What if We Agree on Everything?

Divorces come in two types: contested and uncontested. If you disagree about things, you have a contested case. If you agree about everything, your case is uncontested.

When you agree on everything, you simply bring your agreement to an attorney who turns that agreement into a stipulation. When everyone reads and signs the stipulation, the case is effectively done.

And when I say done, I mean done in the legal sense of the word, which means it still takes a while to get divorced. (Nothing happens quickly in the law.)

After you sign, your attorney will need to complete a number of documents required by the court. In addition, you may need to provide tax and pay records if child support is involved. You may also need to complete a divorce education course if child custody is involved.

When all the documents are filed and served on your spouse, and all other requirements are met, your judge will wait out Utah’s 90-day waiting period and then sign your divorce decree. When that’s signed, you’re divorced. Easy peasy.

Now, there’s obvious more to the process than I’m letting on. The process actually has a number of steps and requires a lot of care to get right. Still, when you hire a good law firm, the process is pretty seamless because the firm has systems in place to shepherd your agreement from beginning to end.

In addition to being a straightforward process, uncontested divorces cost less. Usually, law firms will charge a relatively modest flat fee, instead of an hourly fee. In fact, this is what we do in our firm. Uncontested divorces are among the best deals in the law. If you can come to an agreement on everything, do it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
