We revised two questions in our Utah State Gun Laws section, based on legislative changes that addressed whether asylum applicants or those with TPS can have a gun:
- I am a victim of domestic violence and the abuser has a gun. Is that legal?
- I do not have a protection order against the abuser and s/he has not been convicted of a crime. Can s/he have a gun?
We revised six questions in our Utah Civil Stalking Injunctions section:
- Who can get a stalking injunction? to clarify the limitations on who the order can be filed against.
- Where can I get a stalking injunction? to clarify where a petitioner should file the order.
- What are the steps to get a stalking injunction? to clarify how a petitioner’s address may be kept confidential.
- What types of stalking injunctions are there? How long do they last?, What protections can I get in a stalking injunction?, and Can the order be modified or dismissed? to improve readability.
We revised four questions in our Utah Custody section to improve readability:
- What is custody?
- What is joint custody?
- What is parent-time?
- Should I start a court case to ask for supervised parent-time?
We also separated the questions What factors will a judge consider when deciding custody and parent-time? and What factors is a judge not supposed to consider when deciding custody and parent-time?, based on a change to add a child’s sexual orientation to the facts that a custody judge can’t use to evaluate a parent’s fitness.
We added two statutes related to discrimination and felony crimes to our Selected Utah Statutes page, and added the crime of “violent felony” to our Utah Crimes page.
