The Utah Application of Dissolution is a legal document filed with the court in order to dissolve a marriage. It is used to terminate a marriage legally in the state of Utah. There are two types of Utah Applications of Dissolution: an Uncontested Dissolution and a Contested Dissolution. An Uncontested Dissolution is a divorce in which both parties have agreed to settle all issues regarding property division, child custody, alimony, and other matters related to the marriage. The parties must complete and sign a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) and file it along with the Application of Dissolution with the court. A Contested Dissolution is a divorce in which the parties are unable to agree on settlement terms. In this case, both parties must attend a hearing before the court in order to resolve the issues. An Application of Dissolution must still be filed with the court, as well as other documents such as a Financial Affidavit and a Parenting Plan. The Utah Application of Dissolution is the first step in the process of legally dissolving a marriage. It is important for both parties to understand their rights and obligations under the law, as well as any applicable deadlines, before filing.
