Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

timeline and overview of events of typical divorce

I have been married for almost 8

years. I been a stay at home dad to

my wifes 2 boys. It got so bad at home

that I moved out 2 months ago. She's

gone through a divorce before and I

have not. She has all the money and I

have not. I'm almost out right now. I

have a title to one of our cars but

have resisted attaching a loan to it. I

asked for

some and that did not go well at all.

Does she have to pay for this hotel

what about counsoling? I'm looking foe

a job right now but I owned my own

business prior to wedding and have

not since making it a challenge with no

past work record going back 8+ years.

I really am so amazed by her actions I

feel I don't know her at this point. I

belive this might be over money ( she

has a project wrapping up paying

almost 1 million, it has been her focus

for over a year. ) which is painful

because I sold almost everything I

owned trying to help us through her

chapter 13, 5 years ago. Can you tell

me what to expect with cost; timeline;

events-challenges to overcome. She

will hire the best in town I don't know

if that will matter as much as getting

before a judge who can see that see

has no heart.

Often the court will order the party with greater assets to compensate the one with less. This may include support, child support, attorney fees or other assistance. You would need to file a motion for temporary orders at the same time you file for divorce. Her potential earnings will be an asset of the marital estate to which you may be entitled to a portion. You may call for a free consultation.
