Court grants Taylor Frankie Paul more parenting time with son

A Utah court has granted influencer Taylor Frankie Paul increased parenting time with her 2-year-old son, Ever. During a virtual hearing, Commissioner Russell Minas recommended lifting supervision for Paul's visits and awarding her more time with the toddler. This includes one consistent weekday visit and alternating weekends with the child's father, Dakota Mortensen, who will retain custodial rights for holidays.

I’m encouraged and I think we’re moving in the right direction.

Commissioner Minas expressed encouragement, stating, "I’m encouraged and I think we’re moving in the right direction." He also advised both parties to follow recommendations from the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and select a private guardian ad litem for future proceedings. Mutual protective orders, requiring Paul and Mortensen to remain 100 feet apart, were also upheld. Additionally, a stipulation was recommended to prevent the public couple from making disparaging remarks about one another.

You guys have to figure out a lot here. You have to figure out how to function as co-parents.

The hearing follows a series of legal actions stemming from the pair's tumultuous relationship, which has involved mutual allegations of domestic violence. Previously, Paul's parenting time was increased to 12 hours per week from eight. Commissioner Minas had previously described their relationship as "very toxic" and "beyond the pale," urging them to learn to function as co-parents.
