Draper Fathers Rights Attorney
Draper sits at the south end of the Salt Lake Valley, along the fast-growing Point of the Mountain business corridor. The Law Offices of Jolley & Jolley represent fathers in Draper and throughout Salt Lake County in divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, and protective order matters.
If a Draper case does require a court hearing, it falls under Utah’s Third Judicial District Court, which covers Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele 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.
Draper is just south of our Sandy office, so meeting in person is a short trip — and when it’s more convenient, consultations, paperwork, and many hearings can be handled remotely instead. From the first conversation, our aim is to give a Draper father a clear picture of where he stands and a realistic plan for moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where would my Draper divorce or custody case be heard?
Draper is in Salt Lake County, so cases fall under Utah’s Third Judicial District, which also covers Summit and Tooele Counties, with courthouses in downtown Salt Lake City and West Jordan. Much of a case, though, is resolved through paperwork, negotiation, and mediation rather than a courtroom hearing.
Can a father get equal parent-time in Utah?
Utah law sets a minimum parent-time schedule and allows for more, including equal or near-equal time, based on the best interests of the child. A father’s day-to-day involvement is a central factor, and we help Draper fathers document and present it 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.
