Title: Remarrying & Child Support in Salt Lake City Utah

Remarrying Child Support in Salt Lake City Utah
2
  • With the above-average percentage of people being
    married in Utah, chances are some may want to try
    a second time. People with minor children who are
    remarrying often have many questions about how
    their new union will affect their children
    receiving support from their ex-spouses.
  • There are child support guidelines established by
    the court that will help determine a solid child
    support award. With the help of a Salt Lake city
    divorce attorney, your children will be able to
    receive all the compensation they are entitled to
    receive.

WHAT DETERMINES CHILD SUPPORT?
  • There are several sources taken into
    consideration when determining child support.
    Some sources will include
  • Any wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses or
    self-employment income you may have.
  • Investments and pensions.
  • Some things such as rents, interest accrued,
    royalties, dividends, and capital gains.
  • Alimony from other marriages.
  • Social Security benefits, unemployment or
    workers compensation and disability income
    insurance

REMARRYING CAN MODIFY CHILD SUPPORT
  • There are many aspects of remarriage that may
    influence how is child support calculated in Utah
  • A NEW CHILD Some time ago a new child wouldnt
    make a difference when calculating a child
    support payments. Things have changed quite a
    bit. Now, your primary responsibility is not
    only children from previous relationships. Utah
    and many other states recognize the need for
    parents to support all of their children.
  • YOUR NEW SPOUSES INCOME If only natural or
    adoptive parents are the ones to provide child
    support, why is the new spouses income
    considered? Think about it. Your new spouses
    income will determine your ability to pay child
    support. For example, expenses such as groceries,
    utilities, and rent are now your new spouses
    responsibility as well, therefore, you will have
    less of a financial burden when it comes to
    supporting children from your previous
    relationships.

WILL STEPPARENTS COME IN THE PICTURE?
  • Your new husband or wife is not responsible for
    child support. Parents are the only ones
    financially responsible for their children. The
    court determines child support based on the
    income of both parents. If you marry a wealthy
    person, he or she is not obligated to provide for
    your children from previous marriages. The court
    will never force a step-parent to provide for
    children who are not their own.
