According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Mortensen filed for a protective order in Utah on Tuesday, Mar. 17. In his filing, he detailed incidents that he claims occurred on Feb. 23 and 24 of 2026.
In the filing, he calls the situation "chaotic" and "frightening." Mortensen also claims their son woke up due to the commotion, which he says included Paul yelling and screaming.
He then put his son to sleep and laid down with him, until Paul allegedly pulled the blankets off them and exhibited "aggressive behavior." Mortensen then says he left the home with Ever for their safety.
Mortensen and Paul were together again at her home the next night, and Mortensen alleges Taylor threw his phone into the wall and "physically blocked [him] from exiting."
"I was unable to safely leave while this was happening, and my child had been left inside the home during the chaos under her watch due to our custody agreement," Mortensen says in the filing.
Mortensen says he left the home, which led Paul to text him saying she had a bloody nose and needed medical attention. He says he believes the text "was an attempt to get me to return and prevent me from calling the police."
In his petition, Mortensen also brings up Paul's past arrest. In 2023, Paul was arrested for alleged domestic violence following an argument with Mortensen. She was given misdemeanor charges of assault, criminal mischief, and commission of domestic violence in the presence of a child, after she was accused of throwing a chair at Mortensen that hit her daughter.
The petition requested temporary custody of Ever and that Paul not drink or use drugs while parenting.
Paul's season of The Bachelorette was also canceled on Mar. 19 after a video of the 2023 domestic violence incident with Mortensen was released online.
