Alpine Fathers Rights Attorney
Alpine sits at the base of Lone Peak in northern Utah County, one of the state’s more affluent foothill communities near the mouth of American Fork Canyon. The Law Offices of Jolley & Jolley represent fathers in Alpine and throughout Utah County in divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, and protective order matters.
If a Alpine case does require a court hearing, it falls under Utah’s Fourth Judicial District Court, which covers Utah, Juab, and Millard Counties. In practice, though, much of family law — the paperwork, negotiation, and mediation that resolve most cases — is handled without a courtroom appearance, and many hearings that do occur are held by video.
Alpine is a short drive south of our Sandy office, and much of a case can also be handled remotely when that’s more convenient for your schedule. From the first conversation, our aim is to give an Alpine father a clear picture of where he stands and a realistic plan for moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where would my Alpine divorce or custody case be heard?
Alpine is in Utah County, served by Utah’s Fourth Judicial District, which also covers Juab and Millard Counties. Much of a case, though, is resolved through paperwork, negotiation, and mediation rather than a courtroom hearing.
Does Utah law favor mothers over fathers in custody cases?
No. Utah bases custody decisions on the best interests of the child, and the law does not prefer either parent because of gender. A father who is actively involved in his children’s lives stands on equal footing, and our job is to help document and present that involvement.
How is child support calculated in Utah?
Utah calculates child support from both parents’ incomes and the number of overnights each parent has with the children, applied to state guidelines. Because parent-time affects the number directly, custody and support are usually worked out together.
