2021 Utah Code|Title 78B - Judicial Code|Chapter 12 - Utah Child Support Act|Part 2 - Calculation and Adjustment|Section 215 - Child care costs.

78B-12-215. Child care costs.    (1) The need to include child care costs in the child support order is presumed, if the custodial parent or the noncustodial parent, during extended parent-time, is working and actually incurring the child care costs.     (2) The need to include child care costs is not presumed, but may be awarded on a case-by-case basis, if the costs are related to the career or occupational training of the custodial parent, or if otherwise ordered by the court in the interest of justice.     (3) The court may impute a monthly obligation for child care costs when it imputes income to a parent who is providing child care for the minor child of both parties so that the parties are not incurring child care costs for the child. Any monthly obligation imputed under this section shall be applied towards any actual child care costs incurred within the same month for the child.    Amended by Chapter 467, 2013 General Session

78B-12-217. Award of tax exemption for dependent children.

Unless the parties otherwise stipulate in writing, the court or administrative agency shall award in any final order the exemption on a case-by-case basis.     (2) In awarding the exemption, the court or administrative agency shall consider:   (a) as the primary factor, the relative contribution of each parent to the cost of raising the child; and     (b) among other factors, the relative tax benefit to each parent.       (3) Notwithstanding Subsection (2), the court or administrative agency may not award any exemption to the noncustodial parent if that parent is not current in his child support obligation, in which case the court or administrative agency may award an exemption to the custodial parent.     (4) An exemption may not be awarded to a parent unless the award will result in a tax benefit to that parent.    Renumbered and Amended by Chapter 3, 2008 General Session

 Effective 9/1/2021  78B-12-219. Adjustment when child becomes emancipated.    (1) When a child becomes 18 years old or graduates from high school during the child's normal and expected year of graduation, whichever occurs later, or if the child dies, marries, becomes a member of the armed forces of the United States, or is emancipated in accordance with Title 80, Chapter 7, Emancipation, the base child support award is automatically adjusted to the base combined child support obligation for the remaining number of children due child support, shown in the table that was used to establish the most recent order, using the incomes of the parties as specified in that order or the worksheets, unless otherwise provided in the child support order.     (2) The award may not be reduced by a per child amount derived from the base child support award originally ordered.     (3) If the incomes of the parties are not specified in the most recent order or the worksheets, the information regarding the incomes is not consistent, or the order deviates from the guidelines, automatic adjustment of the order does not apply and the order will continue until modified by the issuing tribunal. If the order is deviated and the parties subsequently obtain a judicial order that adjusts the support back to the date of the emancipation of the child, the Office of Recovery Services may not be required to repay any difference in the support collected during the interim.
