Establishing Legal Paternity in Utah for Child Support

Because I am a lawyer in Utah, I’m often asked about issues with child custody and child support. When it comes to child support in Utah, both parents are responsible for ensuring their child has sufficient funds. It becomes a more complicated matter if legal paternity is not established, even if the biological father is known.

Establishing Legal Paternity in Utah for Child Support

Despite being the biological father, without official paternal establishment, a man does not have the legal rights or responsibilities of being a father. These include custody, visitation and child support. In order to establish the rights of the father, there is a formal application process for legal paternity. This typically requires submitting some paperwork and might also include a DNA paternity test, depending on the support of the mother.

According to Paternity Matters, in Utah, the definition of paternity includes the legal recognition of the father. The state, the child, the mother or the biological father might initiate this process. It is typically done through submitting the Voluntary Declaration of Paternity, which is issued by the Department of Health, Office of Vital Records and Statistics. It is provided free of service at the birth of the child, but can be submitted at any time after the birth for a fee.

For this to be done, both parents must hear a message or watch a movie, read the official legal notice and then sign the document with witnesses. This establishes legal paternity, which also adds the father’s name to the child’s birth certificate. After this document is submitted, the legal father will be responsible for child support, so the mother has the right to file an order.

Paternity establishment typically occurs when a woman is unmarried, since for married women, the paternity is assumed to belong to the husband. If this is not the case, then a Utah Voluntary Declaration of Paternity or some other legal order provides the paternity rights to the biological father rather than the husband. This information is intended to educate only and should not be considered legal advice.

COLLABORATIVE LAW WELL-SUITED FOR MATURE DIVORCES

Because couples experience so many different fond memories and difficult times together, no two Utah marriages are the same. And because of that, every divorce is also unique. As it turns out, collaborative divorce may be particularly fitting for one specific demographic of couples across the country since the group is faced with several unique opportunities and challenges during the divorce process.

Since collaborative divorce incorporates several legal and financial resources into the process, relying on the valuable insight of figures like financial advisors and experienced family law attorneys to help divorcing parties come to a mutual agreement on their own, it’s an effective option for couples seeking a divorce after many years of marriage. The number of long-term married couples filing for divorce has increased considerably in recent years, and many of which do so because they feel disconnected from one another after their children leave home. As a result, these couples do not experience many of the issues that contribute to other divorces and divorce disputes.

Despite the fact that older couples in the midst of divorce proceedings may not typically come across such issues as child custody and/or support arrangements, they may encounter concerns over factors like spousal support. Alimony is often considered in cases where one party relied on the financial support of the other, but such arrangements are often temporary. Therefore, it is in the best interest of individuals to think about how their collaborative divorce may affect their financial situation.

Given that so many people are living full and productive lives well into their later years, it’s important that sound legal counsel is obtained to help ensure that those seeking divorce after decades of marriage come to a fair and reasonable agreement.

Estate Planning for Single Parents

Estate planning is important for everyone, especially if you’re a single parent. Getting your finances in order is an important first step to ensuring your children are taken care of in case the unthinkable occurs. Estate planning will give you peace of mind. As an estate planning lawyer, I promise you that the time and effort you put into your estate plan will not be wasted.

Estate Planning for Single Parents

As a parent, you might be worried about your children’s ability to manage an inheritance. You might be worried about their financial future. Proper estate planning will help assuage these fears.

Estate Planning Tips For Single Parents

Estate planning requires lots of preparation and thought before making final decisions with your attorney. Here are some tips to consider:

  • Create a list of assets and debts. Preparing this will make the estate planning process easier and more accurate.
  • Pick a child guardian and property guardian.
  • Meet with an attorney to discuss the different elements of estate planning.
  • Meet with a financial planner.
  • Make a last will.
  • If your lawyer recommends it, establish a living trust.

Estate Planning Questions to Consider

Who will take care of your kids?

This question is possibly among the hardest questions you will have to consider during the estate planning process. However difficult this decision may be, it’s a decision that needs to made. If you don’t choose a guardian for your child and pass away prior to your child becoming an adult, your kid could be placed in care of a court appointed guardian.

Who will receive your assets?

As a single parent you want to guarantee that your children will be the ones receiving your assets. This may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s something that needs to be put in writing to ensure that your money goes where you want it to go.

When and how will your children receive your assets?

Estate planning allows you to control when and how your children will receive money or valuable property.

Do you need life insurance?

Life insurance is a good, sound investment for everyone, especially single parents.

Should you consider a revocable trust?

Also referred to as a living trust, a revocable trust allows people to manage assets while they’re alive, but upon your death, the trustee you’ve named will be in charge of your assets. A good revocable trust enables people to avoid probate.

