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

Testimonials

Diana is extremely organized, professional, competent, and compassionate. She was very skilled at taking my emotional perspective on the situation and sorting out the important facts to help support my case. She always helped me keep a realistic perspective yet provided me with the professional support I needed under a highly stressful situation. Her written responses were well formulated, organized, and always to the point. In court proceedings, she was always professional, respectful, competent, and organized. I always felt that she held the best interest of my children in mind when helping me make decisions. When decisions were made that did not feel favorable to me, she helped me to put the situation in perspective and to not take decisions personally. Diana is a woman and lawyer with integrity. She always took the high road and never spoke of anyone with disrespect. She utilized the facts to speak for themselves and refused to match disparaging remarks made by others. Without question, I would return to her again for legal representation. Furthermore, I give her the highest recommendation to anyone seeking legal representation.
