Our South Jordan family law attorneys help spouses in various divorce scenarios. A spouse seeking to end their marriage must file a petition to begin the process of obtaining a divorce decree from a state court. To file a divorce, Utah Code Ann. § 81-4-402 requires that either spouse was a resident within the state for a minimum of six months.
After the petitioner serves their spouse with divorce papers, the respondent will have the chance to file an answer. The respondent can simply agree with the terms of the divorce petition or choose to contest the proceeding.
The divorce process can vary greatly depending on whether the proceeding is uncontested or contested. Aside from the grounds, a contested divorce can also involve disputes over matters such as marital property, alimony, child custody, and child support.
As a general rule, you must wait at least 30 days between filing a divorce petition and obtaining a divorce decree. The state also requires that couples attend mandatory mediation after filing a divorce petition.
Courts make custody and parenting time decisions based on what is in the best interest of the child. According to Utah Code Ann. § 81-9-204, the court will consider factors such as:
For disputes regarding child custody or visitation, any of our qualified family law attorneys in South Jordan could provide legal advice regarding what factors a court will potentially consider.
