There is a law that states that a court may consider infidelity or other wrongdoing as a part of an award in a divorce.

Unfortunately, the statute relating to fault has been disregarded by the Utah Court of Appeals and the court can't consider the issue of "fault" until the legislature amends the statute to more closely defines what "fault" means.
