How is child custody determined in Utah?

Child custody decisions are based on the child's best interests, including factors like each parent's ability to care for the child and the child’s relationship with each parent. We help you navigate this process to create the best plan for your child.

How is child support calculated in Utah?

Child support is calculated using state guidelines that consider factors like each parent’s income, healthcare needs, and time spent with the child. We help ensure the support amount is fair and enforceable.

Do I need a lawyer for a prenuptial agreement in Utah?

While you can create a prenuptial agreement without a lawyer, having one ensures that the agreement is legally sound, fair, and enforceable. We help you draft a prenup that protects both parties’ interests.

What is the adoption process in Utah?

The adoption process in Utah includes several legal steps, such as filing a petition, completing home studies, and attending court hearings. We guide you through each step to ensure a smooth and legal adoption.

Can I modify my child custody or support order later?

If circumstances change, either parent can request a modification of the custody or support order. We help you petition the court for changes that are in the best interest of your child or your family’s situation.
