Child Support

Child Support Worksheets and Income Tables


New child support orders entered after January 1, 2008 must be calculated using the child support table located in Utah Code Section 78B-12-301. The 78B-12-301 table should also be used to modify any child support order entered for the first time after January 1, 2008.

If you have a child suport order effective before January 1, 2008, you must use the child support tables in Utah Code Section 78B-12-301 to calculate modifications to that order.

Divorce

A divorce ends marriage and all direct legal relationships between couples, except those relationships and obligations specified in the divorce decree. These may include such things as spousal support, parenting arrangements and support of children, division of property and payment of debts. Utah divorce laws allow for no-fault divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.
