How Long Do Utah Divorce Trials Last?

About 98% of Utah divorces never go to trial.

Almost all of them are settled through mediation and negotiation.

That leaves about 2% that do end up in front of a judge.

Of those divorces that do go to trial, how many days do the trials usually last?

In my experience, if everything is on the table (custody, child support, alimony, debts, assets, the home, etc.), then a trial usually lasts two days.

If some of the issues have been settled beforehand, and the trial is just about custody or alimony, then trial usually lasts one day.

This said, most of the time, divorces that go to trial are difficult cases in which people just can’t agree on much of anything.

So, most of our divorce trials last two days.

I absolutely believe that Brown Family Law is the best divorce attorney law firm in Utah. Attorney Ray Hingson did a fantastic job for me in a complicated divorce. He was there to guide me through the entire process. Ray touched base with me every week AND every time I called with worries or concerns. He handled things confidently and professionally. He took time to meet with me and explain everything so I could understand it. I felt like he really cared and wanted to do his best for me. His paralegal, Carren Leavitt, was also extremely helpful. All I had to do was pick up the phone and call her and she arranged a time for Ray to call me right back. She was always prompt and caring. I couldn't be happier!

Leilani Whitmer was my attorney for mediation day at the provo 4th district court on May 9th and absolutely knocked it out of the park. She made the process so smooth and easy I'd recommend her for any family law issue you could possibly fathom.
