'Mormon Wives' star Taylor Frankie Paul can't have unsupervised visits with toddler son, court rules

A Utah court commissioner says Taylor Frankie Paul, star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” can't have unsupervised time with her 2-year-old son. Third District Court Commissioner Russell Minas said during a hearing Tuesday that his concerns about Paul's volatility arose from interactions she had with the boy's father, Dakota Mortensen. The court addressed a protective order sought by Mortensen, with Paul filing her own. Minas delayed ruling on the orders until April 30. The hearing focused on child custody, with both sides discussing heated interactions caught on video. A court-appointed lawyer for the child said he had concerns about Paul's volatility and tendency to fight with Mortensen in his presence.
