Understanding Child Support in Utah

In Utah, child support obligations are generally determined according to statewide guidelines that use a formula based on both parents’ incomes and the amount of time each parent spends with the child. The goal is to ensure that the child’s financial needs, such as housing, food, healthcare, education, and other everyday expenses are met in a fair and consistent way.

Several factors may influence support calculations, including:

• Both parents’ gross incomes and earning capacities
• The number of children covered by the support order
• The amount of parenting time each parent exercises
• Health insurance, daycare costs, and other child-related expenses

Our attorneys help clients understand how Utah support guidelines will apply to their situation and advocate for outcomes that reflect the realities of their financial and family circumstances.
