Utah Family Law: What Pleasant Grove Clients Should Know

Utah is an equitable distribution state. When a marriage ends, courts divide marital property and debts fairly based on the circumstances of the marriage, not necessarily in equal halves. Property and debts acquired during the marriage are generally treated as marital. Assets one spouse brought into the marriage, or received as a gift or inheritance, may be considered separate, though that line can be contested when assets have been commingled over time.

How Utah Courts Determine Child Custody

When children are involved, Utah courts make custody decisions based on the best interest of the child. Custody divides into two categories: legal custody, which is the right to make major decisions about a child’s education, health care, and upbringing, and physical custody, which determines where the child primarily lives.

To establish joint physical custody in Utah, a parent generally needs at least 111 overnights per year. Child support is then calculated under Utah’s guidelines using each parent’s income and the number of overnights. Parents who fall below that threshold may be subject to the sole-custody support calculation.

Alimony in Utah

There is no fixed alimony formula in Utah. Courts weigh the recipient spouse’s need against the paying spouse’s ability to pay and may also consider each party’s fault in the breakdown of the marriage. A court may award alimony for up to the length of the marriage, though the amount and duration depend on the facts of each case.
