Family Court Amendments

Summary

The bill updates Utah family law by setting when a court can order one party to pay the other’s costs, attorney and witness fees, and by allowing evidence of coercive control in child‑custody decisions. It also creates a process for ordering mental‑health treatment during custody disputes and adds new definitions and a child‑custody evaluation framework. The changes are intended to make family‑court proceedings fairer and better protect children and vulnerable adults.
