2019 Utah Legislative Session – parentage, child custody factors

Welcome back to our feature on new laws from the 2019 Utah Legislative Session. There were a lot of changes in family law in 2019. The legislature amended section 78B-15-610 of the Utah Code, which applies in parentage actions (which is the new name for what used to be called paternity actions) was amended to provide that a court may follow the standards and criteria in Utah Code’s divorce statutes in determining issues related to custody or parent-time in a parentage action.
