are the courts fair in utah for father's? my wife filed for sole custody. she only wants to give me 5hrs a week and everyother weekend. any experiences from anybody? does anybody have any tips? thanks
There are two types of custody legal and physical custody. To retain joint physical custody in Utah you have the have the children 1/3 of the year. The minimum guidelines (see utah code section 30-3-35 or 30-3-35.5 are for when parents cannot agree and they state 1 evening a week and every other weekend plus determing holidays. The determination of joint vs sole physical custody determines what worksheet is used for childsupport. Ask for what you think is in the best interest of your children and your ability to maintain a relationship with them, this will depend on thier ages, the distance you live from your former spouse. Whatever you do, do not give up joint legal custody. Also consider adding in provisions for virtual parent-time. This consider provisions for calling your kids and if possible have webcam access to talk to your kids.
I am a father also and my wife decided to leave and take the kids. I can't imagine life without them and now she is using the kids to punish me. I really want joint physical custody. Anyone with experience with this in Utah?
