A brief overview of child support in Utah

So long as paternity is established, Utah courts will order child support even if the parties were never legally married. Utah law obligates parents to support their children, even in the absence of marriage.
Like many other states, Utah has established statutory guidelines that determine the amount of child support payments that should be ordered by the court. These guidelines are based upon the available income of the parties, the needs of the child or children and the proportionate amount of time that each spouse has custody of the child or children. Needs include, but are not necessarily limited to, regular monthly expenses for child care, medical and dental costs, food, clothing, shelter and insurance.
Utah courts require that parents share work related child care expenses and purchase medical insurance for the minor children, if none is available through the parents’ employment, provided that such insurance is can be acquired at a reasonable cost.
Generally Utah courts closely follow the statutory support guidelines but extenuating circumstances may result in the court increasing or decreasing child support payments over or under those guidelines. Parents can agree on support that differs from the statutory guidelines but such agreements are not enforceable unless the parties obtain court approval of such deviating arrangement.
Non custodial parents sometimes believe that child support payments are tied to visitation; that if the custodial parent denies the non custodial parent visitation child support does not have to be paid. Nothing is further from the truth. The courts look at the best interests of the child not the waring parents and the best interests of the child are to be supported by both parents. Parents who are denied visitation can go back to court on a motion to compel or contempt proceeding to enforce their visitation rights.
Utah law requires that the income of both parents be taken into consideration to determine the amount of support paid by the non custodial parent. Regular income from employment is the most common type of income upon which support calculations are based, however, certain other forms of income such as Social Security Income, Pension Income, Workers Compensation and Disability Benefits will also be counted. Conversely, Social Security Disability (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are not factored into child support calculations.
Child support is always modifiable upon petition from either the custodial or non custodial parent. Modifications of child support must be based on a significant change of circumstance of either parent or the child (or children) that occurred after the entry of the Decree of Divorce.
Child support is payable until the minor child reaches the age of majority—18—and has completed high school, but can be extended to 21 years of age in exceptional circumstances.
