Utah Divorce Default Paperwork — Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law

The other day, I posted our internal Utah divorce default checklist.

In some of the nest posts, I’ll provide the documents mentioned in the checklist. These are the documents we actually use in our divorces.

First document is the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law we use. This document is specific to defaults, so it has language we wouldn’t normally use in other Findings and Conclusions.

Here you go. Enjoy.

I’m very glad I chose Brown Family Law to handle my divorce. From start to finish, the process went smoothly. Divorce can be incredibly stressful, but much of that stress was eased thanks to their professionalism and guidance. Special thanks to Nicholas Schwarz and Carren Leavitt—both are outstanding attorneys who clearly know exactly what they’re doing. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Thank you!

Working with Carren was a great experience. She not only deeply knowledgeable about the legal process, but also incredibly patient in answering my questions and explaining complex documents. She was always responsive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported throughout my case. I couldn’t have asked for better help!

I worked with Nicholas Schwarz during my divorce and mediation, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. My biggest concern was making sure my financial needs were still covered while paying alimony, and Nicholas was consistently clear, responsive, and genuinely protective of my interests. With his guidance, I reached a fair settlement that allowed me not just to get by, but to actually live my life. Divorce is always stressful, but he worked hard for me and took a lot of that stress off my shoulders. I would recommend him without hesitation and would hire him again.

Daniel and Carren were amazing throughout my entire time with them. It was such a relief having Daniel as my attorney, he was thorough, explained everything so I understood it, he worked hard with me and spoke with me in a regular basis to keep me in the loop with everything happening in my case. He fought for me. It meant the world to my boys and I and we can continue our lives and move forward. Thank you Daniel. Carren was so amazing to send me follow up, keep me up to date on anything that changed with my case. Any time there were changes she was so on top of it! I’m so glad I could count on these guys, truly. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.
Response from the owner:Sean, so glad Daniel and Carren took good care of you. Thank you for your kind words.
