My husband's daughter lives in Utah with her mother. According to the legal paperwork they signed he is allowed to have her during the summer for four weeks. Upon asking for her we were told no. If this developes into a larger issue how would we go about taking action? We live in another state. Do we need an attorney in Utah?

Jurisdiction is in the state of Utah

You can hire an attorney where you live and deal with this interstate. Now if this is spelled out in the divorce decree then she is in violation of the decree which puts her in comtempt of court. Since it is interstate, getting a lawyer would be a good choice because he will carry greater weght dealing across states then you ever could. You will have to be patient here as this could take a little time. Good luck

It depends on what the agreement said. If you are looking to draw action against her, in general, it would need to be where she is, unless there is some other factor determining jurisdiction.

It depends upon WHY you were told "no" does the daughter not want to visit with her father? If so she can not be forced to do so. First it has to be determined as to WHO is saying no and their reasons.
