Father Could Go to Jail for not Paying Child Support Since 2008

Custodial parents in Utah understand just how much it costs to raise a child these days. Many single parents would not be able to properly care for their children if it was not for the payment of child support by the noncustodial parent. When a parent is not receiving that much-needed support, children could go without even the basic needs.

One out-of-state father who was ordered to pay child support for his two children back in 2007 has reportedly failed to make his court ordered payments since 2008. As of November of last year, the man owed just under $100,000 in back child support. Warrants have been issued for his arrest in two counties, but his whereabouts are not known at this time.

If found, he apparently will face at least 10 felony counts for nonpayment of child support. If convicted, he could be sentenced to prison for no more than 15 years. It is also an unfortunate byproduct of this man’s case that his children have most likely not seen him for years.

Many Utah families may experience this same problem. Not only is child support not provided, but the children suffer even more because they may not have regular contact with the noncustodial parent. The fact that states are willing to prosecute these cases evidences the fact that many families are not receiving the support they are entitled to by law. When a custodial parent is not receiving regular child support payments, he or she may return to the courts for further relief. When a noncustodial parents has suffered a substantial change with respect to personal finances, such as the loss of a job or a health emergency, courts will typically consider an application for a downward modification in support payments based upon documented and acceptable circumstances

When I started my case with Brown Family Law, they had 650 positive reviews. Now, about a year later, they have 820. Not sure how much else you need to convince you, but do yourself a favor and stop looking. You're in the right place.We worked with Nathaniel for nearly a year on our case, and trusting someone with something so vulnerable and close to you as a custody case is difficult, but he made it easy. His knowledge of law and experience with the court system allowed us to make educated decisions quicker. He helped me feel confident in very unfamiliar territory, and having someone like Nate on my team allowed me to make the best decisions possible for our family. He thought of many things I didn't, and gave us the roadmap to success for navigating a complicated and stressful situation. I found myself constantly bragging about our lawyer to family and expressing how impressed I was in his skill and his fearless nature of getting sh** done. Nate got that dawg in him, yanno what I mean?I like the way Brown Family Law works with their clients; it's different than other law firms, and I can see the benefits of those differences. It's always easy to contact someone at the office, and I get a response very quickly. They are extremely communicative, fast, and thorough. They run a tight ship, and it's obvious the quality differences from other law firms.This is a big and heavy decision, but Brown Family Law will take a lot of that weight off your shoulders. Ask for Nate--you won't be led astray.

Response from the owner: Christie, thank you. So glad Nathaniel was able to help you and that we were able to communicate with you so quickly.

I can't say enough about Russell Yauney at Brown Family Law! He has helped me on multiple cases over the years and has always exceeded my expectations. Russell is one of the good guys who isn't afraid to tell you how it is and isn't afraid to stand up and fight for what is right. I'm glad that I have Russell and his team in my corner!

Response from the owner: Karl, glad Russell served you well.

Ryan Farrell

Samantha Lachowsky

Nathaniel was my attorney and I couldn't ask for someone more attentive and level-headed than he is. They made my divorce process so much easier and were very patient with me as I navigated the entire process. Thank you Brown Family Law for all of your help!

Response from the owner: Samantha, thank you and so glad Nathaniel did such a good job for you.

Danny Fenstermaker

Used Nathaniel Garrabrandt for a child custody case. He is very good, very professional and available. Having been through this a few times that communication is very important. The only warning, and this isnt just Nate per se, but very very costly.

Response from the owner: Danny, thank you for recommendation. Glad Nathaniel has been able to help you.
