Taylor Frankie Paul's Exes Team Up in Renewed Custody Battle
Taylor Frankie Paul is once again at the center of a major scandal. Her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen has hired the same legal team as her ex-husband Tate Paul to renew the fight for custody of her children. Insiders say this move could seriously complicate the reality star's situation.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Dakota is now represented by attorneys Steven Russell and Chad Shattuck, who previously defended Tate's interests. Mortensen had earlier worked with a different lawyer, Joel Kittrell. The change of counsel suggests coordination between Taylor's two former partners.
As previously reported, a judge denied Tate Paul's request for a temporary restraining order. However, he now plans to reapply, presenting new evidence including allegedly incriminating text messages. Meanwhile, Dakota has accused Taylor of violating mutual restraining orders, calling the police after her social media post.
Sources close to Taylor Frankie Paul claim Dakota Mortensen is behind the attacks. They say the renewed legal onslaught was triggered by news that Taylor's season of 'The Bachelorette' might air this month, prompting her exes to act.
Bluffdale Police in Utah contacted Taylor after Dakota expressed concerns about the protective order regarding their son Ever's custody exchanges. The matter is now with the district attorney's office.
The custody battle continues to escalate, and fans are watching closely. If the court rules against Taylor, it could dramatically change the upbringing of her three children.
