Reality Star Taylor Frankie Paul Files Restraining Order Against Ex-Boyfriend
Taylor Frankie Paul, the star of the reality television series Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has officially filed a restraining order against her former boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. This legal action was taken just moments before a scheduled virtual court hearing, adding a dramatic twist to an already contentious situation.
Mutual Accusations and Legal Proceedings
In a surprising turn of events, Dakota Mortensen was also seeking a protective order against Paul at the same time. Both of these restraining orders are directly linked to a domestic incident that occurred in late February. During that incident, both Paul and Mortensen accused each other of domestic violence, which has since prompted an ongoing police investigation into the matter.
Impact on Custody and Production
The virtual court hearing was primarily convened to determine parental custody arrangements for their two-year-old son, Ever True. Currently, Mortensen holds temporary custody of the child. The domestic incident has not only complicated these custody proceedings but has also led to a pause in the production of Paul's reality show, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, causing significant disruptions to her professional life.
Background and Legal History
This recent legal battle follows a prior dispute in 2023, where Taylor Frankie Paul pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated assault. As a result, she is currently on probation, which adds another layer of complexity to the current allegations and restraining orders. The situation underscores the ongoing tensions between the former couple and highlights the serious nature of the domestic violence accusations from both sides.
