Taylor Frankie Paul's attorney is speaking out after a judge issued both her and ex Dakota Mortensen protective orders during a custody hearing on Thursday, April 30. "Today's hearing was a significant step forward as the Court entered protective orders requiring that Taylor's ex-partner stays far away from her," Taylor's attorney, Eric M. Swinyard, told Us Weekly in a statement. Swinyard went on to praise Taylor, 31, for her candor during Thursday's hearing, after she and Dakota, 33, made several accusations of domestic violence against one another.
