What Does it Cost to File for Custody in Utah?

The filing fee for a child custody case in Utah is $360.

There are also costs associated with service. See, once you file your initial custody documents with the Court, you have to have someone serve your soon-to-be ex with those documents. The Utah Rules of Civil Procedure specify you can’t do that personally (too much room for monkey business), so you should have a professional process server do it. That might be a constable with the sheriff’s office, or a company that serves these sort of documents regularly. Either way, the cost will likely range from $15 to $30.

All told, the cost to file and serve a custody case averages around $400.

Absolutely stand out humans leading me through one of the most stressful and disorienting events of my life. I got what I needed and with my soul intact. Great insights, compassion and I feel having the support and capabilities of Nick to be instrumental to my coming out the other side with optimism! Cheers, Brown Family Law!

Bill Tovar

I cannot express how grateful I am for the way Nathaniel and the team at Brown Family Law handled my divorce case. Their level of professionalism and honesty is truly exceptional—qualities that used to be standard but, unfortunately, feel increasingly rare today. From start to finish, they were supportive, transparent, and genuinely committed to helping me navigate an incredibly difficult time. I felt heard, respected, and well-represented every step of the way. I highly recommend Brown Family Law to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled legal team.

Sincerely

William Tovar,

I cannot recommend Attorney Fredian's work enough, she has been compassionate every step of the way, responsive, shown true care for her clients and an example of what a lawyer should be. An advocate who cares.

Will Litchfield

I can’t recommend Nick Schwartz enough. From day one, Nick approached my case and legal concerns with compassion, honesty, and provided incredible insight. He was always responsive, took the time to explain every step, and made sure I felt supported. Nick is incredibly sharp and highly motivated to serve his clients. Thank you Nick for everything you did!
