How Long Does It Take To Get Divorced in Utah?

If you are looking to divorce in Utah, you may be
wondering about the states laws and regulations
concerning the divorce process. One thing you may
be worried about is the length of the divorce
process. The best way to learn everything you
need to know about getting divorced in Utah is to
schedule a consultation with a Salt Lake City
Divorce Attorney. She will carefully consider
your situation and your marriage, and give you an
answer based on the complexity of everything
involved.

However, there are some general factors that may
affect the length of a divorce. These are
Is divorce contested or uncontested?
Are you able to waive the minimum waiting period?
Do you have children (minors)?
Did your spouse file an appeal after the divorce?
Each of these factors could prolong the duration
of your divorce.

Contested Vs. Uncontested Divorce
In normal situations, most couples want to go for
an uncontested divorce and get it over with. Of
course, this is usually harder than it seems as
the two may find it difficult to agree on
everything. Yes, everything has to be resolved
before the marriage can be settled. These things
involve
Child support
Spousal support
Alimony
Asset division

Uncontested divorce usually lasts between 90 and
180 days. It is quick to settle and requires
little to no help from other factors (mediation,
counselling). On the other hand, contested
marriages take significantly more time to settle,
and are usually more complicated. They require
mediation, counselling and the litigation process
which is extremely complicated and long. Be
prepared for 6 to 18 months of waiting before you
are free again.

Children Are A Great Factor
If you and your spouse are not able to create a
parental plan, one that will benefit both of you
(and the chances are that you wont be able to),
things get complicated and it is the court who
has to decide who gets the custody of the
children. Again, this is another very complicated
and exhausting process which requires time. Once
everything is taken into consideration (the main
focus is the childs wellbeing and what is best
for the child), a decision will be made and a
parent will be assigned with custody.

Appeals
There could be additional appeals made by your
spouse. Keep in mind that every appeal can be
done within 30 days, and each provides the other
party with 30 days to reply. This can go on and
on several times, adding up to 1 additional month
to the total length of the divorce. In general,
the shortest time to divorce is 90 days and the
longest period is usually around 18 months.
Again, it all depends on your marriage and other
factors surrounding it.
