Taylor Frankie Paul has filed for a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, with whom she shares a son.

The legal move comes less than an hour before a court hearing in Utah regarding Mortensen’s own order of protection against Paul, in addition to custody of their son.

Both orders are a response to a domestic incident on Feb. 22 and 23 that led Paul and Mortensen mutually to accuse each other of domestic violence. Paul’s order also cites incidents from last May and earlier in February.
