Evidence of a parent being a convicted sex offender is clearly and unmistakably relevant and admissible evidence as to the issue of whether sex offender parent can have contact with his child and the manner of contact with the child. The fact that a parent has allowed the child to spend time with the sex offender parent previously does not make the sex offense conviction a moot point. In Utah, if the parent has an enforceable order awarding her sole physical custody of a child, then unless the decree of divorce or the decree of paternity provides otherwise, the custodial parent can relocate anywhere she wishes within 150 miles of her current residence within the same state. If the custodial parent relocate to another state, even if it is less than 150 miles away from her current address, or if the parent moves more than 150 miles away from her current address, then Utah Code Section 30-3-37 requires that parent to notify, if possible, the other parent of intent to relocate 60 days in advance of relocation.
