Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

Re: inheritance

Not a single cent. Inheritances, and pre-marriage owned property are not part of the joint marital property (property obtained with marriage earned funds) which marital property is split. Each party is entitled to retain their pre-marital property. If the inherited funds have been co-mingled with marital funds there can be complications.

Re: inheritance

The short answer is no. However, it may also depend on what you did with that money you received while you were married. If you kept it segregated from marital funds and from purchasing property which was also purchased with marital funds, you should be okay. However, if you didn't do those things, the court will sometimes consider those funds to be so co-mingled with marital property/funds, that it loses its character as your own separate property.
