Cops Called Again: Dakota Mortensen Reports Taylor Frankie Paul Over Custody Concerns

The custody battle between Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex Dakota Mortensen just landed police back on her doorstep—and this time, it’s about paperwork, not passion. On Friday, Bluffdale Police fielded a call from Dakota regarding concerns about their protective order and custody drop-off logistics for their son, Ever. Officers then contacted Taylor to make sure both parties understood the terms. Case closed? Not exactly—the district attorney’s office now has the matter in hand.

What makes this noteworthy isn’t the police visit itself, but Taylor’s reaction. She took to Instagram Stories to vent about being called on multiple times in a single week by“ONE person, the same person”—calling the pattern“obsessive.”According to a source with knowledge of the situation, there’s been no new altercation between them since dual restraining orders were issued back in April. They haven’t even seen or spoken to each other since then. So this is essentially a custody logistics dispute channeled through law enforcement.

The timing is complicated. Taylor Frankie Paul, known from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, is gearing up for her season of The Bachelorette, expected to air next month on ABC. She’s been working to rehabilitate her image after multiple altercations with Dakota earlier this year, including a widely circulated video. A custody hearing is scheduled for next week, and all eyes will be on how these protective orders and communication protocols hold up under court scrutiny. What started as a relationship dispute has turned into a legal chess match being played through custody arrangements and police reports.
