Comments on: Utah’s Parent-time Provisions Are Changing http://longokura.com/blog/2008/04/16/utahs-parent-time-provisions-are-changing-may-5-2008/ An expansive view of family law issues in Utah Sat, 24 Dec 2011 05:30:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Rebecca Long Okura http://longokura.com/blog/2008/04/16/utahs-parent-time-provisions-are-changing-may-5-2008/comment-page-1/#comment-2298 Rebecca Long Okura Sat, 01 Jan 2011 18:54:50 +0000 http://www.longokura.com/blog/?p=15#comment-2298 We agree that the Utah Statute needs a lot more information and guidance about relocation. It is an issue that comes up more and more frequently and is hotly contested when it an issue. Because there are not clear cut statutory rules and the case law is not firm, we often end up going to trial in this cases, which is costly and could be avoided if lawyers and parties had more help from the State Legislature. Please contact your representatives and see if they will help out. We agree that the Utah Statute needs a lot more information and guidance about relocation.

Is it really in the best interest of the young child to not see their non-custodial parent except once a month? Seems they need to specify a code for children under age 5 regarding relocation. Utah is non-progressive and really doesn't take the child's best interest into account! Children need to see both Parents on a regular basis. In a State that prides itself on Family, Utah can do better than this! Well adjusted children in a divorce situation are the ones who have equal time with both Parents.

My child is only three and it sounds like the non-custodial parent can take him for two weeks, possibly three weekends without me seeing him. Is that in the best interest for the child? Can't they clairfy this better or make it a little better? I would think it would be better if the child was a little older to do this.

I have a son that just turned 18 months on September 21. My understanding of the statute is that I have 2-1 week stays with my son during the CALENDAR year of 2009,(from sep 21, 2009 until dec 31,2009) and that during 2010 I would have two additional one -week stays with him until he is 3 years of age. My ex-wife is arguing that the statute means that I would only get him for those periods from the time that he turns 18 months (sep. 21, 2009) until the follow year (sep. 21,2010). Could you clarify this for us both? What if she refuses to comply do I have to take her back to court? Thank you!!!! I cannot understand the definition under parent time code 30-3-35.5.
