Legal Question in Family Law in Utah
Extended visitation and payment during
I am getting visitation from the end of June to the middle of August. I have been briefed by an attorney, once the kids have stayed over 30 consecutive days, the child support payment is reduced by half for one month. Can you assist in finding information on this for the state of Utah? An actual reference would be great. My ex spouse insist I pay the full and that there is no such law. Thank you.
