Utah Family Law Questions

Does Utah favor mothers in custody cases?

Utah’s custody decision is based on the child’s best interests, not a preference based solely on the biological sex of a parent. The evidence concerning each parent’s relationship with the child, caregiving, safety, judgment, and ability to meet the child’s needs is more important than labels.
