Taylor Frankie Paul's Family Support Amid Domestic Violence Allegations: The Latest Updates
Taylor Frankie Paul's family is rallying around her as she seeks a restraining order against her ex, Dakota Mortensen. Taylor's younger sister, Aspen May, has submitted a declaration in support of her case, which may be related to the judge's decision to require supervision during Dakota's parenting time. The judge expressed concerns about both parents amid ongoing domestic violence allegations. Despite this, the judge ruled that Dakota will retain custody of their two-year-old son Ever True, while Taylor is granted only eight hours of supervised parenting time per week.
Following the release of a video by Dakota showing a domestic violence incident, ABC canceled Taylor's season of The Bachelorette just days before its premiere, and Dakota was granted temporary custody of their son. In response, Taylor filed her own restraining order against Dakota, alleging that he was the violent party in their relationship. The Salt Lake County D.A. is investigating allegations that Taylor assaulted Dakota in February, raising concerns about a potential violation of her probation from a 2023 domestic violence case involving her daughter.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives can be streamed on Hulu and Disney+. The future of Taylor's involvement in the show and the airing of her season of The Bachelorette remain uncertain.
