  2. There is nothing more important than protecting children during the divorce process. While divorce is hard on everyone involved, minor children should have the Family Court’s full attention.

  3. Protecting Children Is The Goal The audit completed by the Legislative Auditor General for Utah gives them an interesting insight into the other side of the system. The audit reviewed 10 of those cases and looked at both the Utah Code and Utah State court rules and found that there were proper protections in place for children in divorce cases.

  4. The average divorce in Utah takes 6 months from filing to final disposition. 01 “Attorneys found that the presence of child disputes in divorce proceedings drastically increases the time to disposition,” the audit report says. When there is a child custody evaluation, the time increases to an average of 16 months from filing to disposition. 02 If a Guardian Ad Litem is appointed by the court to represent the minor due to allegations of abuse or neglect, the cases take an average of 22 months to resolve. 03

  5. The auditors found that custody evaluations were ordered more often than necessary. They recommended that cases should be placed on certain paths based on certain factors: Length of the marriage or separation Marital property and debt Age of minor children involved

  6. What Does Child Custody Mean?
