Utah Divorce.

Utah divorce, you must at least live in Utah for up to 3 months after being married to file for a divorce, and a resident of the county for 3 months to file for divorce, so if you have lived in Utah even a couple years and then move to a different county, you must live there for at least 3 months before filing for divorce, you must also file for divorce in the county that you live in.  Now unless you are in the armed forces that are stationed Utah at the time, then you can file for divorce even after being stationed there for a few days.  In Utah there is a ninety day waiting time after the divorce is filed, before the divorce will ever be granted.  In this time you can also speak with marriage counselors to see if the marriage can be saved and not result in divorce.  In Utah there are no fault grounds for divorce, and other grounds that I will show you a list of for divorce in Utah.  Here is a list of the no fault grounds for divorce.
  1. If the spouses can no longer get along, and the marriage is past fixing also referred to as irreconcilable differences, a divorce can proceed.
  2. If the spouses have lived apart for at least 3 years under a legal separation, a divorce can proceed.
 Here are other grounds for divorce in Utah.
  1. If either of the spouses have had an affair and cheated also referred to as adultery, a divorce can proceed.
  2. If there is impotence in the marriage, a divorce can proceed.
  3. If either of the spouses are convicted of a felony, a divorce can proceed.
  4. If either of the spouses have been left and deserted for up to a year and has proof that their spouse deserted them, then a divorce can proceed.
  5. Severe abuse and cruel treatment, along with neglect, a divorce can proceed.
  6. Drug or alcohol abuse, along with treatment failing, a divorce can proceed.
  7. If either of the spouses have extreme mental problems, which is incurable insanity, a divorce can proceed.
 Now remember you must be able to have proof and show any of these grounds for divorce. The divorce process in Utah starts when either of the spouses files for a divorce in the district court; this is also referred to as a complaint.  Remember there is a 90 day waiting period after your spouse has been served and given a reasonable amount of time to respond to the divorce papers in Utah.  As in most states if all property division, debt dividing, child support and child custody is agreed upon the divorce can be finalized without a trial.  If there is any arguments to any of these points then a divorce trial date will be set.
