Side as Soon as Possible
Giving your child the life they deserve will require money, and if you're no longer with their other parent, you may still need their financial help. Our attorneys are here to work as a resource for you whether you're finalizing a divorce, working out a custody agreement, or figuring out the details of child support.
The Basics
of Child Support
It's a parent's legal duty to financially support their minor children. When parents separate, the noncustodial parent pays the custodial parent child support to help cover the expenses it takes to raise a child, like healthcare costs, food, clothing, and more.
In Utah, child support continues until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever happens later. In cases where the child is disabled and dependent on their parents, the court may order child support to continue into adulthood.
Modifying Child Support
Utah law allows a parent to request a modification to an existing child support order when it has been three or more years since the order was entered or there has been a change in circumstances such as:
- A custody alteration
- The child's medical needs
- A change of 30% or more in income
Our Ogden, UT, attorneys can help you seek post-divorce modifications to current child support payments or obligations, whether it involves reducing or increasing payments.
