## Resource

Taylor Frankie Paul is navigating a raw, public custody battle with ex Dakota Mortensen over their son Ever, currently under supervised visits as Mortensen holds temporary custody. Amid protective orders and a history of domestic violence, Paul reveals her home projects and renovations are coping mechanisms for the emotional toll of limited time with her child. The drama spilled into her career — filming for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives halted and her The Bachelorette appearance canceled — while she publicly advocates for mental health awareness, describing psychological torment as worse than physical harm. A crucial court date looms for June, as both parents fight for permanent custody. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
