Both parents have a clear and unambiguous statutory duty to provide support for their children. If a parent does not have a lot of education or work experience, they are likely to be imputed an income of a minimum wage worker working 40 hours a week. Beyond that, the court doesn’t have to consider what you earn in determining your child support requirement; it considers your ability to earn.
A person cannot suddenly quit their high paying job in order to avoid their upcoming child support obligation. This is where a vocational expert is often brought in to make sure that income isn’t being hidden or that someone isn’t voluntarily underemployed. Once income is established, the process is fairly straightforward. There is a formula in the Utah Child Support Act. For inputs, the formula requires the income of both parties, the number of children, and the number of overnights the children will be spending at their respective parents’ houses. With that information, the formula calculates the child support obligation and assigns it to one of the parties.
