Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

Re: My children

Talk to Utah Legal Services for free of low cost legal assistance. You should request a legal opinion on whether to allow the children to go with their father - if he was responsible for child abuse I would make him get a court order first. Tell him that until a court clears him of child abuse that you can be held responsible for aiding and abeting child abuse and failure to protect the children if you allow them to go with him. Father should be paying child support and possibly alimony. He should not get the children as tax deductions unless he is paying and is current on child support, and then only half of the children or as many as would not benefit you. However, if you have no money you can claim child income credits if you retain them as your dependents. Basically, don't transfer them.
