A Utah judge has granted mutual protective orders to “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul and ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. The former couple appeared in a Salt Lake City courtroom Thursday to discuss the protective orders that resulted from domestic violence charges and allegations, according to the Salt Lake City Tribune. The custody of their 2-year-old son was also under scrutiny.

Paul and Mortensen will need to stay 100 feet away from each other, commissioner Russell Minas ruled. Though they aren’t criminal protective orders, arrests can still be made if any incidents occur. “This is a very toxic relationship,” the commissioner said. “If I don’t order both of them to stay away from each other, there will be additional problems.”
