When can a court deviate from child support guidelines?
Generally, child support is set according to the guidelines described in the Utah Child Support Act. However, these guidelines are rebuttable. A Utah court can order a different amount if one (or both) of the parties asks for a different amount and provides a good reason for the amount requested. The following Utah child support statutes discuss the guidelines and how they are applied: Utah Code Section 78B-12-202 and 78B-12-210.
