Child support is required in all Utah cases involving minor children, whether or not parents are married, divorced, or unmarried but in a long-term relationship. It is a common misconception that if a couple is not married, one parent is not entitled to child support. There are laws and guidelines for child support in cases where a court order for a paternity test is needed to determine each parent's rights.
Child Support Guidelines and Calculations in Utah
In the state of Utah, child support is based on strict guidelines dictated by the state laws and statutes. Child support payments are typically calculated from a table that is based on each parent's income and the custody arrangement. Certain situations, such as self-employment or intentional misrepresentations, may make defining each parent's monthly income a complex task requiring aggressive action. In addition to child support based on income, parents must also share costs for the following types of expenses:
- Medical
- Health care
- Child care
- Schooling
