Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

6 years ago my kids were placed with their father. At the time I was unfit but since then I have flipped my life around tremendously. In the time frame he (their father) has had domestic issues, DUI, drug issues, and has been in and out of jail.. My children have stayed with family members two different times because of his behavior. I want to have more access to my kids and I want to us to have equal rights to our children so that he can't use them as a weapon against me anymore. I do not know what rights I have to them and want to know how I can find out.. I can't afford to take him to court so I need the cheapest most affective option to gain legal rights.

The only way to get custody is to file a modification and say there has been a change in circumstances. The filing fee is $100 if you just want help with the paper work I can help you there which may make it more affordable.
