  1. Can Children Decide Who They Live With?

  2. Child Custody in Utah Sharing custody is hard for parents but being shared can be even more difficult for kids. Children of separated or divorced parents often walk away feeling like they have no say in where they live and who they live with. In Utah, the preference of the child is taken into consideration in cases where it is left up to a judge to decide on custody—but only once they reach a certain level of maturity.

  3. Factors Affecting Child Custody in Utah When parents cannot come to an amicable decision regarding child custody, it is up to the courts in Utah to decide for them. When making this decision, judges take into consideration several different factors.

  4. Among them are ★ The relationship that the child has with each parent. ★ The moral standards and previous conduct of each parent. ★ The likelihood that each parent will act in the child’s best interest. ★ Any history of domestic violence among other parent. ★ The physical distance between the two homes of the parents.

  5. Child's Preference in Utah Custody Cases The state of Utah does not specify a particular age when a child’s preference for custody can be taken into consideration. In determining if the child is old enough to speak for him or herself, judges mainly look at the child’s maturity and age. In most courts, more heft is given to children who are 14 years of age are older.
