistent midweek daytime visit that is not overnight.
- Dakota Mortensen will remain the child’s custodial parent and the court kept mutual three‑year protective orders requiring the exes to stay 100 feet apart and to avoid public disparagement.
- The custody change follows months of police inquiries, a resurfaced 2023 video that disrupted Paul’s TV projects, and the Salt Lake County district attorney’s office declining to file new criminal charges related to the recent incidents.
- The judge set a follow‑up hearing for July 8, ordered both parents to continue therapy, and the ruling will immediately increase Paul’s unsupervised contact with her son while the court monitors safety and co‑parenting behavior.
