How can I get help with child support, custody and visitation issues?
In Utah, the Office of Recovery Services’ Child Support Services and Children in Care programs pursue paternity establishment and child support collection in two situations: • When someone is receiving public assistance or if children are put in the custody of the state, ORS receives the case automatically; and • When someone applies for services because they need help obtaining or updating an order and collecting child support. By law, ORS cannot get involved with custody and visitation issues. To have these issues addressed, you must hire a private attorney or represent yourself in a court proceeding.
