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.