Understanding Child Custody Laws

Dealing with family issues can be difficult, and Alder Law Group understands the hardships child custody can bring, so we are here to help. Because child custody isn’t always easy on parents, we strive to serve you with compassion, discretion, and understanding.

Understanding child custody laws can make the situation easier on both the parents and children. First, child custody is the legal status given by the court for the caring and control of a child. Even if the parents of a child were never married, child custody is determined by custody sections in Utah’s divorce statutes. Most orders of custody are given to one or both of the parents of the child, and in some cases, custody is granted to another adult.

Types of Custody

There are two parts to child custody: Physical and legal custody. Physical custody relates to where the child lives, while legal custody determines which parent will have the right to make decisions regarding the child. When possible, joint legal custody is often the best option for the child’s sake.

Within these two parts to child custody lies sole and joint custody for both physical and legal. Take a look at what each entails:

  • Sole Legal and Sole Physical – If a parent is granted sole custody, the child will live with one parent and that parent will have the right to make choices concerning the child.
  • Joint Legal and Joint Physical – In this arrangement, the child can live with both parents and both parents are able to make choice regarding the child. This is most successful when both parents are willing to communicate and work well together.

In both cases of sole custody, visitation may be granted for the non-custodial parent. When joint custody is granted, the child must live in each parent’s home for 111 days of the year.

How Custody is Determined

The court grants custody to parents based off the best interest for the child. The court will grant a parent custody or visitation, also referred to as parent time, once it determines what is in the best interest for child. The best interests of a child are determined through a variety of factors, such as:

  • The parent’s’ conduct
  • The quality of the relationship between a child and parent
  • Which parent is more likely to allow visitation for the other parent

In some cases, the judge will ask the child for his or her preference, but this is not always taken into account when granting a parent custody.

There are also a number of factors that are considered when determining what type of custody will be granted to a parent. In granting joint legal or physical custody, these factors may include:

  • Which type of custody will best suit the child’s needs
  • The distance between the parents’ homes
  • The ability to cooperate between parents
  • History of child or spouse abuse
  • The parents participation in caring for the child prior to divorce

Visitation

Visitation, or parent time, is granted to the non-custodial parent. State law requires a minimum visitation time when parents cannot agree on their own schedule. Much like determining custody, the court will decide how much time with the non-custodial parent is in the child’s best interest.

Child Support Guidelines Reflect Modern Ideals

While many Utah family law guidelines are intended to account for the best interests of the child in a divorce case, many would argue that some policies have reflected and reinforced gender bias through the years. Slowly, however, the law may be catching up with contemporary principles, since there’s evidence to suggest that child support agreements established across the country increasingly have fathers receiving financial support from their exes.

Establishing child support payments is intended to account for the financial needs of children following divorce. As such, the process involves identifying the parent that was physically responsible for the kids the majority of the time during the marriage, while also recognizing the parent that provided for the household financially. Once it’s determined which party was the primary breadwinner prior to divorce, an appropriate support plan can be created. If you need help with this, you should contact us at Ascent Law, LLC.

Now that more mothers across the country are providing for their families financially as well as physically, child custody arrangements everywhere are reflecting the shift in family dynamics. In 2013, a Pew Research study found that single mothers were responsible for heading approximately 25 percent of American households. Beyond that, around 40 percent households were financially supported by mothers. That’s why more mothers than ever before are now responsible for paying child support.

Complementing statistics suggesting that mothers are taking on more financial responsibilities are figures pointing to the fact that more fathers are the primary caregivers in a family. Full or primary custody was awarded to fathers in around 16 percent of cases in 2011, and a large percentage of those cases resulted in the dads being granted child support.

Child Support Guidelines Reflect Modern Ideals

Utah Courts Attempt To Restrict Divorce Coverage

No one can dispute that reality TV has become tremendously popular in recent years. And along with the rise of reality TV has come an increased interest in high-profile news events and coverage. Some argue that courtroom programming is little more than entertainment and spectacle for viewers, while others contend that providing the public with live courtroom coverage is an important educational tool. Now, the Utah judicial system is voicing where it stands on the issue of potentially allowing cameras in family law litigation.

The Utah State Judicial Council ruled last year to not only open state courtrooms to TV cameras but also allow everything from laptops to smart phones. Now, however, that very same council is attempting to restrict the use of video cameras in family law courtrooms across the state. The Council is proposing that the change in policy is intended to protect the rights of litigants, but others argue that discouraging the use of video cameras in divorce cases is counterproductive to encouraging public access and knowledge. The measure that the judicial Council is proposing would force individuals seeking to record family law proceedings to prove to the judge why they should be allowed, whereas judges currently have to justify why court proceedings should not be recorded.

