How is child custody determined in Utah?

Utah courts make child custody decisions based on the best interests of the child. Factors considered include the child’s emotional, physical, and educational needs, the stability of each parent’s home environment, the relationship between the child and each parent, and each parent’s ability to provide for the child’s welfare.
