Re: daycare subsidy in utah
I'm not sure if I understand your question. Under the law, the parties are required to each pay one-half of all reasonable work related out of pocket child care costs. If the father was reimbursing your daughter one-half of the total cost and she was receiving state assistance for the child care, then the father may have overpaid. Without more information, it's difficult for me to give you a good answer.
