Mothers face unique challenges in Utah family court — from defending against aggressive custody fights to ensuring adequate child support and alimony are ordered and enforced. At Hepworth Legal, we represent mothers across the full spectrum of family law matters, fighting for outcomes that protect both the mother's financial security and the best interests of her children.
Protecting Primary Custody
When a father seeks primary or equal custody, mothers must respond strategically. We help mothers document their primary caregiver role, present evidence of the children's established routines and bonds, and advocate compellingly for custody arrangements that serve the children's best interests — which often means preserving stability with the primary caregiver.
Child Support Enforcement
When a father fails to pay ordered child support, there are powerful enforcement tools available — wage garnishment, license suspension, contempt of court, and more. We pursue enforcement aggressively so mothers and children receive the support they are legally owed.
Safety and Domestic Violence
When safety concerns exist, custody proceedings take on even higher stakes. We work with courts to obtain protective orders, request supervised visitation arrangements, and ensure that documented history of domestic violence or unsafe parenting is properly presented to the court.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a mother move out of state with her children in Utah?
A custodial parent seeking to relocate with children must give the other parent 60 days written notice and file with the court if the other parent objects. Relocation disputes can be complex — we help mothers navigate the legal requirements for relocation and respond to objections.
