UTAH Part 8

Examples of factors that a judge might look at when determining the “best interests of the child” are:

    The emotional, social, moral, and educational needs of the child;

    The home environments offered by each party;

    The interpersonal relationship between the child and each parent;

    The preference of the child, if the child is old enough and mature enough to give his/her preference;

    The mental stability of each parent (including any mental illness or drug use);

    Any history of domestic violence; and

    The safety of the child.
