Melanie Cook Law is a boutique litigation law firm located in the historic city of Bountiful, Utah.
Here is a brief description of some of these legal concepts.
Anyone over the age of 18 has the right to make legal decisions and enter into enforceable contracts.
This means that a person over the age of 18 has the capacity to sign contracts, sign a will, create (and sign) a family trust and sign any other legal documents.
However, when a person is under the influence of alcohol, the influence of medication or drugs, or has mental deficiencies, they will not have the capacity to sign legal documents.
Utah child support can be tricky to calculate, especially if one parent has been a "stay-at-home" parent.
Another issue comes up when one parent is self-employed.
With a self-employed parent, we must look at all sources of income and spending from the business.
Many parents ask about the amount of child support, especially during the divorce process.
In a nutshell, both parents must financially support their children.
This means that a "stay-at-home" parent will likely be imputed an income at minimum wage (by the Court) for determining the child support amount.
Once we meet and discuss the issues of your case, we will draft a formal Petition.
The type of Petition (or Complaint) will depend on your specific type of case.
Once we finish the Petition, the next step is to "serve" the other party with that paperwork.
This is usually done by a Sheriff or a private individual (over the age of 18), who is not part of your case.
Generally, a Summons will be served with the Petition.
Most of the time, the paperwork is served upon the other party in person.
Service of the paperwork can take place at a person's residence or work, or anywhere where the other party is located.
