It is a modern myth that a parent who has sole legal and physical custody of a child has all parental rights and the “noncustodial” parent has no parental rights. Wrong answer. For Utah policy on parent-time, see http://le.utah.gov/~code/TITLE30/htm/30_03_003200.htm. Under Utah law, the minimum “parent-time” (no longer called visitation, because a noncustodial parent doesn’t just visit their child/ren, but parents them during the time they spend with the noncustodial parent), provides (generally) for the noncustodial parent-time to be every other weekend, every other holiday, 1/2 the winter vacationbreak and 4 weeks in the summer. In Utah, for children 5 and older, see http://le.utah.gov/~code/TITLE30/htm/30_03_003500.htm. In Utah, for children younger than 5, see http://le.utah.gov/~code/TITLE30/htm/30_03_003505.htm. In Utah, for parents who live further than moving 150 miles or more from the residence specified in the Utah court’s decree, see http://le.utah.gov/~code/TITLE30/htm/30_03_003700.htm. For Utah advisory guidelines suggested to govern all parent-time arrangements between parents (which are often adopted as the law of the case in divorce decrees and are no longer “advisory” but required), see http://le.utah.gov/~code/TITLE30/htm/30_03_003300.htm.
Whether you have just decided to separate or have been separated for some time, you and the other parent obviously need to think about and agree on arrangements about the children.
