Utah Divorce

Our firm has built a reputation as a firm with a deep bench of talented Summit County divorce lawyers. Choosing to end a marriage is never easy, and there are many legal considerations. Our firm distinguishes itself through our advocacy on behalf of clients, which happens both inside and outside the courtroom.

Divorce does not have to be contested. Couples can decide critical issues between themselves:

• Child custody—You can divide legal and physical custody as you see fit.
• Alimony/spousal support—One spouse can agree to make payments for the duration of the divorce and even for years after the divorce is finalized.
• Child support—Each parent should support their children, and Utah has created guidelines which look at many factors.
• Division of marital assets—A couple must divide the assets they obtained while married, regardless of whose name is on the title.

When spouses can’t agree on any of these issues, they have a contested divorce. Call us. We can participate in mediation with you or negotiate with your spouse’s legal team. Sometimes, our clients have no choice but to go to a hearing and ask a judge to decide a legal issue in their favor. We have represented countless men and women in hearings across the state.

Enforcing or Modifying Divorce Decrees

Fontenot Law, P.C., can also help with enforcement or modification of divorce decrees. For example, your ex might prevent you from seeing your children in violation of the custody arrangement. We can seek to involve the court and possibly seek contempt.

We can also seek modification of an order. Life never stays the same, and your child custody or child support arrangement might also need to change to account for shifting circumstances. Call us to discuss.
