If you’re going through a divorce in Utah and worried about how it will impact your time with your kids, you’re not alone.
What are your rights as a parent? And how do Utah courts decide visitation? Let’s break it down.
In Utah, the law assumes that regular, consistent contact with both parents is in a child’s best interest. That means that, in most cases, noncustodial parents have the right to visitation.
You and your ex can create your own visitation plan, and as long as it follows Utah law and protects your child’s well-being, the court will likely approve it.
But what happens if you can’t agree? Utah requires parents to try mediation first. If that doesn’t work, the court will step in and decide based on factors like the parent-child bond, history of cooperation, and safety concerns.
And if a parent isn’t paying child support? That does NOT mean they lose their right to visitation. These are separate legal issues, and courts will enforce both orders independently.
If you’re facing a visitation dispute, the best thing you can do is get legal guidance early.
