These guidelines consider factors such as both parents&#8217; gross monthly incomes, the number of children involved, and the terms of child custody arrangements.<\/p>\r\n<p>The amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/family\/child-support\/child-support-basics.html\" title=\"child support\">child support<\/a> determined under Utah child support laws aims to provide adequate financial support for children in the care and custody of the custodial parent.
