Utah Residency Requirements For Divorce

The filing spouse must have been a resident of Utah and of the county where the divorce in Utah is filed for at least three months.

Grounds For Divorce In Utah

The no-fault grounds for divorce in Utah are:

• irreconcilable differences of the marriage;
• living separate and apart without cohabitation for three years under a judicial decree of separation (legal separation).

• adultery;
• conviction of a felony;
• impotence;
• willful desertion for one year;
• drunkenness;
• willful neglect.

If the petitioner and the respondent have a child or children, a decree of divorce may not be granted until both parties have attended the mandatory parenting education course and presented a certificate of completion to the court.

Utah Child Custody

The court may order joint legal Custody if it determines that it is in the best interests of the child and (a) both parents agree to an order of joint legal Custody; or (b) both parents appear capable of implementing joint legal Custody. Joint legal Custody affords each parent the right to be involved in the important decisions concerning the children. Joint legal Custody does not usually mean that the children will share their time equally between the parties.

Utah Child Support GuideLines

Utah has adopted child support guidelines which apply in virtually every case, unless special circumstances are present. The child support calculation takes into consideration the gross income of both parties, and certain child related expenses. Child support will continue until the child reaches the age of majority, and may be extended through his or her secondary education.

Mediation

In all Utah divorce proceedings in which there is a contested issue of child Custody or visitation the court shall, at the initial appearance, refer the parties to mediation and shall provide the parties with a list of approved mediators. Either party may file a motion requesting mediation of their disputed issues, if a divorce is pending. Prior to the initiation of divorce proceedings, the parties may choose to submit any or all of their issues to mediation so that they may proceed in court on an uncontested basis.
