Taylor Frankie Paul Agrees to Alcohol Test Amid Utah Custody Dispute

Reality‑star Taylor Frankie Paul, 32, is involved in a contested custody case in Utah. A judge has allowed her supervised visits with her children while she undergoes a 15‑panel hair or nail test and a Peth alcohol test. If the results are negative, she could regain unsupervised access; a positive result would keep her visits monitored.

Paul also entered a rehab facility at her doctor’s recommendation, describing the stay as a voluntary “reset” for her mental health rather than treatment for substance abuse. She said the rehab was later “weaponized” against her and is seeking a protective order against ex‑boyfriend and former co‑star Dakota Mortensen. A hearing on the protective order is scheduled in Salt Lake City.

Both court filings and Paul’s Instagram statements indicate she is striving to restore full parental rights while addressing her mental‑health needs amid ongoing legal battles.
