How custody works in Utah
Utah courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child and follow statutory guidelines for minimum parent-time schedules.
Utah custody cases are filed in District Court. Utah's unique minimum parent-time schedules provide extremely specific default schedules — including exact pickup/dropoff times, holiday rotations, and extended summer time — that apply unless the court finds deviation is warranted. Parents must attend a mandatory divorce education course within 60 days of filing. Mediation is required in contested custody cases in most judicial districts. The court may appoint a custody evaluator to conduct a thorough investigation and make recommendations.
Cases from Salt Lake City are filed in Salt Lake County and heard in the Salt Lake County District Court, Family Division. The court that hears your case is determined by where the children have been living, not by where either parent works.

Civly is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Custody law and the rules of evidence vary from state to state, and individual judges apply them differently. For advice about your own case, speak to a family law attorney licensed in Utah. Civly launched in 2026 and is not named in many court orders yet — if your order already requires a specific platform, keep using it and ask your attorney before switching.
