Overview
- Utah’s Third District Court granted mutual protective orders requiring the pair to stay 100 feet apart for three years on Thursday, and violations can trigger arrests and charges.
- Dakota Mortensen keeps temporary custody of their 2-year-old son, while Taylor Frankie Paul remains limited to up to eight hours of supervised visitation each week.
- Commissioner Russell Minas will issue written recommendations on parenting time by May 11 with input from the child’s court‑appointed lawyer, followed by a review hearing on June 1.
- Prosecutors declined in April to file new charges tied to recent disputes, and Paul remains on a 2023 plea in abeyance that can be reduced to a misdemeanor if she completes probation in August.
- A leaked 2023 video of Paul attacking Mortensen led ABC to shelve her already-filmed Bachelorette season and pushed Hulu to pause, then resume, production of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
