Taylor Frankie Paul’s ex, Dakota Mortensen, called the cops with questions about the exes’ protective order amid their ongoing custody battle.
The Bluffdale Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly on Monday, June 29, that Mortensen, 33, called the authorities at around 10 p.m. on Friday, June 26. According to the police, Mortensen called with questions about the protective order that he and Paul, 32, have regarding 2-year-old son Ever’s visitation, specifically about who can help with the drop-off and pick-up exchange. Mortensen wanted to know if the protective order had been violated.
Officers made contact with Paul via a phone call and gathered statements from all parties involved. The case was sent to the District Attorney’s office, who will decide if a violation occurred.
The Bluffdale Police Department’s investigation will be complete unless the district attorney says a violation occurred.
Us has reached out to Paul, Mortensen and the District Attorney’s office for comment.
Following the incident, Paul took to social media to slam Mortensen for reaching out to the authorities.
“Cops called on me again THIS WEEK … What are the odds?” the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star wrote in a since-deleted Instagram Story, according to a screenshot shared via TMZ. “And it’s not people … it’s ONE person, the same person. It’s obsessive.”
Paul and Mortensen have been involved in an ongoing custody battle over Ever following multiple domestic violence incidents and allegations. Earlier this year, Mortensen alleged Paul had been physically violent with him during a February incident. According to court documents obtained by TMZ at the time, Mortensen claimed that he and Paul had an altercation at her house where she allegedly choked him and shoved him into a window. Mortensen alleged that Paul was “emotionally volatile” and he was fearful for their toddler’s safety. Paul has vehemently denied the allegations of child abuse.
Mortensen was later granted temporary custody of Ever. Paul, for her part, filed for a protective order against Mortensen, claiming that he assaulted her in his truck. The order was granted and a judge ruled that the exes have to stay at least 100 feet away from each other.
Earlier this month, a judge ruled that Paul no longer needed supervised visitation of Ever and that she can have her son on alternative weekends and one midweek day as long as the child does not spend the night. (Taylor also shares two kids with her ex-husband, Tate Paul.)
Taylor and Mortensen are scheduled to appear in court on July 8 for another custody hearing.