One family law attorney that is especially interested in filming court cases recommended several measures to protect the privacy of litigants, but so far only one of his requests to videotape court proceedings have been granted by the court system.

Psychological Evaluations in Utah Divorce and Custody Cases

There is a lot of fuss and fanfare about psychological evaluations in family law to determine child custody. The most common reason we hear for requesting a psychological evaluation in Utah family law cases (divorce, custody, visitation, shared parenting), is, “I think my ex is bipolar and I want custody of my children.”  Many clients want to have a psychological evaluation performed in their cases, but what happens in those evaluations is a big mystery to them.

When the purpose of the psychological evaluation is to determine which parent is more suitable to parent children (a Child Custody Evaluation), there are guidelines that an evaluator must use.  On February 21, 2009, the American Psychological Association revised their “Guidelines for Child Custody Evaluations in Divorce Proceedings”.  They are now known as the “Guidelines for Child Custody Evaluations in Family Law Proceedings“, an acknowledgment to the fact that the definition of family in America is changing, and psychological evaluations are no longer used only in divorce.

Contrary to what most parents believe, the purpose of a psychological evaluation is not to see if either parent has a mental health diagnosis.  The Psychologist’s contact with the parents is unlikely to be sufficient for the Psychologist to actually make a diagnosis.  At best, they may be able to observe characteristics which might be “consistent with” a certain diagnosis or disorder.

If the purpose of the examination is not to make a diagnosis, then what is it?  In a nutshell, the purpose is of the psychological evaluation, or child custody evaluation, is:

  1. Where possible, to answer the referral question that was set out in the Court’s order which required one or both parents, and the Child, to participate in the evaluation; and
  2. To determine the psychological best interests of the Child.  Where appropriate, the Psychologist can make a recommendation as to which parent is better equipped to meet the psychological needs of the Child.

Psychological Evaluations in Utah Divorce and Custody Cases

10 Things to Discuss with Your Attorney

Sometimes the Court will choose the evaluator, and sometimes the Court will allow the parties or attorneys to choose or have input regarding which psychologist will perform the evaluation.  In that case, here are 10 important things to discuss with your attorney:

  1. How much will the psychological evaluation cost?
  2. Who will pay for the psychological evaluation?
  3. Does this Expert generally prepare a written report?  If so, does the Expert generally prepare the report on time, or request multiple extensions of time to prepare the report?  If you don’t want your case to drag on, is this the Expert for you?
  4. When this Expert prepares a report, does he or she generally make a recommendation to the Court, or avoid making a recommendation to the Court?
  5. What does this Expert charge for his or her time in depositions, and for court time?  Is it a higher hourly rate or an expensive flat fee?  If your case goes to trial, you will probably need this Expert to come to court.  Can you afford to pay for that?
  6. Has your Attorney worked with this Psychologist before?  If so, what were your Attorney’s impression of his or her work?
  7. In your Attorney’s experience, does this Psychologist generally make a recommendation which favors mothers? Or fathers?  If your Attorney’s experience is that a particular psychologist almost always recommends one parent over the other, and that parent is not you, you should discuss your concerns with your Attorney.
  8. If need be, will the Psychologist participate in depositions and testify in court?  Believe it or not, some psychologists who will perform custody evaluations do NOT want to give a deposition or go to court in any way, shape or form.  Although they can be compelled to do so, discuss with your Attorney why you would voluntarily agree to hire an unwilling expert.
  9. Is the Expert willing to supply his or her information, notes, etc. in response to a subpoena, to the extent permissible by law? Does your Attorney know if the Expert has redacted information or notes when his or her records were subpoenaed?  If so, why?  Was there a legal basis for doing so, or was the Expert trying to hide something that should be discoverable?
  10. What is the Expert’s working relationship with the Guardian Ad Litem?  Does your Guardian Ad Litem always suggest this Expert?  If so, why? Does the Expert have discussions with the Guardian Ad Litem that he or she does not disclose to your Attorney?

What Documents Do I Need to Bring When I First Meet with My Bankruptcy Attorney?

Filing for bankruptcy isn’t always easy. One of the biggest burdens under the “new” bankruptcy law that was forced upon debtors and their attorneys in 2005 was the requirement to produce volumes and volumes of documents. In addition to the formal schedules and statement of affairs, you’ll need to get together a lot of paperwork to file bankruptcy. One nationally known attorney from Utah has said that before the law was changed, he would tell his clients that you paid your attorney to run around the courthouse. Now, under the new law, you pay your attorney, and both the debtor and the attorney get to run around the court house.

