Overview
- The former couple received three-year orders requiring them to stay 100 feet apart after Thursday's hearing, where the commissioner said there had been violence both ways.
- Parenting time stays unchanged for now, with Mortensen retaining temporary custody and Paul limited to up to eight supervised hours a week as the court awaits child-welfare and mental-health assessments before a written recommendation by May 11 and a June 1 review.
- Police in Draper and West Jordan opened domestic-violence cases in February, and prosecutors in April declined new charges against Paul, citing statutes of limitations and a lack of evidence that could prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
- A 2023 video showed Paul striking Mortensen while a child was present, and she later entered a plea in abeyance to aggravated assault that can be reduced to a misdemeanor if she completes probation through August.
- ABC shelved her already filmed Bachelorette season and Hulu paused then resumed Mormon Wives without the pair after the leak, which a co-star alleges Mortensen planned to send to TMZ, a claim he denies.
