The upload came two days after Paul was granted only supervised visitation with her and ex Dakota Mortensen\u2019s 2-year-old son, Ever, in their latest temporary custody arrangement.<\/p>\n

A judge ruled Tuesday that Paul, who formerly had custody of the toddler 70 percent of the time, is allowed to see the little one for up to six hours per week until the next court hearing on April 30.<\/p>\n

The judge expressed \u201cconcern\u201d over Paul\u2019s \u201cvolatility,\u201d agreeing with Mortensen\u2019s lawyers that she is \u201ccompletely out of control\u201d and \u201creckless.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s lawyer, meanwhile, claimed she posed \u201cno risk\u201d to Ever as long as the on-again, off-again couple \u201cstay[s] apart\u201d where Mortensen can\u2019t \u201cpush her buttons.\u201d<\/p>\n

An attorney on behalf of Ever, however, agreed that Paul\u2019s \u201clack of total self-control\u201d is of concern.<\/p>\n

Mortensen, 33, has had temporary custody of Ever<\/a> since March, when he filed a protective order against Paul.<\/p>\n

Paul, who also shares two children<\/a> with ex-husband Tate Paul, filed a protective order of her own Tuesday, claiming Mortensen \u201ckick[ed] her while she was on the floor,\u201d \u201cslamm[ed] her head against the dashboard<\/a> of his truck\u201d and more in various alleged incidents.<\/p>\n

Taylor and Mortensen\u2019s tumultuous romance has been on and off since 2022 and documented on \u201cSLOMW\u201d \u2014 which halted filming as the duo is being investigated for alleged domestic violence incidents<\/a> in February.<\/p>\n

The cast members have since reportedly had a change of heart<\/a> and are set to get back in front of cameras<\/a> \u201cin a matter of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Taylor\u2019s \u201cBachelorette\u201d season, which was canceled<\/a> amid the drama, we hear there\u2019s a chance ABC may still air it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taylor called the scandal \u201chell on Earth\u201d<\/a> in a vulnerable Instagram post last week, writing, \u201cThrough every panic attack I prayed for strength as I could feel my body breaking down and out from the distress of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n
