The family court reform movement received a boost earlier this year when the Utah State Legislature passed a bill that encourages shared parenting. HB 35 – Parent-Time Schedule Amendments, sponsored by Representative Lowry Snow (Republican – St. George), urges the court to increase non-custodial parent time from 110 to at least 145 days per year. Utah is one of the first states to pass such legislation; a shared parenting bill was enacted in South Dakota last year and several other states are considering measures as well.
