FAQ
Under the Utah Government Records Access and Management Act, divorce records are private documents that are inaccessible by the general public. However, limited parts of these records may be available to the public, as court records.
Property is divided by the Utah courts during a divorce. Divorce laws in Utah state that marital property should be divided equitably. This means that a Utah court could decide that it is fair to split the marital property 50-50, or they may decide that one party deserves more than 50% of the property.
With that said, the general rule, even for short-term marriages, is 50/50 division. However, in some very short-term marriages, the courts may put spouses back into the financial position they were in before the marriage – that is, each spouse gets the asset that belonged to him/her at the beginning of the marriage.
Read the complaint and decide what to do. Read the complaint. You may agree with some, all, or none of the complaint. Write down next to each paragraph in the complaint whether you agree or disagree with what that paragraph says. If you agree with everything your spouse is asking for, you may not need to file anything.
Utah law does not require a marriage be “long term” before a court can award alimony. Rather length of the marriage is but one of many factors the court considers in deciding whether to award alimony (and if so how long and the amount).
Oftentimes a party responding to a divorce complaint with an answer will file a counterclaim as well. The counterclaim provides the responding party an opportunity to make their own allegations about the reason for the divorce and a chance to tell the court what they are asking for.
Most court records can be viewed by anyone. However, starting April 1, 2012, divorce records are private.
File a motion for default judgment. If you are unable to reach an agreement with your spouse, you can file a motion for default judgment with the court. This will ask the court to enter a default judgment against your spouse without hearing from them. Hire a local attorney.
