Proof Of Income Letter

Utah's statute of limitations for child support arrears is the age of majority of the last child on the order, plus 4 years. (Unless a sum-certain judgment has been taken.)

The court will consider the child's wishes to the extent that the child is sufficiently mature to express reasoned and independent preferences as to the parenting time schedule. Usually the court will not consider child's preference unless the child is at least 14 years old.

Child support is calculated using the gross monthly income of both parents and the number of overnights the child spends in each household.

Best Interests of the Child Factors in UtahUtah family courts must consider several factors when deciding child custody in Utah, including: the child's physical and emotional needs. the child's relationship with each parent. the distance between the parents' residences.

In Utah, child support payments must be used for things related to the living expenses of the child. This includes both basic necessities, like food, shelter, clothing, and medical expenses, as well as general living expenses such as daycare, travel and transportation, and school-related costs.

Utah law requires the child support obligation to follow the child. This means we will enforce the obligation against the parent who does not have physical custody of the child. If neither parent has physical custody of a child who is living with a relative, we will enforce the obligations of both parents.

In determining a parent's income for child support purposes, courts typically look at the parent's gross income from all sources. They then subtract certain obligatory deductions, like income taxes, Social Security, health care, and mandatory union dues.
