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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Navigating a divorce is never easy, and I am so grateful to have had the support of attorney Nathaniel Garrabrandt and paralegal Carren Leavitt. From start to finish, they were responsive, professional, and compassionate. I really appreciated the weekly check-in Every phone call and email was answered promptly. There were moments when I needed immediate help with custody issues and protection—Nathaniel handled those situations with calm expertise and gave me the reassurance I needed during such a stressful and uncertain time.

Divorce can feel overwhelming, but having strong legal guidance made all the difference. Nathaniel and Carren provided not only the legal knowledge but also the steady support that helped me feel protected and confident moving forward. I couldn’t recommend Briwn Family Law more highly to anyone needing a reliable and caring legal team!
David Handy and his team were fantastic in helping me navigate custody time with my daughter. He gave the me reassurance and encouragement I needed with each step and I couldn't be more grateful to him! Thanks David! And to his team Candace & Brooklyn for being very helpful in keeping constant communication open. I enjoyed working with everyone!
I had a great experience. Amazing guidance and direction to best help me and my situation.
This has honestly been a first-class experience! I've gotten to work with many attorneys throughout my life and none have been as attentive as, Clay Randle has been.
Daniel and Carren were great to work with. They took time to help me understand the process and get through a difficult time. When I had questions they were quick to respond and really listened to my concerns.
Glad Jason was fired. Clay can handle any case like a champ. Thank you brown family law.
Kayelise was the easiest to talk to. She addressed all my questions regarding my divorce and has so much empathy for those she talks to. I can’t thank her enough for her guidance in my divorce and answering all my questions.
I have had the privilege of working alongside Nate Garrabrandt through our BNI group and hearing him share valuable insights every week about the divorce process. Even though I haven’t personally needed the services of Brown Family Law, I can confidently say that Nate is extremely knowledgeable, well-educated, and passionate about helping his clients navigate such a challenging time. His professionalism and expertise stand out, and I would not hesitate to recommend him and his firm to anyone in need of a skilled divorce attorney.
