Our Law Firm Handles All Types of Family Law and Divorce Cases in South Jordan
We are a family and divorce firm that takes on all types of cases in South Jordan. No matter what situation you find yourself in, you need a lawyer who has the skills and experience to protect your rights and your interests. At CoilLaw, we know that a one-size-fits-all approach is not good enough in family cases. Our firm invests time, attention, and resources. Family law issues encompass much more than divorce. In addition to divorces, our firm handles the following family law issues:
- Uncontested Divorce: An uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses agree on all major issues, such as property division, child custody, and support. In other words, it is a settled divorce. The process is typically faster and less expensive.
- Contested Divorce: Unfortunately, not all divorces can be settled. A contested divorce happens when spouses cannot agree on key terms. A court must resolve the disputes. Our trial-tested South Jordan divorce lawyers have extensive contested divorce experience.
- Spousal Support: Spousal support (alimony) is financial assistance one spouse may be required to pay the other after a divorce. In Utah, spousal support is always awarded on a case-by-case basis.
- Property Division: Utah follows equitable distribution for property division in divorce. Broadly explained, that means marital property is divided fairly. It could be a 50/50 split—but that is not required as a matter of law.
- Child Custody: Child custody in Utah is based on the best interests of the child and may include joint or sole custody arrangements. Our South Jordan family lawyers represent parents in all types of child support cases, including high-conflict disputes.
- Child Support: Child support is financial assistance paid by one parent to help cover the child’s living expenses. In Utah, child support is calculated based on both parents’ income.
- Adoption: Are you considering adopting a child? It can be a complicated, paperwork-intensive process. Our South Jordan family lawyers can help.
- Annulments: An annulment legally declares a marriage invalid as if it never happened. In Utah, an annulment is possible—but only for specific reasons, such as fraud or bigamy.
- DCFS Actions: The Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) investigates child abuse and neglect claims in Utah. If necessary, DCFS can remove children from unsafe homes. We help parents and families in South Jordan navigate DCFS actions.
- Prenups and Postnups: Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are legal contracts outlining how assets and finances will be handled before or after marriage. Agreements are enforceable as long as they are properly drafted.
- Paternity Suits: Paternity suits establish a child’s legal father, often for child support, custody, or inheritance rights. When deemed appropriate and necessary, a Utah court may order DNA testing to determine biological parentage of a child.
