Utah law requires an equitable division of marital property. Equitable means fair, which is not necessarily equal. If the parties agree as part of the divorce or annulment how to divide their property, the judge must review the agreement to be sure that it is fair.
You will be entitled to one half of all property ``acquired during the marriage''. Things like the 401K would be determined by virtue of the amount, within that account, earned during the marriage.
So, the takeaway here is that the court has the discretion to determine what a short-term marriage is and whether to grant alimony, but the cut-off is somewhere around 5-8 years or so. Our experience is that a spouse in a marriage lasting less than five years will not typically be granted alimony at trial.
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.
As the parties agree, but if they can't agree, the judge will apply this formula (sometimes called the Woodward formula): multiply one-half of the value of the account by the number of years the parties were married and divide by the number of years the employee has worked.
Utah is an ``equitable distribution'' state, which basically means that marital assets are split up equitably in a divorce. That does not mean that everyone gets half of everything. Rather, everything is put into a ``pot'' of sorts, and divvied up equitably.
