Utah Divorce Lawyer
Salt Lake City Family Law Attorney
In Utah, a divorce terminates the marriage. The divorce decree that is entered by a judge defines your rights and responsibilities related to your family. A divorce decree may include provisions with regard to child support, child custody, spousal support, property division, division of debts, the marital home, taxes, and more.
A decree of divorce is granted by a judge after the parties have filed all of the necessary paperwork with the court, have attended all necessary hearings and other appearances, and all other statutory requirements have been fulfilled.
A divorce in Utah is different from a legal separation. A divorce terminates the marriage. A legal separation does not legally terminate the marriage. For more information on separate maintenance please see our page on this website dedicated to information on legal separation in Utah.
There is no legal way to prevent a spouse from obtaining a divorce in Utah. If one spouse wants a divorce and the other does not, the court will still enter a divorce decree. The parties do not have to be in agreement on the decision to divorce.
