Overview
- Bluffdale police say Dakota Mortensen called on Friday, June 26 to question whether the mutual protective order governing exchanges for their son Ever had been violated, and officers contacted Taylor Frankie Paul before referring the matter to the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s office for review.
- Tate Paul filed for a temporary restraining order and asked a Utah court to modify custody of his two children on June 30, submitting sealed exhibits that leave the precise reasons for his request unavailable to the public.
- Taylor voluntarily checked into a short, doctor‑recommended rehab stay and has since left the facility, with multiple outlets reporting the visit as part of her work with mental health professionals.
- A commissioner recently relaxed Taylor’s supervised visitation, allowing alternative weekends and one midweek daytime visit without overnight stays, and the parties are scheduled for a follow‑up custody hearing on July 8.
- The wider dispute has produced multiple police probes, a prior decision by the Salt Lake County DA not to file criminal charges, and career fallout after Disney paused distribution of a related TV project, leaving public details limited by sealed filings and ongoing legal review.