What Documents Do I Need to Bring When I First Meet with My Bankruptcy Attorney

In our experience, the presentation of the documents only serves to verify the truth of the matter, and that is that the overwhelming debt is much too onerous to deal with, and the need to file a bankruptcy is even more necessary. The frustrating part of the practice of law, in this regard, is the time-consuming task of gathering documents that state what is already obvious. Even so, submitting these “due diligence” papers is a major part of debtor bankruptcy practice today.

So, what sort of documents will you need for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, at your initial consultation with a bankruptcy attorney and beyond? Read on.

Bankruptcy Consultation Documents: What to Bring to Your First Meeting with Your Lawyer

The most important, mandatory documents to bring to your initial bankruptcy consultation are a list of your outstanding debts and a list of your assets, focusing on major assets, such as houses, cars, boats, trailers, timeshares and the like. We rarely ask for the actual bills from the creditors, as we routinely download a credit report, which captures most of the needed information.

Then, a recent pay stub is the next important item, plus a rough budget for your household’s income and expenses. These would be bare-minimum documents for an initial review.

What Documents You’ll Need If You File Chapter 7 or Chapter 13

If you and your attorney decide to go forward with your case, you likely will be provided with a detailed checklist of all the other myriad documents needed, such as loan payoffs, copies of titles, copies of tax returns, six months of pay advices, deeds of trust, proof of insurance, and on and on.

The United States Courts website has a full list of the Official Bankruptcy Forms that may be needed for filing bankruptcy, which include your Chapter 13 Plan, means test forms for Chapter 7, financial affairs and income statements, applications to waive filing fees, orders on reaffirmation agreements, orders for relief in involuntary cases, notice to creditors, financial management course certification, and more. Individual debtors will file forms that begin with the number 100, while non-individuals will file forms beginning with the number 200.

Thankfully, though, most of these documents can wait to be produced during the retainer and filing process, and need not be brought to the initial consultation. While debtors certainly are able to file for bankruptcy on their own without the help of an attorney, it’s generally not advised. Bankruptcy can be complicated, outside the dozens of forms involved, and just a simple mistake with a document or overlooking an asset can get your case tossed and your debts will not be discharged.

Contact a Bankruptcy Attorney Today for a Free Consultation

If you are thinking of filing for bankruptcy, you are not alone. Lawyers can help you decided whether or not you even need to file a bankruptcy, but if you do, they’ll let you know which chapter would be most appropriate. They can also tell you whether or not you’ll be able to keep your most treasured assets, including your house and car, and advise you about tax consequences and how to address bills during bankruptcy. They’ll also help you fill out all of the necessary forms correctly and make sure you’re not missing anything the bankruptcy court requires.

What is a Fraudulent Transfer in Bankruptcy?

A fraudulent transfer can basically be defined as transferring property out of your name to delay or defraud a creditor. If you “sell” a home worth $1 million to your Uncle Joe for just $1 dollar because a creditor is breathing down your neck, you’ve likely triggered state and federal fraudulent conveyance statutes. In Utah, the statute is 6 years from the date of transfer according to a
Bankruptcy attorney.

What is a Fraudulent Transfer in Bankruptcy

What is constructive fraud?

There are two types of fraudulent transfers. Actual fraud involves transferring property with the actual intent to defraud creditors. Constructive fraud involves a transfer that is made for grossly inadequate consideration, such as the “sale” to Uncle Joe in the example above, which supplies a presumption of fraud even absent direct proof.

The structure of constructive fraud in bankruptcy includes two parts:

  1. a lack of “reasonably equivalent value” and
  2. a sign of financial distress

Signs of financial distress are being insolvent or rendered insolvent, unreasonably small capital, and incurring debts beyond the ability to pay as they mature.

In Bankruptcy, the Trustee Can Sue to Unwind the Transfer

Once a property transfer is deemed fraudulent, either because there is proof of fraud or the sale price is too low, the trustee may attempt to recover the property, or the value of the property, and make it part of the bankruptcy estate. This is done through filing a lawsuit.

In our example with Uncle Joe, if you transferred your house to Joe for $1 and then filed bankruptcy, the trustee would serve Joe with a complaint seeking to recover the value of the home. If the conveyance is then found to be fraudulent, you’ll lose your right to claim an exemption for the property.

The trustee may recover the property from either the immediate recipient (Joe) or from anyone else to whom the property was subsequently transferred (perhaps a cousin). An exception is the bona fide purchaser rule. A bona fide purchaser is one who acted in good faith to purchase the property without notice of the outstanding rights of others to the property. The bona fide purchaser has the right to retain the property.

