Taylor Frankie Paul's Parenting Time Reportedly Cut to 8 Hours a Week After Failed Drug Tests

Taylor Frankie Paul is facing one of the biggest blows of her public life. According to TMZ, her parenting time has reportedly been reduced to eight hours a week after multiple failed court-ordered drug tests within the last 60 days. The schedule breaks down to four hours with Indy, 8, and Ocean, 6, shared with ex-husband Tate Paul, and four hours with son Ever, 2, shared with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. At least one of the alleged substances reportedly isn’t commonly available as a prescription medication.

The case has also sparked a fight over the media coverage itself. A source told Page Six that a strict gag order is in place, describing the continuing leaks as harassment and intimidation against Taylor, 32. She addressed the situation directly in a post, writing,“So now I’m suddenly capable of parenting 40% of the time? Couldn’t be more obvious what this is really about, and it isn’t the safety or well-being of our children.”

The fallout is already hitting her career. Season 5 production has been halted, her Bachelorette season was canceled back in March, and co-star Mikayla Matthews reportedly left the show over Taylor’s return, saying the only reason she’s leaving is because she was told a certain person was coming back. Both custody battles are still active in Salt Lake City courts. Where do you land on this one: is the court doing right by the kids, or is something else going on?
