Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce in Utah
Our divorce attorney in Salt Lake City is well-equipped to guide you through various strategies for resolving your divorce. Whether you are dealing with a "contested" or "uncontested" divorce, we have the expertise to handle both situations.
In a contested divorce, conflicts and disagreements arise between spouses that cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation. In such cases, the divorce must proceed to litigation, requiring a trial to address the unresolved issues.
You Matter — Your Case Is Personal to Me
Ever felt like your family problems have fallen upon deaf ears? Feel like your attorney is there, but not listening? Nothing disturbs me more than having conversations with people who seem like they’re mentally floating in some galaxy far, far away instead of paying attention to matters at hand.
I’m educated. I’m a people person. Understanding that every family man and woman walking through the door will have problems indicative of their future parenting or marriages is my job. I do not take cases and “categorize” them; instead, each individual seeking my legal expertise opens a new chapter in my personal practice. An attorney cannot know and understand a client without having walked in their shoes. I’ve walked in your shoes many, many times.
Fearless. Determined. Effective.
That’s the representation you want,
so that’s what I deliver.

Can I modify my existing child custody or support orders?
Under Utah law, child custody, child support, and spousal support or alimony, orders can only be modified when there has been a significant change in circumstances. If you or your ex is making considerably more or less income, or your child’s medical or educational needs have changed, you may be able to modify child support or alimony orders. If children start spending more time with one parent, proposed relocations or dangerous living situations arise, custody may be modified.

I am a stay at home parent, how can I maintain my lifestyle?
During a divorce, the resources that once supported one household must now support two. Maintaining your lifestyle – especially as a stay at home parent – may be difficult. The best way to ensure you get the resources you need is to work with an experienced divorce lawyer. I will do everything in my power to ensure you get the assets, child support, and alimony you need to leave your marriage in the most financially secure manner possible.

How do I prove I am the father of my child?
If you are an unmarried father, you may need to petition the court for a legal determination of paternity before you have a right to seek custody or visitation. If the mother contests your claim, DNA tests may be ordered.
