Qualifying for an Uncontested Divorce in Utah

The qualifications for an uncontested divorce include:

Residency: You or your spouse must have been a resident of Utah and the filing county for at least three months.
Grounds for divorce: For an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse must agree that irreconcilable differences are the grounds for the divorce.
Terms of divorce: You and your spouse must reach a consensus about the terms of your divorce, including asset division, child custody and support, and alimony, among others.

Filing for an Uncontested Divorce

You and your spouse must complete various forms to initiate and finalize your divorce. One of you must file a petition, and the other must submit a form that waives the right to respond to the petition and consents to the divorce. Additionally, you will submit a settlement agreement. If you have children, you must submit forms that detail your child support and custody arrangement, parenting plan, and visitation schedule.

You should file all these forms in the county court where you or your spouse reside.

How Long Do Uncontested Divorces in Utah Take?

Utah courts require couples to finalize it 30 days after filing for divorce. This is the shortest amount of time the divorce process could take. Complications with filing could extend this period. The same is true if a judge decides there is a need for a hearing to settle an aspect of the settlement agreement.

Medicaid and Divorce

However, you can strategically divide assets in a divorce, ensuring you or your spouse can receive the necessary benefits. Additionally, this process can prevent long-term care costs from impacting the value of your estate and potentially putting a financial strain on your spouse or loved ones.
