Frequently Asked Questions
Can I stay in the family home after the divorce?
This depends on several factors, including the value of the home, your ability to afford the mortgage and upkeep, and the overall division of assets. We can help you explore your options, which may include buying out your spouse’s interest or selling the home and dividing the proceeds.
Will I be entitled to a portion of my husband’s retirement?
In Utah, any portion of a retirement account that was earned during the marriage is considered marital property and is subject to equitable division. We can help you secure your fair share through a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO).
How can I protect myself if I have been a stay-at-home mom?
Utah law recognizes the non-financial contributions of a stay-at-home parent. We will build a strong case to show how your contributions to the family enabled your spouse’s career and argue for the alimony and assets you need to be financially secure.
