What Is the Right of First Refusal?

Hi, I’m Marco Brown from Brown Family in Salt Lake City, Utah.

I wanted to take a moment and answer a question that question is what is the right of first refusal the writer first refusal is the idea that it’s better that children are cared for by their parents than by other people. So, here’s a prime example of that: you have divorced parents and the kid is with one of the parents and that parent has to go to work for eight or ten hours. What the writer first refusal says is it’s better for that kid to be with the other parent than to be in daycare or with grandma. So, what you would need to do is if you’re the one going to work for eight or ten hours, is call the other parent and say “Hey, do you want to watch our kid during this period of time?” If they do, then they have the opportunity to do that. If they can’t, then you can go to daycare, then you can have the child with grandma. But really the front right of first refusal is this idea that it’s best that children are cared for by their parents instead of by third parties and by daycares.

Excellent

Clay Randle at Brown Family Law is a master of clarity in the midst of complexity.

I hired Clay to help me navigate a divorce involving contested marital and premarital properties spread across multiple states. The legal terrain was anything but simple. Valuation disputes, and emotionally charged negotiations. Clay handled it all with precision, professionalism, and a calm that made a difficult process feel manageable.

What stood out most was his ability to distill complicated legal issues into clear, actionable steps. He was responsive, strategic, and always one step ahead in anticipating challenges. I never felt lost in the process—Clay made sure I understood my options and the implications of every decision.

If you’re facing a divorce with significant property concerns —Clay is the kind of attorney who brings both legal rigor and human empathy. I’m grateful for his guidance and would recommend him without hesitation.
