physical custody

• Joint Physical Custody has Many Advantages

If you talk to noncustodial parents, many are passionate about child support, custody and parent time. Noncustodial parents -- usually fathers, who according to U.S. Census Bureau figures pay 90 percent of child support -- have good reasons to oppose any increases in child support amounts. We specifically oppose the whopping increases included in the "updated" child-support tables proposed by Sen. Greg Bell and Rep. Julie Fisher. Here's why. First, the methods used to arrive at the current child-support tables were derived from a confusing mishmash of economic methods that are nearly impossible to understand. Utah uses the "cost shares" method of imputing the support tables based on a mix of fixed and marginal costs of supporting a child within an intact family, not a divorced family. T...

• What is custody?

Custody is the legal authority to control a child. The power to make important decisions about a child is generally referred to as "legal" custody. The power to maintain physical, day-to-day control over a child is generally referred to as "physical" custody. The custodial parent is the parent with physical custody of a child. The other parent is the non-custodial parent. Both parts of custody - legal and physical - can be sole or joint. Each state has a statutory standard to be used by the courts in deciding custody disputes. All 50 states have enacted the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act which is intended to avoid conflict between courts of different states in cases where parents have moved children from one state to another. In such cases, the Uniform Act provides that the pr...
