Filing for Divorce in Utah
Utah provides a no-fault option for divorce, which means neither spouse must prove any kind of marital misconduct that led to the breakdown of the marriage. You can also file for divorce on certain fault grounds which must be proven to the court.
To finalize a divorce, you must address and resolve a variety of issues such as:
- Property and debt division
- Child custody and visitation arrangements for the noncustodial parent in the case of minor children
- Child support
- Alimony
- Any other matters related to the termination of the marriage
When Should You Contact a Divorce Lawyer?
Whenever you are ready, you should speak to a divorce lawyer. If your marriage is falling apart because of constant fighting, growing apart, or experiencing unhappiness, speak with a divorce lawyer for legal advice.
Divorce is almost never a straightforward process. There are some divorce cases that will escalate beyond the point of negotiation and will require litigation. You should always assume that your ex-spouse will hire legal counsel if you must litigate your divorce in Salt Lake County. Your best bet would be to do the same. Our divorce attorney can help you prepare for the divorce process ensuing and meet all of the court’s procedures so your divorce can flow as smoothly as possible.
Speak With a Divorce Attorney in Salt Lake County
It is in your best interest to come to an agreement with your spouse outside the courtroom, which can then be submitted to the court for approval. If you cannot agree on the terms of your divorce through dispute resolution methods such as mediation, then the divorce issues will proceed to litigation and be decided by a judge.
