How Utah Child Custody Attorney Can Help ?

• Providing you and your spouse are on reasonably
  good terms, and are willing to comply with the
  conditions associated with the procedure, you may
  find that an informal trial is a good way to come
  to the necessary agreements, without all of the
  stress and turmoil involved in traditional child
  custody cases. The main purpose of an informal
  trial in Utah is to allow the parents and the
  judge to give consideration to matters such as
  child custody, child support and visitation,
  without reducing them to simply another aspect of
  your divorce case, to be discussed alongside
  various other equally emotive issues.

What happens after child abuse allegations are
made?

• Obviously, Utah courts take child abuse
  allegations as they can be a huge game-changer
  when determining child custody and child support
  in a divorce. That is why courts have a few
  options when one of the parents accuses the other
  one of abusing the child.
• Set up a hearing and hear testimonies from the
  two parents, their lawyers, and witnesses. These
  hearings can significantly delay the courts
  final decision, as it could take judges months or
  even years to ensure that the allegations are not
  baseless and/or if the abuse is serious.
• Order an investigation from a child protection
  services agency. The court would then wait for
  the agencys report to proceed with the divorce.

• Order a child custody investigation, which is a
  more common way to investigate child abuse
  allegations in Utah family courts, especially
  when those allegations are not serious. A court
  employee or child custody evaluator appointed to
  handle the case would interview the parents,
  witnesses, look for evidence, and, in some cases,
  talk to the child.
• Parental rights can be suspended when child abuse
  allegations are made, therefore, if you are the
  accused parent, you must contact a Salt Lake city
  family law attorney immediately. Your attorney
  can gather all available evidence, including your
  lack of criminal record or background of
  committing abuse.

Establishing Paternity is Vital

• If a child is born to an unmarried couple, a
  father can be legally named as the father of the
  child only after establishing paternity. Best
  child custody attorneys in Salt Lake City explain
  that in married parents, paternity is established
  automatically.
• The mother of the child born to a man outside of
  marriage will not be able to request a child
  support order until paternity has been legally
  established.
• If paternity of the child is not disputed or
  questioned, the father can gain rights to his
  child by signing a Voluntary Declaration of
  Paternity in Salt Lake City or elsewhere in Utah.
  This form is usually offered to the father after
  the baby is born in the hospital. This is a
  voluntary way of establishing paternity in Utah
  and does not require the man to take a paternity
  test.

How does remarriage affect child support?

• Every child deserves the same standard of living
  as their parents. This shouldnt be debatable.
  Under Utahs child support laws and in
  particular, its Use of ordered child support
  provisions you can petition the court asking to
  change the amount of your existing child support
  order.
• There are many factors that justify altering the
  amount of child support payments under the
  change in circumstances provision, but in your
  particular case, you would have to cite material
  changes in the relative wealth or assets of the
  parties as the substantial change in
  circumstances to modify child support. Contact a
  Salt Lake City child support attorney to get a
  free consultation about your particular case. Let
  our attorneys answer your questions about
