Order Lifted, Taylor Frankie Paul Allowed Unsupervised Visits with Young Son
- On Monday, June 1, 2026, a Salt Lake City judge lifted the supervised visitation order for Taylor Frankie Paul, granting her overnight visits with her 2-year-old son, Ever, on alternating weekends and one midweek day.
- This ruling follows a "dysfunctional" custody battle between Paul and ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, rooted in mutual protective orders and domestic violence allegations spanning 2022 and 2023.
- Previously restricted to eight hours of weekly supervised time, Paul will now follow Utah's standard parent-time provisions; 3rd District Court Commissioner Russell Minas stated the parties are "moving in the right direction."
- Despite this expansion, Mortensen remains the custodial parent for holidays, and both parties must stay 100 feet apart while avoiding disparaging remarks about each other online.
- The court has scheduled another custody hearing for July 8 to review their ongoing arrangement, while protective orders against each other remain in effect for three years.
