This rule points to the official worksheets used to calculate child support in Utah. Courts and parents use these worksheets to figure out how much child support should be paid in a case. The worksheets take into account things like both parents' income, how many children are involved, and how parenting time is split between the parents.
If you are going through a divorce or custody case that involves child support, you will likely need to fill out one of these worksheets. The math follows Utah's official child support formula, so the worksheet helps make sure the calculation is done the same way in every case. Courts use the completed worksheet to help decide the final child support amount in your case.
If you're not sure which worksheet applies to your situation or how to fill it out, you can ask the court clerk for guidance or talk to a lawyer. Getting the numbers right matters, since this worksheet often becomes part of the official court order.
