Taylor Frankie Paul’s restraining order denied as she battles rehab and custody issues

Reality‑TV personality Taylor Frankie Paul faced a court hearing in Utah after her ex‑husband Tate Paul filed a temporary restraining order and a petition to modify their divorce and custody agreements. The court denied the restraining order, and Paul posted on Instagram describing her distress over the legal fight and the impact on her children.

Paul also disclosed that she had recently completed a voluntary rehab stay for mental‑health support, a program she entered on her doctors’ recommendation. The posts referenced ongoing custody disputes with both Tate Paul and another ex, Dakota Mortensen, with whom she previously obtained mutual protective orders. She blamed the legal actions for repeated police and child‑protective‑services interventions and expressed frustration at being portrayed as a victim of “abuse by proxy.”
