Utah law requires 30 days between filing and finalizing the divorce. This is called the waiting period. You can ask the court to waive the waiting period if there are extraordinary circumstances. Get info on filing a motion to waive the waiting period on our Motion to Waive Divorce Waiting Period page.
The Utah Courts offer an Online Court Assistance Program (OCAP) to help divorcing couples prepare divorce paperwork without an attorney. There are separate packages of forms for the spouse who initiates the divorce proceeding (the "petitioner") and the other spouse (the "respondent").
The way to ask that the waiting period be waived is to file a Motion to Waive Divorce Waiting Period. The motion will not be granted automatically; the moving party must show extraordinary circumstances.
It cannot be waived, no. The court can enter a judgment making the marriage automatically terminate once the 90 days is up, but the 90 days must pass before the marriage dissolves. There is no way to sugar coat that.

Filing a motion for a temporary order in divorce can be important when any of the following issues need to be dealt with: Custody and visitation, in which case a temporary order would outline a schedule for when each party has time with the child(ren)
To address the immediate needs of the children involved, a motion for temporary custody is filed to establish a temporary arrangement until a final custody agreement is reached.
There can be many reasons, but it should all comes down to one or more of these most basic reasons: The motion for temporary orders does not have valid grounds in the law (in other words, the law does not permit the relief requested).
As the name suggests, temporary custody provides a short-term court order granting either on parent, or both parents, custody until the parents are able to reach a permanent custody agreement. In contrast to creating a parenting plan for long-term use, the court can grant temporary custody quickly.
Temporary reliefs require a special hearing that provides an impermanent solution based on the circumstances and are typically resolved through settlement negotiations or mediation. When a judge grants a motion for temporary relief, the order will only remain in effect until the formal proceedings are completed.
