How are monthly child support payments calculated?
Monthly child support payments are calculated by using a formula established by the Utah State Legislature. Things that are considered in determining the amount of child support payments include: each parent’s income, the child’s needs, the number of children needing support and other factors. You can get an estimate of monthly child support payments in Salt Lake City, Layton, Cedar City and elsewhere throughout the state at http://www.alllaw.com/calculators/Childsupport/Utah/. Can I change a child support order in the future? Child support may be modified to reflect changes in either parent’s income and ability to provide support and any additional needs of a child or children. Can ORS help me with child custody issues? ORS does not have authority to assist families with child custody issues. If you need help with matters related to child custody, it is a good idea to speak with an experienced Utah family law lawyer.
