Overview
- The July 8 custody hearing gave Taylor Frankie Paul more unsupervised weekend parenting time by extending her weekend through Monday morning, while Dakota Mortensen also received longer weekend visits.
- The judge banned Ever from being transported on a motorcycle after a photo presented in court showed the toddler on Mortensen’s bike and the court cited basic child‑safety concerns.
- The court imposed a discovery protective order to shield sensitive filings, required third‑party exchanges so parents do not meet directly, and barred both parties from posting disparaging comments about each other online.
- Mortensen submitted dozens of private texts and a resurfaced video as exhibits that allege troubling admissions and behavior by Paul, and the case remains active with ordered drug and alcohol testing plus a follow‑up parent‑time review on August 10.
- The current orders build on a March protective‑order and temporary‑custody shift after an alleged domestic incident, a prior guilty‑in‑abeyance plea from 2023, and ongoing DA and child‑welfare reviews that could affect future parenting rights.