The Look Back Period for a Fraudulent Transfer

How long can a trustee look back in time to find a fraudulent conveyance?

Under the Bankruptcy Code, the look back period is two years; however, the trustee may use state law if the allowed look back period is longer. Many states, including Florida and Massachusetts, have adopted the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (UFTA), which allows creditors to look back four years to find a fraudulent conveyance. Some states implement an older version of UFTA called the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyances Act (UFCA).

In any case, if your state is a UFTA state, the trustee will then have a four-year period to try to unwind transfers that appear fraudulent. Note that some states will have longer look back periods. In New York, Minnesota, Michigan, and Maine, the look back period is six years. In Kentucky and Iowa, it’s five years.

The Bottom Line: Seek the Help of a Bankruptcy Attorney

Conveyance laws inside and outside of bankruptcy can be complicated. Seek the help of an experienced bankruptcy attorney before transferring property. If you’ve already transferred property that may be construed as constructive fraud, a bankruptcy lawyer can help you avoid negative consequences — namely, your bankruptcy being denied a discharge — by recovering the asset before you file for bankruptcy.

And remember, fraud — whether it is intentional or not — is not the only way to screw up your bankruptcy discharge. Destroying records, lying under oath, hiding property, and/or not being able to explain why certain property is missing from your bankruptcy estate are other big reasons a bankruptcy can fail. Be smart and be honest with the bankruptcy court. The last thing you want to do is waste your precious time and money filing a bankruptcy case that will be denied — and you certainly don’t want to go to jail for bankruptcy fraud.

Can the Bank Take my Home in Bankruptcy?

Maybe.  Call us or a Bankruptcy Attorney to talk about your specific situation before you file to be safe.

Homestead exemption laws prevent the sale of a borrower’s home by their creditors in satisfaction of a debt. In many states, whether your home may be subject to forced sale is a function of how much home equity you have.

Can the Bank Take my Home in Bankruptcy

A Homestead is Your Primary Residence

A homestead is defined as your primary residence; investment property does not fall within the definition. The purpose of homestead exemptions are rooted in public policy. Home ownership is at the cornerstone of the American way of life, which is why legislatures have made it difficult for creditors to take your home away from you in satisfaction of a debt.

In order for a creditor to force the sale of your primary residence, they must have a judgment against you and your home must have equity. Just how much equity leaves a home vulnerable is a function of state law.

Equity Below Your State’s Homestead Exemption = No Sale

If the equity in your home is below the amount your state exempts, the trustee will not sell your home.

For example, if you owe $25,000 to a credit card lender who has sued and obtained a judgment against you, that company cannot force the sale of your home as long as all of your home equity is exempt under your state’s exemption limit. If you live in state X, whose homestead exemption allows for $50,000 in equity to be protected from creditors and your home is worth $300,000 with a $280,000 mortgage balance, creditors cannot take your home. Your $20,000 of home equity falls below the $50,000 state X allows its residents to protect.

Utah is one state that has historically had an unlimited homestead exemption, which never allowed a creditor to take a home in satisfaction of a debt — regardless of the home’s value, though there is acreage limitation and a length of ownership requirement.

Other unlimited homestead exemption states, with small exceptions, include Texas, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, and Oklahoma, in addition to the District of Columbia. Some other states have fairly generous homestead exemptions, including Nevada ($550,000 equity), Minnesota ($390,000 to $975,000, if a farm), and Montana ($250,000). On the other hand, some states have no homestead exemption, like New Jersey and Pennsylvania, though they exempt some form of tenancies.

Equity Above Your State’s Homestead Exemption = Possibility of Sale

If a homestead’s value exceeds the limits imposed by state law, creditors may sell the home but the debtor will be entitled to the amount of their state’s exemption.

Confused? Let’s illustrate the point with an example.

If your home in state X has a mortgage balance of $200,000 and is worth $300,000, you have $100,000 of home equity. This number exposes $50,000 of equity as “non-exempt” because state X only allows $50,000 of equity to be protected. In this example, creditors could force the sale of the home to go after the $50,000. However, were the home to be sold, you would be entitled to a check for $50,000 (the amount of state X’s homestead exemption). A creditor sale doesn’t destroy the exemption.

When there is only a small amount of non-exempt equity, it is unlikely that a creditor will go through with listing the property because the costs of putting the home on the market outweigh the proceeds gained from the sale. In these cases, it is often possible to negotiate a cash settlement with the creditor, which avoids the headaches of a sale.
