Judge Limits Taylor Frankie Paul to Supervised Visits as Ex Retains Temporary Custody

The decision signals a child-safety focus during ongoing investigations.

Overview

  • A Utah judicial officer on Tuesday limited Paul’s time with 2-year-old Ever to up to eight hours of supervised visits each week, while Dakota Mortensen keeps temporary custody.
  • The court order requires Paul to stay at least 100 feet from Mortensen and bars any contact or threats, with a no‑weapons condition in place.
  • In a separate filing, Paul obtained a temporary order that tells Mortensen to stay 100 yards away and not contact her until the April 30 hearing.
  • Paul’s petition accuses Mortensen of possessive behavior, citing a photo of her initials tattooed inside his lip on Feb. 14 and mid‑February texts saying he wanted her back.
  • Police in Draper confirmed an open domestic‑assault probe with claims from both sides, West Jordan is reviewing a 2024 report, and the leaked 2023 video helped prompt ABC to cancel her Bachelorette season and pause Secret Lives of Mormon Wives production in March.
