Collaborative Divorce in Utah

Respectful resolutions that protect what matters most.

Navigate your Utah divorce with dignity, protect your children's well-being, and preserve financial resources through a client-centered collaborative process.

A Different Approach to Divorce in Utah

Collaborative divorce is a structured, out-of-court process where you and your spouse commit to reaching agreements without litigation. As a fully-trained Collaborative Divorce lawyer, I guide clients through this dignified process that emphasizes:
  • Respectful problem-solving
  • Open and transparent communication
  • Child-focused solutions
  • Privacy and confidentiality
  • Preservation of family relationships
​With transparency and a commitment to minimizing conflict, we focus on finding solutions that work for your entire family's future, not just winning legal arguments. 

Benefits of Collaborative Divorce

Better Control

Maintain decision-making power rather than leaving outcomes to a judge (or litigation lawyer) who doesn't know your family.

Cost Effective

Typically less expensive than litigation, non-adversarial, interest-based negotiations that problem-solve and build skills.

Private

Keep your personal information and discussions private, unlike public court proceedings.

Child-Focused

Create parenting plans focused on your children's needs, minimizing the impact of divorce.

Future Oriented

Build communication skills that support healthy co-parenting and future family interactions.

Efficient Process

Progress at your own pace without being subject to delays and crowded court calendars.
