Utah Family Law Attorneys

Family law involves more than just divorce. Utah family law attorneys often work with clients to help protect their families and loved ones

Family Law – More Than Just Divorce

Family law touches on some of the most important and deeply personal matters that you may face as an individual or as a family. Facing these issues can be easier when you have the right attorney on your side.

Family law involves more than just divorce. Utah family law attorneys often work with clients to help protect their families and loved ones. A comprehensive family law practice can include helping clients navigate the legal maze of adoption, working to obtain a guardianship for an adult child with special needs, creating a complete estate plan to ensure that assets are passed efficiently and effectively to their intended beneficiaries, helping negotiate and create pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreements to potentially protect a clients interests in the event of a divorce, and much more.

We work closely with clients to ensure that we understand their goals, then work hard to protect their legal rights and interests.

Divorce Law in Utah

While a family law practice can involve many different aspects of family life, divorce is sometimes a reality that must be dealt with. Emotions often run high during the divorce process. Having a trusted attorney working with you can help you avoid costly and time-consuming mistakes. Protecting your children and ensuring that assets will be available to provide for them can be one of the most important (and one of the most hotly contested) issues in a divorce. Good legal counsel and strong advocacy in the courtroom are both important as you proceed through the complexities of Utah’s legal system.

Divorce is not easy. The legal processes and systems involved in a divorce are neither simple nor straightforward. Having the right attorney can be critical to successfully surviving.

    What is an expungement? An arrest or a criminal conviction can stay on a person’s record forever. An expungement can change that. An expungement is the official sealing of all court records, arrest records, and associated investigation and detention records. The current Utah Code, §77-40-108(2), allows a person who has received an expungement to “respond to any inquiry as though the arrest or conviction did not occur.” Additionally, expungement can restore firearm rights, open employment opportunities, and free a person from the legal restrictions accompanying a criminal conviction.

To find out if you qualify, the State has established a free and easy website where you can check to see if your criminal conviction has already been automatically expunged and/or when that might automatically happen.
