Overview
- A Utah judge ruled Friday that Taylor Frankie Paul completed the three-year probation tied to her 2023 plea and amended an aggravated-assault felony to a Class A misdemeanor.
- Paul pleaded guilty under a 2023 plea deal that dismissed other child-abuse charges after video from the arrest showed her throwing chairs during an altercation with then‑boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.
- The leaked footage led to a temporary loss of custody of their son Ever, and the family court has since granted Paul a regular parenting schedule while keeping the overall custody case under supervision.
- At an April hearing the judge labeled the pair’s relationship highly toxic, issued mutual protective orders requiring the parents to stay at least 100 feet apart, and urged both to shield their child from conflict.
- Paul marked her probation milestone on Instagram and faced social‑media backlash over alleged AI‑altered courthouse photos, illustrating that reputational and public‑scrutiny issues will continue to shape her post‑probation life.
