Frequently Asked Questions
Will the court automatically give custody to the mother?
No. Utah courts are required to make custody decisions based on the best interests of the child, without a preference for either parent. We will build a case to show that you are a capable and loving parent who should have a significant role in your children’s lives.
Am I automatically going to have to pay alimony?
Not necessarily. Alimony is determined based on a number of factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, and the standard of living during the marriage. We will advocate for a fair outcome based on the specific facts of your case.
How can I protect my business in a divorce?
Protecting your business requires careful planning and a thorough valuation. We can help you explore options such as a buy-out, a structured payment plan, or other arrangements to protect your business interests while ensuring a fair settlement for your spouse.
