What types of custody arrangements do Utah courts order?

Sole Physical & Sole Legal Custody

Under this arrangement, the child lives primarily with the custodial parent, and the custodial parent makes the important decisions about the child’s life. If sole physical custody is awarded, the non-custodial parent is often awarded parent time with the child.  

Sole Physical & Joint Legal Custody

Under this arrangement, the child lives with one parent for more 225 nights per year, and the other parent has regular parent time, but both parents make important decisions about the child.

Joint Physical & Joint Legal Custody

Under this arrangement, the child lives with both parents on an alternating basis, with both parents having physical custody of the child at least 111 nights per year. And, both parents share decision making authority regarding the child’s well-being.
