Yes. Minors can still be named the father of a child and may be ordered to pay child support. The law bases child support amounts on the parents’ incomes but even without income, a teen could be ordered to pay a monthly child support amount. Child Support Guideline worksheets are available at all Office of Recovery Services offices and all Utah Court Clerk offices.
