FAQ
Cohabitation is defined as two individuals that live together and are not married. According to the Utah Supreme Court case of Myers v. Myers, this is when two people are engaged in a romantic relationship and spend most or all of their time living together.
How property is divided in a divorce. Utah law requires an equitable division of marital property. Equitable means fair, which is not necessarily equal.For long-term marriages, equitable may mean a 50-50 split, or the court may decide that it is fair to give one party more or less than 50% of the property.
Only one spouse needs to file for a divorce. Utah is a no-fault divorce state, meaning divorce can be granted without proving who is guilty. Although, if there is serious fault by one spouse that evidence can be used to affect the ultimate judgment, such as in alimony awards or property divisions.
Is Utah a community property state? Utah is NOT a community property state, which means that marital property is not automatically divided 50/50 between the spouses in a divorce case.
Most state courts will automatically enter a divorce decree if the parties have been legally separated for a period of time, often one to two years, and meet the basic eligibility requirements.
Utah is a marital property state. Community property issues can arise in divorce proceedings and after the death of a spouse. When spouses divorce or die, spouses are often left with the daunting task of splitting up property and proceeds that were acquired during the marriage.
Couples seeking legal separation must resolve issues similar to that of divorce, including child custody and visitation, dividing up property and child support, and paying debts. A separation agreement is a legal binding contract signed by spouses, which is intended to resolve property, debt and child related issues.
Most trial separations run for about six months. If you're apart too much longer than that, your chances of ever getting back together diminish enormously.
One of the issues to be settled in a divorce is the division of property acquired during marriage. Utah law recognizes that both spouses contribute to the property acquired during the marriage, regardless of the income source.
