Paul denied the allegations of child abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Mortensen was later granted temporary custody of Ever, while Paul filed for a protective order against Mortensen and claimed that he assaulted her in his truck. The order was granted and a judge ruled that the exes have to stay at least 100 feet away from each other.
