Parentage and Child Support Amendments

HB 522 modifies Utah's child support laws for children placed in state custody or with relatives by juvenile courts. It requires courts to notify parents/guardians of support obligations within 30 days, establishes when support accrues (typically day 61 after a hearing), and exempts parents relying solely on disability benefits for their own condition. The bill also clarifies that parents aren't liable for support if a child is improperly removed from their home and later returned. These changes apply to cases involving the Division of Child and Family Services and juvenile courts, directly affecting parents, guardians, and child support enforcement offices.
