Utah Admin. Code R512-302-10 - Cohabitation Not Permitted for Foster Parents
A foster parent or foster parents must comply with Section 62A-4a-602, which provides that Child and Family Services cannot place a child with a couple who is cohabiting unless they are relatives of the child. Child and Family Services gives priority for foster care placements to families in which both a man and a woman are legally married or valid proof that a court or administrative order has established a valid common law marriage, Section 30-1-4.5. Legally married couples, individuals who are not cohabiting, and relatives of the child in state custody may be foster parents.
