Taylor Frankie Paul's Exes Use Same Lawyers in New Custody Dispute
Taylor Frankie Paul's former partners have retained the same legal team as she faces renewed custody proceedings over her three children, while a judge previously denied a temporary restraining order request.
Taylor Frankie Paul is facing a renewed custody battle involving her former partners, who have now hired the same attorneys. Dakota Mortensen retained lawyers Steven Russell and Chad Shattuck, who have represented her ex-husband Tate Paul in the case.
Court documents show that Tate Paul previously sought a temporary restraining order, which a judge denied, and he is now requesting the court to reconsider the request with additional evidence, including alleged text messages.
Earlier, Mortensen had called police alleging that Paul violated mutual restraining orders and later made further accusations after she posted on social media.
According to sources close to Paul, the intensified legal actions coincided with reports that her season of "The Bachelorette" may air soon.
Bluffdale police in Utah reported that Mortensen contacted them regarding the protective order and custody arrangements for their son, Ever. Officers have coordinated with Paul, and the matter is now under review by the district attorney's office.
