In the filing, Dakota claims that there were multiple incidents on February 23 and 24 that turned physical during arguments at Taylor‘s home.

He alleges that she choked him, hit him and prevented him from leaving during one of the encounters. He also claims their young son was present during some of the incidents.

He also claimed to call 911 during one altercation, and that Taylor “pressured and manipulated” him into saying their kid was sick to end the call, per TMZ. He added that she was allegedly threatening to harm herself.

Dakota said he is “genuinely concerned for my safety and the safety and well-being of my child.”

He requested a protective order, temporary custody, and that Taylor not drink or use drugs during her parenting time.

A hearing has been scheduled for April 7.

TMZ also reports that Dakota ran into Taylor‘s ex-husband Tate Paul at the courthouse, and they had separately shown up to obtain protective orders against Taylor.

The filing comes amid a domestic assault investigation involving both parties, with allegations coming from both sides.

It also follows the release of a leaked video showing a 2023 altercation between the two leading up to her arrest.
