Can a Parent Legally Keep a Child from the Other Parent in Utah? Generally, the answer would be no so long as there is a custody order or agreement in place. If there is no custody order or if your child is under your control and custody, then you can keep the child from the other parent.

If you are a custodial parent, you cannot deny visitation rights to the non-custodial parent if there is a custody agreement or custody order in place. You must comply with the court order or agreement regardless of whether you want to do so or not.

In Utah, the court will usually not consider a child's preference unless they are 14. However, the child's preferences are not the only factor the court finds. The judge may place more weight on the child's wishes if they are 16 or older.

You do not need to complete a financial declaration, but you must send the following to the other party in your case: your last 3 current paystubs. your tax return from the previous year. 6 months of profit and loss statements if you are self-employed.

Technically, ing to Utah Law, the ?desires of a child 14 years of age or older shall be given added weight but is not the single controlling factor.? Again, 14 and above, the court may consider the preference of children and what they have to say, but even that will be the exception and not the normal case.
