10:01Now PlayingHow Temporary Restraining Orders Work. Taylor Frankie Paul, Dakota, And The Restraining Order That Could End Her Custody For Good
Taylor Frankie Paul, star of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, is facing a rapidly escalating legal situation after her ex, Dakota, released graphic video footage from a 2023 domestic violence incident for which she was previously charged and ultimately pled guilty to assault. Dakota filed for a temporary restraining order, which was granted, giving him temporary custody of their son and barring Taylor from coming within 100 feet of him.
Hawk walks through exactly how emergency restraining orders and temporary custody work in family court, including the exparte process, what a full evidentiary hearing looks like, and why Taylor's history matters enormously to a judge evaluating the safety of the children involved. A second domestic violence incident from earlier this year is reportedly under investigation, meaning Taylor Frankie Paul could face criminal charges a second time. Hawk explains why a family court judge evaluating child custody will place the children's safety above all else, and why terms like DARVO and reactive abuse, while real and valid, will carry zero weight in a custody proceeding when children have been harmed.
Dakota's own behavior, including the calculated timing of releasing the video the weekend before The Bachelorette premiere, effectively killing the entire season, is also addressed. Neither party escapes scrutiny. The legal path ahead for Taylor in the custody hearing and potential criminal charges is examined in plain terms.
