3 Tips to Speed Up a Divorce in Utah



Statistics show that 8.2% of men and 10.2% of women in the state of Utah have been divorced. Getting divorced can be a stressful experience; therefore, it is wise to have a divorce attorney Utah on your side to help the process go as quickly as possible. At Wall & Wall Attorneys at Law PC, we can make your divorce proceedings as painless as possible. Here are 3 tips that we use to speed up a divorce in Utah.

Get the Waiting Period Waived

The courts in Utah are not favorable on divorces; therefore, the law states that there must be a 90-day waiting period before a divorce can be final. However, if a divorce attorney Utah can prove there are extraordinary circumstances, he might be able to convince the courts to disregard the 90-day period. These circumstances can be difficult to prove so Wall & Wall Attorneys at Law will work hard to provide evidence to the court that the circumstances, in this case, are unique.

Be Prepared

If we can get organized as quickly as possible, we can speed up the divorce. We will help you collect necessary financial documents and any other paperwork that can be beneficial in your divorce. Some things that will be useful include tax returns, pay stubs, investment accounts, and credit card statements. If you have everything ready when you meet with us, we can get the ball rolling as quickly as possible to speed up the divorce proceedings. Have your questions written down so we can help you understand how the process will work. If a child is involved, we need to discuss child support options or if you wish to gain full custody of the child. We will ask you numerous questions so we can understand the situation.

Be on good Terms with your Spouse

We realize that this is easier said than done; however, a divorce will go much smoother if you two can cooperate. Having said this, cooperation doesn’t mean giving your spouse everything he or she wants. If you can communicate effectively with your soon to be ex, things will go quicker. There are deadlines that need to be met and papers that need to be signed. If both parties involved will get things done as quickly as possible, your divorce can be finalized quicker.


When you get married, you expect it to be forever. However, sometimes, life happens and things do not work out like we planned. Divorce can be very painful, so you want it over as quickly as possible. If you need a divorce attorney Utah, contact Wall & Wall Attorneys at Law PC to assist you with your divorce. We will work hard to get your divorce finalized in a timely manner. Contact us today! You can then move on with your life and put this chapter in your life in the past.
