The result? You get the same quality filings—reviewed and approved by a licensed Utah attorney—at significantly less than traditional firms charge. Technology doesn't replace the attorney. It makes the attorney dramatically more efficient.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Utah divorce, decree enforcement, and modification.

What's the difference between drafting, enforcing, and modifying a decree?

+
Drafting creates your divorce decree in the first place (an uncontested divorce where both spouses agree). Enforcing compels an ex-spouse to follow a decree that already exists. Modifying changes the terms of an existing decree when circumstances have substantially changed. We handle all three.

How is this different from hiring a regular attorney?

+
Traditional attorneys bill hourly ($200–$350/hr), and a typical contested family law matter can run thousands of dollars. We use AI-powered document automation to handle the time-intensive drafting work, allowing our attorneys to focus on legal strategy and review. This lets us offer flat-fee pricing—same quality filings, dramatically lower cost. Every document is still reviewed and approved by a licensed Utah attorney.

What does an uncontested divorce require in Utah?

+
An uncontested divorce is one where you and your spouse agree on all terms—property, debts, custody, parent-time, and support. Utah requires that one spouse has been a resident for at least 90 days, and there is a mandatory 30-day waiting period before a decree can be finalized (which the court can waive for good cause). We prepare every document the court needs and guide you through the timeline.

When can I modify my divorce decree?

+
Utah allows modification of custody, parent-time, child support, or alimony when there has been a substantial and material change in circumstances since the decree was entered— for example, a significant change in income, a relocation, or a change in a child's needs. We assess whether your situation likely meets that standard before you spend money on a petition.

What is a Motion to Enforce Order?

+
A Motion to Enforce Order asks the court to compel your ex-spouse to comply with the terms of your divorce decree. Prior to May 2021, this was known as an "Order to Show Cause." If the court finds your ex knowingly and intentionally violated the order while having the ability to comply, they can be held in contempt—which may result in fines, jail time, or other remedies.

Do you serve all of Utah?

+
Yes. We serve clients in all Utah counties. Because our model is document-driven and remote-friendly, we can prepare your filings no matter which Utah district court your case belongs in.

Do I really need an attorney for these matters?

+
You can file family law documents on your own (pro se). However, each of these matters has specific legal requirements, and mistakes can cost you time, money, or rights. Attorney-reviewed documents are more likely to be correct and complete, which keeps your case moving and improves your chances of the outcome you want.
