<p>The graph shows that from April to May 2013, Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings increased from 954 to 1,054.  Similarly, Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings increased from 420 to 423.  Utah does not file many Chapter 11 bankruptcies, which decreased from 2 filings state wide to only 1 filing.  Chapter 12 bankruptcies are quite uncommon in Utah, and know Chapter 12 bankruptcies have been filed all year long.  Although this monthly trend looks like there are increases in bankruptcy filing for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases, May 2013 total filings were 1,489, which is less than the May 2012 total filings that were 1,562.  Each month of YR 2013 has had less bankruptcy filings than during the same months of YR 2012.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are often asked if it is more difficult for a father to win a Utah child custody case.  Last week, KSL specifically addressed this question.  See &#8220;Are fathers getting short end of the stick in Utah custody cases?&#8221; on KSL.com.</p>
<p>At the law offices of Pearson, Butler &amp; Carson, PLLC, our Utah divorce attorney team has represented both mothers and fathers in child custody matters.  Divorce can be very stressful, and adding what appears to be a bias for mothers having child custody in Utah can add emotional and financial pressure on fathers who are going through a divorce.   Child custody procedures can also be very confusing.  On the official Utah State Courts website, the court concedes that you &#8220;are not required to hire an attorney, but custody and parent time can be complicated.  Consider talking to an attorney to go over your problems.&#8221;  See <a title="Utah State Courts - Child Custody" href="http://www.utcourts.gov/howto/divorce/custody.html" target="_blank">Utah State Courts &#8211; Child Custody</a>.</p>
<h4>What is Utah Child Custody?</h4>
<p>Utah child custody cases include 2 types of custody, physical custody (where the child live) and legal custody (which parent has the legal right to make important decisions about the childrend).  Unless there is some extenuating circumstances such as domestic violence or a child with special needs, Utah child custody cases presume that joint legal custody is in the best interest of the child.</p>
<p>For more information, see &#8220;<a title="Utah Child Custody Attorneys" href="http://www.lawyerinutah.com/practice-areas/family-law/custody" target="_blank">Utah Child Custody Attorneys</a>&#8220;.</p>
<h4>What is Parent Time?</h4>
<p>Parent time, often referred to as &#8221;visitation&#8221;, is the time that the non-custodial parent gets to spend with a child.  Utah child custody attorneys typically encourage the divorcing father and mother to agree on a parent-time schedule.  If an agreement cannot be reached, Utah Code has different options for Children unger age 5 and Children ages  5 to 18.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://le.utah.gov/~code/TITLE30/htm/30_03_003500.htm">Children 5-18</a> (Utah Code Section 30-3-35)</li>
<li><a href="http://le.utah.gov/~code/TITLE30/htm/30_03_003505.htm">Children under 5</a> (Utah Code Section 30-3-35.5)</li>
</ul>
<p>That being said, the family court judge may order a schedule that the judge deems appropriate for the parents and child, always considering the child&#8217;s best interests.</p>
<h4>What if the Parent Fails to Comply with Parent Time?</h4>
<p>Here arises the issue.  The KSL article quotes Commissioner Thomas Arnett Jr., who has dealt with quarreling parents for the past 22 years.  The commissioner stated that parent time is one of his biggest issues and says he tries to be parent-neutral.  The courts throw out most custodial interference cases.  According to court records, 63 percent were against mothers while 37 percent were against fathers.   In Utah child custody cases, it can take quite a while to get parent time back if the law is broken.  A typical Utah custodial interference case can take 232 days to get from filing to judgment.</p>

<p>&#8220;People often under-estimate the serious consequences of a Class A misdemeanor simply because it is a misdemeanor as opposed to a felony,&#8221; explains Salt Lake City Utah criminal defense <a title="Attorney Ryan Holtan" href="http://www.lawyerinutah.com/about-us/ryan-holtan" target="_blank">attorney Ryan Holtan</a>. &#8220;A criminal defendant may be sentenced more severely for a Class A misdemeanor than a feloney.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a recent case, <a title="Utah Criminal Attorney" href="http://www.lawyerinutah.com/practice-areas/criminal-law" target="_blank">Utah Criminal Attorney</a> Ryan Holtan successfully defended a client accused of <a title="Utah Drug Charges" href="http://www.lawyerinutah.com/practice-areas/criminal-law/drug-charges" target="_blank">Utah drug charges</a> with a Class A misdemeanor possession of paraphernelia charge.  However, Mr. Holtan successfully argued for a dismissal with prejudice by the judge.  The judge agreed with Mr. Holtan&#8217;s reasoning and dismissed the case with prejudice.  As a result, that case can never be re-filed against Mr. Holtan&#8217;s client.</p>

<h3></h3>
