When Children are Involved
Paternity Action
When a child is born, a parent may need to establish his/her legal rights, including custody, parent-time, and child support. The attorneys at Henriksen Henriksen can assist the father, mother, or a third party on behalf of the child, to seek a declaration of paternity to legally establish a parent-child relationship with the father and all of the rights and obligations associated with that declaration.

Guardianship and Conservatorship
A legal guardian is a person who has the legal authority to care for the personal and property interests of another person. Usually, a person has the status of guardian because the ward is incapable of caring for his or her own interests due to infancy, minority, incapacity, or disability. Utah Courts have the power to appoint a guardian for an individual in need of special protection. A Conservator is a person appointed by a court to supervise the person’s financial affairs.
At Henriksen & Henriksen, we can assist you in determining the best option for you and assist you with the complicated legal process to obtain your goal.

Rights & Obligations between parents
Child Custody
Child custody refers to the rights and obligations between parents, regarding their children. There are two types of custody. Physical custody refers to the amount of time each parent is permitted physically with a child. This may be sole, primary, or joint custody. Legal custody refers to a parent's decision-making rights regarding a child's health, education, and welfare. It, too, may be sole, primary, or joint custody.
At Henriksen & Henriksen, we recognize that the parent-child relationship is of utmost importance and that you and your children’s best interests should be the focus. Henriksen & Henriksen has built its practice on helping parents do just that.

Contempt Proceedings - Order to Show Cause
A finding of contempt of court may result from a failure to obey a lawful order of a court. An action for contempt may be based on a final divorce decree, as well as on temporary orders that have been put in place during the proceedings.
At Henriksen & Henriksen, we will assist you in bringing to the court’s attention this behavior on the part of the opposing party.

Experienced adoption guidance
Adoption
At Henriksen & Henriksen, we can assist you with the adoption process. Because the consequences of a termination/adoption are personal and almost always irreversible, the court proceeds with caution and requires strict adherence to the procedures, background checks, and other filings. The assistance of an attorney at Henriksen & Henriksen is, therefore, invaluable whether to assist an individual whose rights are sought to be terminated or to bring about the adoption for the hopeful parent.
