Family Law Issues in South Jordan
Our family law firm has extensive experience with all types of family law cases.
Our family law attorneys in South Jordan frequently handle:
- Uncontested Divorce: A relatively fast and easy process in which you and your spouse have already come to an agreement on all divorce issues. The divorce agreement can then be drafted for approval by the court.
- Contested Divorce: The issues in a divorce are often complex and emotionally charged. In a contested divorce, having the right attorney is essential. Utah requires most couples to undergo mandatory mediation before presenting their case to a judge. During mediation, we can negotiate crucial issues such as property and debt division, alimony, child support, and child custody with the goal of resolving your divorce without the need for courtroom litigation.
What factors are considered in child custody cases?
In child custody cases, the court considers various factors such as the child's best interests, the parents' ability to provide for the child's physical and emotional needs, any history of abuse or neglect, and the child's preference (depending on their age and maturity).
Can grandparents get custody of their grandchildren?
In certain circumstances, grandparents may be able to obtain custody of their grandchildren. However, they would need to demonstrate that it is in the best interests of the child and that the parents are unfit or unable to care for the child.
- Parenting Plans: A carefully drafted parenting plan plays an essential role in preventing future conflicts between parents as well as additional time and money for enforcement and/or modifications. Parenting plans are usually worked out between the parents while focusing on the best interests of their children. Any details that cannot be agreed upon will be decided by the judge.
- Adoption: We take pride in creating new family bonds and helping people obtain the dream of parenthood.
- Prenuptial Agreements: These agreements enable future spouses to make important financial decisions now and hopefully avoid unsatisfactory consequences later. They are not only important in the event of a divorce but also the death of either spouse. Prenups help to resolve disputes before they arise.
