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.

Going through a custody case is overwhelming, but having my attorney Nick, made all the difference. He was calm when I was stressed, always responsive, explained everything clearly, and truly had my child’s best interest at heart. Attention to detail, and courtroom presence made a huge difference. I felt heard, respected, and protected throughout the entire process. His communication was clear and consistent, and I never felt left in the dark. I’m beyond grateful for his hard work and dedication. I would absolutely recommend Nick to anyone needing strong, compassionate representation .

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!

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.
This office worked with my situation and my needs.

They were patient and explained the process to me if/when I had questions.

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!!!!
