Taylor Frankie Paul's ex-husband seeks restraining order, asks for sole custody of kids

Key Points:

• Tate Paul, ex-husband of Taylor Frankie Paul, has petitioned a Utah court for a temporary restraining order against Taylor and is seeking sole custody of their children, Indy (8) and Ocean (6), according to sealed court documents obtained by TMZ.
• The restraining order request reportedly stems from allegations that Dakota Mortensen, Taylor's other ex and father of her youngest child, has been spreading lies to Tate, with concerns about the children being used in the ongoing disputes.
• Taylor Paul has voluntarily checked into a facility for treatment on her doctor's recommendation and is committed to recovery, with sources indicating that her inner circle is focused on her well-being and protecting the children.
• The custody and protective order conflicts involve Taylor, Mortensen, and Tate, with Mortensen having sole custody of their toddler Ever following allegations of domestic violence; dual protective orders require Taylor and Mortensen to maintain distance and work on co-parenting.
• Amid these personal and legal struggles, ABC canceled Taylor's unreleased season of "The Bachelorette," and Tate has since moved on, welcoming a child with his current wife.
