Reviews From Past Clients

“Wow, there’s so much I have to say about Cordell & Cordell. I walked in with tears in my eyes hopeless because everything was taken a way from me. Father of 7 children that was told there’s no hope for the fathers now days. Cordell & Cordell welcomed me in their hands and proved everyone wrong. They were there for me and my children until the end.”

– Izet K.

“It took years for me to come to a decision to end my marriage. I sought a law firm that is focused and prepared for trial if need be, and seeks to give me the best outcome possible. Cordell and Cordell has performed very well and is very supportive during this difficult time. I have full confidence in my representation and recommend them.”

I am very grateful to have had such amazing representation in the most important court case of my life! Thank you!”

– Amanda H

“Divorce is hard enough without trying to find a Lawyer who will truly work for you. I had several conversations with Lawyers that seemed only interested in winning somehow. No one wins in a divorce. I should have went to Cordell & Cordell first so I would have avoided a lot of headaches. I met a group of people that genuinely care for you.”

– Mark L.

    Midvale, UT Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the grounds for filing for divorce in Utah?

    Utah is considered a “no fault” state. This means that you do not need the consent of your spouse to obtain a divorce, nor are the reasons why you want a divorce considered in granting the divorce. In Utah, the courts can enter a divorce decree upon showing that:

    • One of the parties has lived in the state and county for three months prior to the commencement of the proceedings;
    • Allegations of irreconcilable differences in that the parties have been unable to resolve their marital problems, making continuation of their marriage impossible;
    • And those 90 days or more have elapsed since the court acquired jurisdiction over the other party either as a result of process or by the other party entering appearances.
    How much will my divorce cost?

    Unfortunately, there are no set numbers on how much your divorce will ultimately cost. You do have several options in lieu of trial that will cut costs such as mediation and settlement discussions.

    Can I annul my marriage?

    Annulments are very rare and do not offer many benefits over a divorce. They must follow essentially the same timeline and will incur the same costs. Annulments occur where you or your spouse can show that your marriage is invalid. Marriages can be invalid under the following circumstances:

    • A party lacked capacity to consent to the marriage either due to mental incapacity or infirmity, the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other incapacitating substances;
    • A party lacked physical capacity to consummate the marriage and the other party did not at the time of the marriage know of the incapacity;
    • A party was under the age as provided by law and did not have the consent of his/her parents or guardian or judicial approval as provided by law
    • One party entered into the marriage in reliance upon a fraudulent act or representation of the other party which act or representation goes to the essence of the marriage;
    • One or both parties entered into the marriage under duress;
    • One or both parties entered into the marriage as a jest or dare;
    • Or law prohibits the marriage.
    Who will get custody of our child?

    There are not set rules on who will automatically get custody of the children. There are statutory factors that the court must consider in awarding any decision regarding minor children.

    Can a parent refuse to allow visitation if child support is not paid?

    No. Child support payment, or lack thereof, is completely independent of a parent’s right to see his/her child.
