Uncontested Utah Divorce

Ending a marriage is a challenging process, even when both partners agree it's necessary. However, some divorces are less complex, and an uncontested divorce is often one of the simpler and more cost-effective ways to end a marriage.

As the name suggests, uncontested divorce means that you and your spouse aren’t fighting about divorce-related matters. It is a preferred option for couples in short marriages without children or substantial assets, but even those in longer marriages with children or significant assets can opt for this approach.
