Clearfield Fathers Rights Attorney
Clearfield, in northern Davis County, grew up around Hill Air Force Base and the former Naval Supply Depot, and remains closely tied to the base’s workforce today. The Law Offices of Jolley & Jolley represent fathers in Clearfield and throughout Davis County in divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, and protective order matters.
If a Clearfield case does require a court hearing, it falls under Utah’s Second Judicial District Court, which covers Davis, Morgan, and Weber 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.
Clearfield is further north than some of our other cities, but much of a case — consultations, paperwork, and many hearings — can be handled remotely so distance rarely gets in the way. Our aim is to give a Clearfield father a clear picture of where he stands and a sensible plan for the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which court handles a Clearfield divorce or custody case?
Clearfield is in Davis County, so cases fall under Utah’s Second Judicial District, which also covers Morgan and Weber Counties. Many matters are resolved through negotiation and mediation without a hearing, and hearings that are needed are often held by video.
As a father in Utah, can I get custody of my children?
Yes. Utah decides custody by the best interests of the child, without any preference based on gender. A father who is an involved, engaged parent stands on equal footing, and we help Clearfield fathers document and present that involvement clearly.
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.
