Riverton Fathers Rights Attorney
Riverton sits along the Jordan River in the southwest valley, a once-rural farming community that has grown into one of Salt Lake County’s fast-growing suburban cities. The Law Offices of Jolley & Jolley represent fathers in Riverton and throughout Salt Lake County in divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, and protective order matters.
If a Riverton 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.
Riverton is a short drive from our Sandy office, and much of a case can also be handled remotely when that’s easier for your schedule. Our aim from the first conversation is to help a Riverton father understand his options and move forward with a clear, realistic plan — resolved by agreement wherever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where would my Riverton divorce or custody case be heard?
Riverton is in Salt Lake County, so cases fall under Utah’s Third Judicial District, which keeps courthouses in West Jordan and downtown Salt Lake City. Much of a case, though, is resolved through paperwork, negotiation, and mediation rather than a courtroom hearing.
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 Riverton 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.
