Legal Answers
5 Questions Answered
Q. 1) Can one parent pay the entire cost of health insurance premiums for the child?
A: 1) Yes, although the default provision in Utah law provides for the parties to split the cost of insurance.

2) Good question, it is usually the tax year. So, if you are filing your 2015 tax return in 2016, that is an odd year (because it is the 2015 tax return).
Q. Can I "the boyfriend" be drug tested at my girlfriends custody court date with her ex? We live together but not married
A: It is possible. Since you are around the children regularly (as you live with them), your conduct and character is an issue in the custody determination. You should keep yourself out of trouble and then it won't be a problem, even if they do order a drug test (which would be unlikely unless you have been in trouble recently for drug use). Good luck!
Q. can I contact the judge to let him listen to a voicemail left on my phone?
A: Short answer, no. You cannot have communications with the judge outside court. Depending on the nature of the voice message, you may be able to submit it as evidence to the Court. However, it may or may not be relevant depending on the issues in your case.
