What Divorce Lawyers in Utah Are Not Telling You

Home » News » Page 2

Divorce lawyers in Utah are not telling you the whole truth about your divorce or custody case. We are all trained to not only be divorce lawyers, but also to sell. Divorce is a very personal thing, and many people are skeptical about using an attorney at all. What divorce lawyers in Utah are not telling you is that you are not obligated to use an attorney. Is it a good idea to do your divorce without an attorney? NO! It is a terrible idea to try and do your divorce or custody case without an attorney. But the truth is, you could if you wanted to.

With the economy gradually improving, I have also seen divorce lawyers raising their rates. They ask for retainers of $5000 or more! At Ammon Nelson Law, PLLC we serve divorce and custody clients from Ogden, Layton, Farmington, Bountiful, Syracuse, Clearfield, Salt Lake City area, and even in the Provo and Orem areas. The best part is, we don’t require a $5000 retainer, nor do we nickel and dime our clients until your divorce results in bankruptcy. We believe your divorce should be the first step toward a healthy and prosperous future for you and your children. If you have questions, or are looking for a divorce lawyer near me, call us today!

The holidays can be a magical time where families come together and enjoy the season in peace and happiness. We hope you all experience this magic this year!

Unfortunately, a stubborn or disruptive ex can put a damper on fun holiday visitation. Often parents are comfortable entering an agreement that Christmas and New Years visitation will be pursuant to the Utah Code Ann. 30-3-35.

However, once the holidays arrive parents can become extremely disruptive when they realize that this year the statute does not give them any part of the Christmas holiday. As a result, parents sometimes make the mistake of withholding the children or manipulating the children to get some holiday visitation on either Christmas or Christmas Eve.

These aggressive behaviors usually violate some part of the Divorce Decree or Custody Decree.

You do not have to put up with this type of inappropriate behavior. If your ex withheld the children or manipulated the children in a way to get visitation to which your ex was not entitled, you may have a claim.

If your ex violated your decree over the holidays, please call our office to set up a free consultation. We can discuss with you options for ensuring this time of behavior stops now!

I meet with people considering divorce all the time. Frequently they are terrified because their spouse has been bullying them. This is not a gender specific issue. In fact, it is not uncommon for men to come into my office just as afraid as women because their spouse is bullying them.  This is not ok.

One type of bullying consists of threats about the case. For example, a bullying spouse may threaten to keep the kids from the other spouse, kick the other person out of the house, stick the other spouse with all of the debt, drag out the divorce until everyone is broke, Etc.

These threats are empty. The law in Utah protects parties in that it attempts to make an equal division of all assets and debts, and it creates a mechanism so that children have access to both parents so long as it is safe for the children. Having a trained attorney who is knowledgeable about divorce law and confident in the courtroom can protect you from the empty threats of a spouse.

Another type of bullying is more serious and requires immediate action. Sometimes I meet with people who have been physically abused, or their spouse has threatened to physically harm them. This type of bullying is not ok, and requires immediate steps to protect you and your children.  The best way to handle these situations is on a case by case basis. Some tools to consider are a protective order, police intervention, or a restraining order inside of your divorce. These tools often need to be used tactfully and strategically to protect you. If you are suffering from an abusive spouse, don’t sign an unfair agreement thinking it will stop the abuse. Call a knowledgeable and confident attorney to help you get the protection you need.

Many times people will come in to my office after they have signed an unfair decree. They sign because they are afraid of their spouse, but later realize that they shouldn’t have signed because the bullying spouse has not changed. It is much more difficult to undo a bad agreement, than it is to get a better agreement the first time.

At Ammon Nelson Law, our team of attorneys is knowledgeable about divorce law (we focus our practice entirely on helping families). We are also confident in the courtroom having logged hundreds of hours arguing in front of the local judges.

For a free case evaluation, call our office today. We will ensure you receive a detailed action plan and answers to all of your questions.
