There are many personal and economic factors to consider when pursuing your divorce. We can help advise you concerning all the economic implications of your divorce, from asset division to the settlement of marital debts. If you own a small business, we can help you divide the assets in a way that allows your business to continue to generate revenue. Property and debt division can often be adjusted to make certain both parties are treated fairly and equitably. The sooner you call an experienced attorney, the sooner you can protect your rights and interests.
Child Custody
When you are going through a divorce, nothing matters more than the future of your children. You want to provide them with the most stable home environment possible, so we will help you understand the system and make sure both your rights and the rights of your children are protected. Child custody is determined based on a number of factors, including your children's primary care provider and the ability of each parent to provide a stable and supportive home environment. Visitation/parent time is important for both the custodial and non-custodial parent to understand. Children have the right to have a relationship with both of their divorcing parents.
Child Support and Alimony
Every divorce has a serious economic impact on the parties involved. You want to make sure your own future is secured, as well as the future of your family. In Utah, child support is based on a Uniform Child Support Table provided by the legislature. The table itself is based on the gross annual income of both parents. Alimony or spousal support is a more subjective system. If alimony is awarded, it is based on the need for support, the ability to provide, the length of the marriage, and the standard of living both parties grew accustomed to during the marriage.
