Utah Custody Battle: Paul vs. Mortensen

0:00On April 7, Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex Dakota Mortensen just faced off in a virtual Utah court hearing over custody of their two-year-old son, Ever. Commissioner Russell Minus presided as they hashed out Parent Time amid three alleged domestic violence incidents under investigation. This sets the stage into their bigger April 30th showdown on restraining orders, with Paul filing one right before. Mortensen's lawyer pushed hard for supervised visits for Paul at a neutral facility, calling a key for safety in this messy domestic case. She painted Paul as out of control and reckless around both Mortensen and Little Ever. Paul sighed fired back, demanding a return to the status quo from August 2025, about 70% time with her and 30%. With him, they argued the court should zero in on fresh drama, not old stuff, and slam Mortensen's credibility. Her attorney even accused him of lingering on her doorstep after drop-offs, peaking through windows and trying to stir things up again.
