Case Law involving Utah Child Custody
“A custodial parent’s inflexibility regarding visitation may in itself constitute a material change in circumstances warranting reopning of custody issue.” Sigg v. Sigg 905 P.2d 908.
“In proceeding to modify divorce decree by transferring custody of a minor child, child’s preferences are properly considered by trial court in determining future custody although they are not necessarily controlling.” Williams v. Williams, 655 P.2d 652
“It was inappropriate for trial court, in determining ex-husband’s petition for change of custody, to heavily rely on 11-year-old child’s statement that he preferred to live with his father; child’s preference was only one of several factors to be considered and was not binding on court.” Cummings v. Cummings, 821 P.2d 472.
