TMZ • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Utah's Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) has filed a petition seeking juvenile court intervention to declare Taylor Frankie Paul's three children as "abused, neglected or dependent" and to order protective supervision.
- The petition requests the court to take jurisdiction over the children, appoint a guardian ad litem, and issue any necessary orders in their best interests, citing the family's prior history with DCFS and ongoing custody disputes.
- The filing follows previous reports of Taylor's ex-husband Tate Paul and ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen separately seeking protective orders against her at a Utah courthouse.
- Taylor's legal representatives stated that the custody matters are transitioning to juvenile court due to their complexity, and Taylor welcomes the added structure and oversight to support her progress toward normalized custody and personal well-being.
- Taylor remains committed to cooperating with DCFS and continuing efforts to achieve the healthiest outcome for her family.
