Custody disputes are one of the most emotional aspects of a Utah Divorce or separation. It is very difficult for a court to determine which parent should have primary physical custody of a child and what the non-custodial parent's parent-time should be.
Often times court's will go with the "status quo" or existing state of affairs. Because of this fact, it is often difficult for a parent that has been the bread-earner of the family so his or her spouse could stay home and raise the children to get joint physical custody, and nearly impossible for that parent to get sole physical custody. More often than not when there is a stay-at-home parent in Utah, the father/husband is the bread earner. For purposes of this blog we'll assume such is the case.
