Taylor Frankie Paul, a reality TV star from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” and the father of her 2-year-old son were ordered Thursday to stay 100 feet (30 meters) away from each other for the next three years as a Utah court commissioner continues to assess custody plans for the child. Paul has been unable to spend unsupervised time with her son since an April 7 hearing, when Third District Court Commissioner Russell Minas said Paul had a history of volatile behavior directed at her former partner, Dakota Mortensen, while kids were present. Minas on Thursday described the pair’s dynamic as “very toxic” before granting Paul and Mortensen’s dueling requests for protective orders against each other.

The Onion's plan to transform Alex Jones' Infowars platforms into parody sites are in limbo again. New legal filings by Jones led a Texas appeals court to pause a proposed deal that would give the satirical news outlet control over Infowars as it faces liquidation.

A judge had scheduled a hearing Thursday on whether to approve The Onion's takeover, but it was scuttled because of the appeals court ruling.
