You can look for help in a family law attorney to help with child support and getting custody. Utah state has established guidelines about calculation of child support and fulfilling other obligations related to visitation and even alimony charges that accommodate the child support. Based on the parents’ combined income a base amount is set-up for support obligation. A certain percentage of the amount agreed upon is paid by each parent (depending on their capability). The noncustodial parent pays his/her child support amount to the custodial parent, which is usually the higher percentage. The Utah Child Support Act specifies how the percentage is calculated. But the practical support child support amount can vary from family to family. The court order will establish how and when the noncustodial parent will make their payments. These payments can be made directly to the custodial parent or through the Utah Office of Recovery Services. The attorney can help you fix a way that is most convenient to the parents. Child support must continue till the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever is later. If the child gets married or joins the military then the child support need not continue. The attorney will help determine how and when to start child support.
