you didn't state your question. If you caused the wreck and the car is going to your wife, you need to speak with your lawyer if you do not have comprehensive coverage that will pay for the damage to the vehicle.Talk to your divorce lawyer about that end of it.
The divorce decree states that she had 90 days from april 30 2008 to get a appraisal and he has 30 days and neither of them have done this. She she was the equity in the house that wehave been paying for for 12 years.

Your question is going to be fact intensive. I don't think I have enough information here to fully answer your question. The terms of your decree will likely govern. However, there may have to be some adjustments based upon a 12 year delay. I would recommend taking a copy of your divorce... View More
This is for an order on order to show cause. My incorrectly spelled maiden name is also on it (and everything was filed with my married name). The certificate of service also does not have an address on it or my ex’s signature. This is in Utah.

Generally a court order will have an electronic signature stamp at the top right corner. If you have a question about whether or not it is valid, your best bet would be to call the Court to confirm. You could also do a consultation with an attorney who could check the docket online to give you... View More

I’m sorry that you are going through these problems with your daughter. Any time you are dealing with custody issues, I suggest having an attorney. The initial decision is crucial and you want to make sure it is done right. It is always harder to change down the road.

The holiday schedule for Christmas and that statute will not overlap. The Christmas parent-time schedule includes the entire time the kids are off school. The statute you cite would apply to days without school that fall outside the designated holiday parent-time but are connected to it.... View More

You should contact an experienced attorney about this issue. You will want someone to review both the Decree of Divorce and the Protective Order and advise you on how those 2 orders interact. Without seeing both orders, it is impossible to tell you what you can and cannot do moving forward.

Alimony is not a black and white area of the law. Alimony is generally based upon the needs of the receiving spouse and the paying spouse's ability to pay. If you are fighting for or against alimony, I recommend having an attorney on your side.

In Utah a divorce can be granted on the grounds or irreconcilable differences (no fault) or various fault based grounds. The statute for the "no fault" divorce is Utah Code section 30-3-1(3)(h).
answered on Dec 16, 2019
The answer to this question is very fact dependent. The cost of trial will depend largely upon the numbers of exhibits, numbers of witnesses, and issues in your particular case. I recommend talking with attorneys well in advance of trial as you will also need to ensure that pretrial disclosures are... View More

My husband has anger issues, pornographery issues w/cross dressing. Is it possible for me to file for a legal separation and somehow demand that he complete therapy before having overnight visits with our kids? Also, since I make more money, do I have to pay him?
answered on Sep 24, 2018
Generally speaking, those who choose legal separation instead of divorce is usually based on religious beliefs, a desire to keep the family together legally for the sake of children, or the need for one spouse to keep the health insurance benefits that would be lost with a divorce.

My ex husband is saying he is going to file an order to show cause if I do not cahange my name. Dose he have grounds to do so ?
answered on Jan 23, 2018
That's ridiculous, unless you're abusing his name by doing something that causes him irreparable harm, orders to show cause are for emergent relief only. He may however file a motion to enforce the judgment. You should contact an attorney for a free consultation.
He lives with me and so it is pretty hard for me not to be around them
answered on Oct 18, 2017
Legally, it will depend on the terms of the court orders. Generally, a former spouse cannot control who the other former spouse allows to be around the children, but it depends on what your boyfriend may agree to as divorce settlement. Unless you are an ax murderer, drug abuser, child abuser,... View More

If you have a judgment for the child support in California, you can enforce it in Utah. You will need a Utah attorney to help you collect that debt.
Person files for divorce and serves them, spouse after has a lawyer serves him divorce papers under a different case that show filing after. Both cases show different petitioners. Who is the petitioner and who is the defendant as well as which case will the court or judge look at?
answered on May 3, 2017
In this situation, the two cases should be consolidated with the court and the party to file first should be the petitioner. A motion to consolidate the cases should be filed in both cases. If you feel like you require additional help with this, you should contact an attorney to help you.
