Custody/Parent-Time

Salt Lake City Family Law Attorneys Advise and Represent Clients in Custody/Parent-Time Matters

A parent's chief concern in a divorce or separation case is his or her child's security and well-being. A part of that concern is the importance of preserving healthy parent-child bonds through workable, and appropriate parent-time allotments.

If your family is facing separation through divorce or other circumstances, you are strongly encouraged to seek legal counsel from an experienced and dedicated family law attorney with a reputation for achieving beneficial outcomes on behalf of custodial and non-custodial parents. Contact us to schedule a consultation with a lawyer who handles many Utah child custody cases.  At the law offices of Richards Brandt Miller Nelson, our family law attorneys understand the pain and struggle that often goes along with a separation or divorce of parents with children.

The family law courts in Utah take into account a variety of statutory factors depending on a child's age and other circumstances, including:

  • Primary caregiver duties
  • The child's preference
  • The benefit of keeping siblings together
  • The relative strength of the child's bond with one or both of the parents
  • Existing custody arrangements under which the child is happy and well adjusted
  • Factors relating to the prospective custodians' character and willingness to function as parents, including moral character, drug abuse, financial condition, evidence of abuse, and willingness to facilitate a healthy bond with the other parent.
