What you should know about Utah Child Custody Standard visitation... Standard visitation is actually the minimum amount of time a parent will get to spend with his or her children without evidence that spending time with the parent will endanger the children. Standard parent time is 1) every other weekend from Friday afternoon until Sunday evening, 2) one weeknight per week from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.–if the parties cannot agree on which night this will occur, it occurs on Wednesday night, 3) four weeks during the summer, and 4) half of the holidays each year. If the parents cannot agree... Utah courts encourage parents to agree on a parent-time schedule. Standard parent time is the minimum the courts will allow either parent to receive without evidence that spending time with a parent will be dangerous for the children. If the parents agree to more parent time than standard parent time, the court will usually approve the schedule unless the court finds it is not in the best interests of the children. If the parties cannot agree on a parent-time schedule, the court will usually order them to obtain a custody evaluation. This evaluation is performed by a psychologist or social worker and contains the evaluator’s recommendation for a parent-time schedule. The parties generally share the costs of the custody evaluation. Please call us today. We can help right now!
