Parentage Amendments

Summary

The legislation changes Utah’s parentage laws by reducing a father’s retroactive child‑support liability to one year before a suit is filed and by lengthening the statute of limitations for establishing parentage. It also sets procedures for raising parentage issues in divorce, requires court approval of settlements, and adds privacy safeguards. The changes affect biological fathers, birth mothers, children, and child‑support agencies.
