(a) The certificate of incorporation of any corporation organized under this chapter shall state:

(1) The name of the corporation, which shall be a name indicating the purpose for which the corporation is organized [e.g., “The Medical Clinic Board for the (County) (City) or (Town) of ________________”].

(2) The location of its principal office and the post office address thereof.

(3) The period for the duration of the corporation. (If the duration is to be perpetual, this fact should be stated).

(5) Any other provisions not contrary to law which the incorporators choose to insert for the regulation and conduct of the affairs of the corporation.

(b) The certificate of incorporation shall be acknowledged before an officer authorized by the laws of this state to take acknowledgment of deeds. When so acknowledged, the certificate shall be filed in the office of the judge of probate of the county, or one of the counties in which any municipality is located, and the judge of probate shall immediately file and record the certificate. Thereupon the applicants shall constitute a corporation under the name stated in the certificate of incorporation.

(1)(a) Within 30 days of notice of any administrative action on the part of the office to establish paternity or establish, modify or enforce a child support order, the obligor may file a petition for de novo review with the district court.

(b) For purposes of Subsection (1)(a), notice includes:

(i) notice actually received by the obligor in accordance with Section 62A-11-304.4;

(ii) participation by the obligor in the proceedings related to the establishment of the paternity or the modification or enforcement of child support;  or

(iii) receiving a paycheck in which a reduction has been made for child support.

(2) The petition shall name the office and all other appropriate parties as respondents and meet the form requirements specified in Section 63G-4-402.

(3) A copy of the petition shall be served upon the Child and Family Support Division of the Office of Attorney General.

(4)(a) If the petition is regarding the amount of the child support obligation established in accordance with Title 78B, Chapter 12, Utah Child Support Act, the court may issue a temporary order for child support until a final order is issued.

(b) The petitioner may file an affidavit stating the amount of child support reasonably believed to be due and the court may issue a temporary order for that amount. The temporary order shall be valid for 60 days, unless extended by the court while the action is being pursued.

(c) If the court upholds the amount of support established in Subsection (4)(a), the petitioner shall be ordered to make up the difference between the amount originally ordered in Subsection (4)(a) and the amount temporarily ordered under Subsection (4)(b).

(d) This Subsection (4) does not apply to an action for the court-ordered modification of a judicial child support order.

(5) The court may, on its own initiative and based on the evidence before it, determine whether the petitioner violated U.R.Civ. P. Rule 11 by filing the action. If the court determines that U.R.Civ.P.Rule 11 was violated, it shall, at a minimum, award to the office attorney fees and costs for the action.

(6) Nothing in this section precludes the obligor from seeking administrative remedies as provided in this chapter.
