Before filing for divorce in Utah, you must meet the state’s residency requirements. These rules ensure that Utah courts have jurisdiction over your case. Here’s what you need to know:
Residency:
At least one spouse must have lived in Utah for a minimum of three months immediately before filing for divorce, unless both parties stipulate. If you have minor children, additional requirements apply.
Residency with Children:
If you and your spouse have minor children together, the children must have lived in Utah for at least six months before the court can address custody and parenting time. This ensures that Utah is considered the children’s “home state” under custody laws.
County-Specific Filing:
You must file for divorce in the district court of the county where either you or your spouse resides. For example, if you live in Cedar City, your case would typically be filed in the Fifth Judicial District Court in Iron County.
Meeting the residency requirements is a crucial first step in filing for divorce in Utah. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, contact Weekes Law for a free consultation. We’ll help you navigate the process and ensure your case is filed in the correct court.
