FAQs

Can I Receive Child Support and Alimony Before Divorce is Final?

The short answer is: Yes. The court will look at the financial situation of both parties and may issue a temporary order that includes child support and alimony. This may be modified or terminated in the final divorce decree.

Can Gay Couples Adopt in Utah?

In 2013, same-sex marriage became legal in Utah and gay couples enjoy the same rights, privileges and responsibilities as heterosexual couples. Same-sex couples must be over 18 years old and pass the same adoption scrutiny as others. The process can be rigorous and the courts place the best interests of the child before the wishes of potential adoptive parents.

How often do you litigate versus settle or negotiate your cases?

Using mediation and/or a parenting coordinator early in a case MAY eliminate issues, especially financial issues, or custody where there is not a great divide in positions. Keep in mind that custody of children is usually the biggest stumbling block to an early settlement because parents tend to dig in their heels on this issue, and it takes something significant to get them to budge.
