If current child support is owed for a dependent child and OCSE has a case for a child, OCSE works to direct the support to the individual or agency that has physical custody of the child. Past-due support is usually owed to the individual who had physical custody of the child when the support was initially due.

If both parties are in agreement to make the change, you can file a "Stipulation and Order to Amend Judgment for Support/Maintenance/Custody/Placement."

Child custody is a term that refers to the rights and responsibilities that a parent carries with respect to his/her child.

Child support is defined by law as the ongoing monetary expenditures and payments necessary to cover a child’s living and medical expenses. Both parents have a legal duty to provide financial support for their children. The court may order either or both parents to make ongoing payments to cover a child’s living and medical expenses.

Until the court issues another order, you will continue to be legally responsible to pay support as directed by the latest order.

In Utah, the Office of Recovery Services' Child Support Services and Children in Care programs pursue paternity establishment and child support collection in two situations: When someone is receiving public assistance or if children are put in the custody of the state, ORS receives the case automatically; and When someone applies for services because they need help obtaining or updating an order and collecting child support. ORS cannot get involved with custody and visitation issues.

It is especially difficult with custody in that you have to show that the child is in a detrimental situation that needs to be changed. (As opposed to merely showing that it would be in the child's best interest to have a change in custody.)

What this often means is that your spouse's income has increased markedly, or that your income or financial situation has changed substantially.

No. At your child support hearing, you will be asked where the child lives and who is living with the child, and many other questions about your and the other parent's income. If you got the child support order with the help of Child Support Enforcement Services, speak to your caseworker. The caseworker will contact the parent and try to work something out with them. Or, the caseworker - through the District Attorney?s Office - will go to court and file a Rule for Contempt.

Even after your divorce has been finalized, the Family Court has the authority to change existing child support, visitation and custody arrangements.
