Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen face-off in court over protective order

Both Taylor Frankie Paul and ex Dakota Mortensen appeared remotely for the hearing, with their legal teams present at the Salt Lake City courthouse. Neither Paul nor Mortensen were physically present in the courtroom. During the opening proceedings, the judge referenced a 2023 domestic violence incident between the pair, asking, ‘So let me ask this too, is [Mortensen] alleging that [Paul] ever did anything that was aimed at the children directly or was it incidental?’
