Alimony 101 in Utah

August 14, 2024 By Diana Telfer

Our Utah legislature was busy this past 2024 session re-numbering the entire family law related statutes.  Here’s a chart for easy reference to understand how and when alimony is determined.  Any substantive changes are in red and become effective as of September 1, 2024.

Alimony Under Utah Code §81-4
Termination of Alimony Under Utah Code §81-4-504

The purpose of alimony is to avoid a significant disparity between the parties’ lifestyles after their divorce.  Alimony is one of the most challenging and complex issues in a divorce because the factors can be quite subjective.  Over the past 19 years, I have expertly guided numerous clients through the complexities of alimony disputes, utilizing a range of strategic tools and solutions to achieve favorable outcomes without the need for court intervention.

For more information on alimony, feel free to contact me at (801)464-4004.

Testimonials

I reached out to Diana after already hiring an attorney that didn’t seem to believe in me. I set up a consultation and met with Diana. After the first meeting she gave me hope for my future endeavors and I hired her right away. I not only was fighting 1 custody relocation battle but I was fighting 2. Diana is very knowledgeable with family law and is realistic with what different outcomes may occur. She is concerned about the best interest of the children and uses your money in the most cost efficient way to help your needs. I wish I would’ve went to Diana very first! In the end we had a good outcome and I was able to relocate out of state with my entire family together. Thank you Diana!
