We Handle the Full Range of Family Law Cases in Herriman, Utah

At CoilLaw, LLC, we understand the sensitive nature of family law issues. When we work with family law clients, we always keep this in mind and work with the court system to create fair divorce settlements and child custody arrangements that promote healthy, substantial relationships between children and their parents for years to come. Our firm’s motto is aggressive litigation gets to fair and quick settlements. No matter the specific type of family law issue you are facing, we are prepared to invest the time, resources, and attention to detail to help you find the best path forward. Our firm handles the following types of family law cases:

Prenuptial/Postnuptial Agreements: Prenups and postnups are marital agreements that outline how assets, debts, and financial matters will be handled during marriage or in the event of divorce. In Utah, these agreements are enforceable as long as they are voluntarily signed and meet all of the state’s legal standards. Our Herriman family lawyers draft, review, negotiate, and litigate prenups and postnups. We are here to protect your rights.
Divorce: Divorce is the legal process of dissolving a marriage and addressing related matters such as property division, custody, and support. Utah law allows both no-fault and fault-based divorce grounds. Most divorces in Salt Lake County are settled (uncontested divorce). However, some cases do go to trial (contested divorce). Our Herriman divorce lawyers have experience with both contested and uncontested divorces in Utah.
Spousal Support: Spousal support (alimony) may be awarded when one spouse needs financial assistance after divorce. In Utah, courts determine spousal support based on factors like income, earning capacity, and length of the marriage. Whether you are seeking alimony or you may be required to pay alimony, our Herriman, UT family and divorce attorney can help to protect your rights and your interests.
Property Division: Dividing up the property is one of the most challenging—and often most contentious—aspects of a divorce in Utah. Our state uses an equitable distribution standard to divide marital property during divorce. A divorcing couple’s marital property will be divided fairly, but that does not necessarily mean equally. If you have any questions about property division, our Herriman divorce lawyers are here to help.
Child Support: Following a divorce or a separation, parents of young kids or teenagers will need to work out provisions for child support. Child support ensures children receive financial support from both parents after a separation or divorce. Notably, Utah follows a statutory formula that considers both parents’ income and the custody arrangement. Our Herriman, UT, family lawyers handle the full range of child support cases in Salt Lake County.
Child Custody: Utah follows the best interests of the child standard for custody and visitation. Parents may share custody, or one parent may be awarded sole custody. We represent clients in all custody matters, including parenting plans, relocations, and high-conflict disputes. If you have any questions about child custody law, our Herriman, UT family lawyers are more than ready to help.
Adoption: Adoption is the legal process of establishing a permanent parent-child relationship. Adoptions include private, step-parent, agency, and foster care placements.
DCFS Actions: The Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) investigates allegations of child abuse or neglect and may initiate protective proceedings. These cases can result in the removal of children from the home or the termination of parental rights. Our Herriman, UT family law attorneys represent parents in all stages of DCFS involvement—from investigations to hearings to appeals. Contact us today for help with a DCFS case in Salt Lake County.
Annulments: An annulment is not the same thing as a divorce. In Utah, it declares that a marriage was never valid in the first place. However, you cannot get any marriage annulled. Instead, Utah grants annulments only for specific reasons such as fraud, bigamy, or incapacity to consent. If you have questions about your options, our Herriman family lawyers can evaluate your case to determine whether you meet the grounds for annulment.
Domestic Partnerships: Domestic partnerships provide some legal recognition and benefits to unmarried couples. These arrangements can involve rights related to important things like property, healthcare decisions, and inheritance. Our Herriman family firm drafts and formalizes domestic partnership agreements that reflect each partner’s intentions.
Domestic Litigation: Domestic litigation covers contested family matters such as divorce, custody, support, and protective orders. As with any family law issue, these cases are often emotional and can have a big impact on family relationships and finances. Our trial-tested Herriman family lawyers are skilled in both negotiation and advocacy in the courtroom.
Paternity Suits: In Utah, paternity is the basis of a man’s rights and responsibilities as a father. Paternity suits legally establish the identity of a child’s father, which may be necessary for custody, support, or inheritance purposes. Utah courts may order DNA testing when parentage is disputed. We help mothers and fathers navigate the full range of paternity cases in Herriman. No matter your situation, we are here to help.

Many of these issues are extremely fact-specific and require significant legal training to navigate correctly and to help ensure a beneficial outcome. As such, if you are facing any of the issues listed above or any other family law-related issue in Herriman, Utah, do not hesitate to reach out to a skilled family law attorney at our office for help. Our lawyers have years of experience assisting clients in the area with their family law needs.
