Divorce Law

A Utah divorce isn’t one filing; it’s a sequence: a petition, financial disclosures on a deadline, at least one mediation session in most contested cases, and a decree at the end. Knowing that sequence up front is what actually makes the process less overwhelming. I’ll walk you through each step as it comes up, from the first filing to the final signature.

Utah's Divorce Laws
Utah’s divorce statutes were renumbered from Title 30 into Title 81 in September 2024 — if you’ve read an older guide citing “Title 30,” the substance carried over, just under a new number. A few practical markers worth knowing early: both spouses must exchange financial declarations early in the case, most contested divorces require at least one mediation session before trial, and an uncontested case can often resolve in a few months while a contested one more commonly takes six months to a year in Davis County. Utah Code Title 81, Chapter 4.
