Changes to Family Law Actions

Summary

The bill changes Utah law so courts can order one party to pay the other’s attorney, court and expert witness fees in divorce, child‑support, alimony, custody and related actions. It also adds clear definitions for terms such as “cohab” and “fault” and gives courts new authority to modify or end custody or parent‑time orders when a parent lives with someone who is a registered sex offender or similar offender. The changes are meant to make legal costs more predictable and to protect children in high‑risk situations.
