Utah Family Law Questions

Can custody be changed because of substance abuse?

Substance abuse can support restrictions or modification when the evidence shows an effect on parenting capacity, safety, or the child’s welfare. Courts may consider testing, treatment, supervision, safeguards, and the relationship between the conduct and the child’s best interests.