<p>Based on the graph, Utah Chapter 7 filings increased from 560 in January and 639 in February to 1,134 in March.  March Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings doubled thosed in January and almost doubed those in February.  It is common for more individuals and couples to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in March around the time that they receive their tax refund money that they can use to pay to file for bankruptcy protection.  Similarly, the number of Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings increased from 400 in January and 368 in February to 443 in March.  But we don&#8217;t see the doubling in Chapter 13  filings from January to March.</p>
<p>Moreover, the graph also compares the total number of bankruptcy filings from Year 2012 to Year 2013.  For three months in a row, there has been less total bankruptcy filings in January (down from 1,103 to 964), February (down from 1,279 to 1,009), and March (down from 1,767 to 1,579).  The question arises, &#8220;Why are less people for bankruptcy protection in Utah?&#8221;  And a similar question, &#8220;Why did the number of Chapter 7 filings more than double from January to March, but the number of Chapter 13 filings only slightly increase from January to March?&#8221;</p>
<p>We have already observed that less people are filing for bankruptcy in Utah.  See &#8220;<a title="Are Less People Filing Bankruptcy? Utah Bankruptcy Attorney Discusses Recent Trends " href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/3/prweb10530160.htm" target="_blank">Are Less People Filing Bankruptcy? Utah Bankruptcy Attorney Discusses Recent Trends</a>&#8220;.  This downward trend in the number of bankruptcy filings could be attributable to many things, including a positive increase in Utah home values over the past year, and increase in Wall Street profits, and a general economic feeling that things appear to be improving in the United States and Utah economies.  But it could also be that the banks are not as aggressively foreclosing on homes right now although many individuals and families continue not to make their home mortgage payments.   In the end, only time will tell how things will play out with the economy.  But certainly the continual decrease in bankruptcy filings follows the increase in consumer confidence that things may be improving in the economy.</p>

<p><a title="Ryan Gregerson" href="http://www.lawyerinutah.com/about-us/ryan-gregerson" target="_blank">Attorney Ryan Gregerson </a>wanted to provide child support modification information to help our clients better understand the legal process for modifying child support obligations in Utah.  For more information, feel free to call Ryan at <strong>(801) 948-0655</strong>:</p>
<p>Once a party has received a child support order from the court, the order may be modified if certain conditions are met. Generally, a party must file a Petition to Modify with the court and request the change.  A party may request a change in child support once three years have passed since the entry of the order taking into consideration the following:</p>
<p>(i) determine whether there is a difference between the payor&#8217;s ordered support amount and the payor&#8217;s support amount that would be required under the guidelines; and<br />
(ii) if there is a difference as described in Subsection (8)(b)(i), adjust the payor&#8217;s ordered support amount to the payor&#8217;s support amount provided in the guidelines if:<br />
(A) the difference is 10% or more;<br />
(B) the difference is not of a temporary nature; and<br />
(C) the order adjusting the payor&#8217;s ordered support amount does not deviate from the guidelines.</p>
<p>Utah Code Ann. § 78B-12-210 (8)(b).</p>
<p>When a party requests a modification under (8)(b), a showing of a substantial change in circumstances is not necessary.</p>
<p>A party may request a change in child support within the first 3 years after entry of the order if there has been a substantial change in circumstances. A substantial change in circumstances may include:</p>
<p>(i) material changes in custody;<br />
(ii) material changes in the relative wealth or assets of the parties;<br />
(iii) material changes of 30% or more in the income of a parent;<br />
(iv) material changes in the employment potential and ability of a parent to earn;<br />
(v) material changes in the medical needs of the child; or<br />
(vi) material changes in the legal responsibilities of either parent for the support of others.</p>
<p>Utah Code Ann. § 78B-12-210 (9)(b).</p>
<p>Once a party petitions the court to modify an order entered in the last 3 years, the court must:</p>
<p>taking into account the best interests of the child:<br />
(i) determine whether a substantial change has occurred;<br />
(ii) if a substantial change has occurred, determine whether the change results in a difference of 15% or more between the payor&#8217;s ordered support amount and the payor&#8217;s support amount that would be required under the guidelines; and<br />
(iii) adjust the payor&#8217;s ordered support amount to that which is provided for in the guidelines if:<br />
(A) there is a difference of 15% or more; and<br />
(B) the difference is not of a temporary nature.</p>
<p>Utah Code Ann. § 78B-12-210 (9)(c).</p>
