We know that divorce is not just about paperwork. It is about starting over. Our team helps you make sound decisions that protect your finances, your family, and your peace of mind.

For disillusioned marriages in the Ogden area, it is important to understand how the law in our state defines divorce. To get divorced in Utah you or your spouse must reside in a single county in Utah for at least three months immediately before filing the divorce petition. Utah Code Section 81-4-402. If custody of a minor child is an issue, usually the child must reside with at least one of the parents in Utah for at least six months, but there are exceptions.

Divorce can drastically affect your finances. Utah courts aim for fairness, but understanding how spousal support (alimony) works is key to protecting your future. Our attorneys evaluate income, lifestyle, and contribution factors to ensure fair outcomes whether you are seeking support or defending against excessive claims.

If an individual is unable to keep up with child support payments, it is imperative to hire a lawyer with experience in child support cases to assist in reducing the monthly payment. A substantial change in circumstances is required by the court to support the reduction in payment. Increase in monthly expenses related to job loss or health issues are normally deemed life-altering changes that do meet the requirements.

Prenups are not about expecting divorce. They are about clarity and fairness. Our firm drafts and reviews prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that protect your assets, define expectations, and reduce future conflict.
