  • Taylor Frankie Paul has filed a restraining order against her ex, Dakota Mortensen, just before a scheduled court hearing.
  • Mortensen was also seeking a protective order against Paul, with both orders stemming from a domestic incident in late February.
  • During the February incident, both Paul and Mortensen accused each other of domestic violence, leading to an ongoing police investigation.
  • A virtual court hearing was held to determine parental custody of their two-year-old son, Ever True, for whom Mortensen currently has temporary custody.
  • The domestic incident has paused production of Paul's reality show, "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," and follows a 2023 dispute where Paul pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and is on probation.
