Family Law and Divorce Attorneys in Utah –— Fighting for Your Rights

The best way to get answers specific to your case is to schedule a consultation with a Utah family law attorney. However, the following questions have basic answers — and they can help you better understand your situation:
“Do I Need an Attorney for an Uncontested Divorce?”
Many people believe they can handle their divorce alone — particularly when the involved parties are able to reach amicable solutions. However, filing for divorce can still be complicated. There are certain requirements that must be met, and in some instances, a judge may decide that agreements reached by you and your former partner are not in the best interests of fairness or any children who may be involved. An attorney can help you avoid such issues.
“Can My Spouse and I Reach Our Own Agreement on Child Custody?”
Family courts in Utah highly prefer when parents can reach an agreement themselves regarding the custody of their children. Parents working together is always preferable over drawn-out legal battles. However, Utah courts base all child custody decisions on the best interests of the children involved. If a judge believes the agreement reached by you and the other parent does not meet this threshold, they will refuse to approve it.
“What Is Equitable Division in a Utah Divorce?”
Many states handle property division in divorces by trying to equally separate all assets and debts. However, this is not how divorce is handled in Utah. We live in an equitable distribution state, and this means property division focuses on fairness rather than equal division. This can create complicated scenarios where parties are unsure of what they’re entitled to, but a Utah Family Law attorney can guide you through the process.
“Who has to pay alimony in a Divorce?”
Antiquated thinking dictates that the husband will have to pay alimony to their wife following a divorce. However, societal changes have rendered this dated assumption void. Spousal support is meant to help both parties continue living at the standard they’ve become accustomed to. It also focuses on minimizing economic disparities. Because of this, the courts will decide who — if anyone — has to pay alimony based on the unique circumstances of the case.
“Can I Modify an Existing Divorce Order?”
Once a divorce is finalized, the parties involved often appreciate being able to move on with their lives. However, it’s not uncommon for situations to change after a divorce. If a significant change in circumstances has occurred since the finalization of your divorce, it’s possible that a Utah Family Law attorney may be able to help you seek a court order modification. This is normal for child support, alimony, and child custody orders.
