Child Custody Attorney Serving Salt Lake County & Utah County
When it comes to your children, nothing matters more. At Witherspoon Law, we fight to protect your parental rights and your relationship with your child, with skilled advocacy and genuine compassion every step of the way.
Your Relationship With Your Child Is Worth Fighting For
Child custody disputes are among the most emotionally charged legal matters a parent can face. Whether you're going through a divorce, navigating a custody modification, or dealing with a co-parenting conflict, the decisions made now will shape your child's life for years to come.
At Witherspoon Law, Attorney Kyle Witherspoon understands the weight of what's at stake. We take the time to understand your family's unique circumstances, explain your options clearly, and build a strategy focused on securing the best possible outcome, for you and for your child.
Child Custody Representation in Utah
We handle all aspects of child custody law in Utah, including:
- Legal Custody — Who has the right to make major decisions about your child's education, healthcare, and upbringing. We advocate for arrangements that reflect your role as a parent.
- Physical Custody — Where your child lives and how time is divided between parents. We work to establish parenting plans that serve your child's best interests.
- Joint Custody — Many Utah families benefit from joint custody arrangements. We help structure agreements that work in practice, not just on paper.
- Sole Custody — When circumstances warrant, we advocate for sole custody with the evidence and legal strategy to support your case.
- Parent-Time & Visitation — Utah courts refer to visitation as "parent-time." We help establish, protect, and enforce parent-time schedules that keep you involved in your child's life.
- Custody Modifications — Life changes. If a material change in circumstances has occurred, we can help you seek a modification to an existing custody order.
- Custody Evaluations — When the court orders a custody evaluation, we prepare you for the process and advocate for your interests throughout.
- Paternity — For unmarried parents, establishing paternity is the first step to securing custody and parent-time rights. We guide you through the process.
- Enforcement Actions — If a co-parent is violating a custody order, we take swift action to enforce your rights and protect your child.
An Attorney Who Understands What's at Stake
Child custody cases are never just legal proceedings, they're deeply personal. At Witherspoon Law, we combine legal skill with a genuine understanding of what families go through during these disputes. Our commitment to every custody client includes:

- Clear, honest communication — You'll always understand where your case stands and what comes next.
