In Utah, you must reside in the county where you plan to file for divorce for at least 90 days (three months) before submitting your paperwork. Understanding the local requirements and procedures can make the process smoother and less stressful.

Divorces generally fall into 2 main types:

• Uncontested divorces – You and your spouse agree on all terms, including how to divide property, finances, and parenting. These cases tend to move more quickly and avoid lengthy court battles.
  
  
• Contested divorces – There are unresolved issues, and a judge may need to decide on things like custody, asset division, or alimony. These cases are more complex and often need detailed preparation and strategic representation.
