Property is divided by the Utah courts during a divorce. Divorce laws in Utah state that marital property should be divided equitably. This means that a Utah court could decide that it is fair to split the marital property 50-50 or they may decide that one party deserves more than 50% of the property.

Once the judge has signed the final decree following mediation or trial, you are legally divorced. At this point, you should obtain a copy of the finalized decree for your records. Note that you must file any appeals to the judge's decision within 30 days.

You must first obtain a certificate of eligibility from the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI), before filing a petition to expunge records. Your expungement eligibility will be based upon your total criminal history, not just what has been reported to the Bureau of Criminal Identification.

If you have been served with a Petition for Divorce, and there's something in the Petition that you don't agree with, you must file a written response with the court within 20 days of the date of service if you were served in Utah. If you were served outside of Utah, you have 30 days to file your written response.

Infidelity rarely alters the outcome of a divorce in any significant way. However, when the court divides marital property and awards alimony, adultery may help tip the scales in favor of the non-offending party. Utah courts are instructed to consider all relevant facts and equitable circumstances.

The BCI states that the application fee for requesting a certificate will cost $65.00. Additionally, if the BCI determines that you are eligible to receive a certificate, there will be an additional $65.00 fee charged for each conviction that a person wishes to expunge.
