Court documents obtained by the Daily Mail reveal that Minas granted both Paul and Mortensen's requests for protective orders against each other after the hearing.

The latest development in their case comes after ABC opted not to air Paul's season of  after disturbing video of Paul throwing metal chairs at Mortensen during a past confrontation resurfaced.

The joint appearance by the warring exes marks the first time they have been pictured together since they were engulfed in dueling  accusations.

'I’m finding that there's been violence both ways between these parties,' he said in court.

The judge added that Paul and Mortensen had to 'figure out' their issues for the sake of their young son.

'I'm hoping you're not just people who thrive on the drama and the conflict,' he said, according to People. 'You guys have to figure out a lot here. You have to figure out how to function as coparents. This is dysfunctional.'