<p>If a party meets the limited conditions described in Utah Code Ann § 78B-12-210 (8)(b), then that party may have to option to file a motion to modify child support instead of a petition to modify child support.</p>

<p>In the event that the parties feel that divorce mediation is in inappropriate for their specific case, the Utah State Court, a Court Qualified Mediator, or the ADR Office may excuse mediation for “good cause”.  If the Utah divorce mediation process is excused, the divorce case may continue through the Utah court system.  Reasons to excuse mediation may include that one of the parties feeling unsafe, that higher level of conflict exists between the parties, one of the parties may not be able to express themselves while in a mediation setting, and other reasons deemed excusable by the Utah State Court.   See <a title="Utah Courts Mediation Forms" href="http://www.utcourts.gov/mediation/divmed/forms.asp" target="_blank">www.utcourts.gov/mediation/divmed/forms.asp</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>What are Utah Bankruptcy Exemptions?</h3>
<p>Almost everyone who comes in for a free initial bankruptcy consultation asks me if they are going to lose a car or a house because they are filing bankruptcy.  They think that they will have their property taken away as some kind of punishment for filing.  That is not how it works.</p>
<p>Most of my clients get to keep their car and their house.  They also get to keep all of their clothing, appliances, beds and bedding, and food and provisions.  <a title="Chapter 7 Bankruptcy" href="http://www.lawyerinutah.com/practice-areas/utah-bankruptcy-attorney/chapter-7-bankruptcy-law" target="_blank">Chapter 7 Bankruptcy</a> and <a title="Chapter 13 Bankruptcy" href="http://www.lawyerinutah.com/practice-areas/utah-bankruptcy-attorney/chapter-13-bankruptcy-law" target="_blank">Chapter 13 Bankruptcy</a> is supposed to be a “fresh start” for people.  To make sure that happens, the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Utah, allows people to keep a certain amount of property when they file.  Each state gets to decide how much their citizens get to keep.  What you get to keep is called your Exempt Assets, or your Protected Property.  In Utah, the Exemption Statute is found in Utah State Code Section 78B-5-505.</p>
<h3>How Do Utah Bankruptcy Exemptions Work?</h3>
<p>In Utah, each person gets to keep a home with up to $20,000 in equity.  So, a couple gets to keep a home with up to $40,000 in equity.  To find out your home’s equity, find out what the home is worth, then subtract off the amount of any mortgages and other liens.  The amount left over is your equity.  Each person filing also gets to keep a car worth up to $2,500 in equity.  Again, find out what the car is worth, subtract off the amount of your loan, the rest is equity.  A 401(k) and proceeds of a whole life insurance contract are also exempt, except any amounts you’ve contributed in the last 12 months.  To get the complete list, check out the Utah Statute, or speak with an experienced bankruptcy attorney.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Utah Lawyers Offer Full-Service Legal Help</h3>
<p>When the law office of Pearson, Butler &amp; Carson, PLLC, was formed, the intention was to create a full-service law firm for Utah small business owners and consumers.  Founders Carson Pearson and Jeff Butler saw that many Salt Lake City Attorney offices were offering a few legal services and would be placed in a predicament when their clients needed attorney services outside of their practice areas.  This model appeared inefficient and ineffective.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">For instance, clients looking at divorce options would be facing a lower household income making it difficult to continue payments on unsecured creditors, auto loans, and large mortgages.  The divorce attorneys would spend hours and bill those hours to a client trying to decide which spouse was responsible for different debts.  Often times, however, one of the spouses would choose to keep their primary residence and be required to refinance the house within a certain period of time, such as within a 2-year period.  Unfortunately, the housing market declined and the spouse found it impossible to refinance the residential mortgage.  Thus both spouses continued to be tied financially to the property.  Furthermore, the clients often would have children and questions would arise regarding their estate plan now that they were divorcing.  That is, their current estate plan indicated their soon-to-be divorced spouse was still listed as beneficiary in the event the other spouse died. The Utah lawyers would be required to refer their clients out to other attorneys outside their office.  This would prove to be very expensive and inefficient  since the new Utah lawyers had to be educated on the matter and try to provide legal options in coordination with another attorney outside of their law offices.</p>
<p>To address these  and several other issues, the Salt Lake City attorney team at Pearson, Butler &amp; Carson reached out to other Utah lawyers experienced in specific practice areas and brought them into the office. The result was the creation of a full-service law firm.</p>
