Divorce Steps in Utah

There are several steps in Utah concerning your divorce. The first step is to file a Complaint for Divorce. This will be filed with the courts in Salt Lake County if that is where your residence is. The next step would be for the other person to file an Answer to the Divorce Complaint. The Answer to the Divorce Complaint will also need to be filed in the court where the Divorce Complaint was filed. The next step is a motion for temporary orders. You will then have a hearing at the Salt Lake City Divorce Courts where custody, and money issues will be decided on a temporary basis. After temporary orders you will attend mediation concerning your divorce. This is a great opportunity in your Salt Lake City Divorce to find out the arguments of the other side. If mediation is not successful then Trial would be the next step in your divorce.
