Defaulting your Ex in Utah

You’ve filed your Utah divorce papers. Now, you’re waiting for the 21 days to pass to see if you can default your soon-to-be ex.

If you’re ex defaults, you get everything, but what do you do after the 21 days have passed?

First, you file a motion for default and default certificate. Second, when the court signs the default certificate, you file all of the other finalization documents (there are about 7-8) and wait for the judge to sign everything.

If the documents haven’t been signed after two weeks, call the judge’s clerk to check the status of the case and to see if you missed anything the judge needs before he or she can sign your divorce decree.

Final hint: file the finalization documents as quickly as you can so your ex can’t file an Answer and get the case out of default.

Communication is a big thing for Brown Family Law and it showed. They were very helpful in answering any questions I had, and helping make all the complexities of law understandable.

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!

This office worked with my situation and my needs.

Over all a good service.

When I came to Brown Family Law I had lost all hope that my divorce would ever be completed. I had served my ex with numerous previous petitions, and had never been able to get to the finish line. Feeling defeated and frustrated I decided to give it one last shot and contact Brown Family Law. Jennifer, Dani and Marco Brown himself listened to my intricate story and worked with expertise and grace to finally get my divorced finalized after a 6 year long journey. You can not put a price on your freedom or peace of mind and that's exactly what they have given me. Brown Family Law is exceptional at what they do. I would highly recommend them and their incredible team!! Thank you , Thank you, Thank you!!!!

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.

Mr. Clay Randle is an excellent lawyer. He responded quickly and was able to get my daughter's divorce competed in a short period of time. I highly recommend him and his law firm. Thank you
