My husband and I originally started working with Michael Lundberg but Kenneth Burton took over our case after Micheal received another opportunity. While I could say great things about both attorneys, Ken Burton really WOWED us as did paralegal Amy. We also worked with support staff Kate and finance guy Darrin - everyone was professional, helpful and friendly. Originally seeking appropriate child support for my husband’s 2 children - his ex wife refused to provide her income (self employed) and retained an attorney herself in attempts to modify the divorce decree, seeking more parent time so her child support payment would not increase. These guys really went to bat for us and made sure it was clear that we weren’t willing to sacrifice any of our time with the kids and take from the stability the children had in our care for the last 8 years and made it clear that she couldn’t run from her child support obligations any longer. Ken sat through a long mediation session, in-person meetings with us, and answered our many questions via email and phone call. Always timely - we never felt any less important than his other cases. He was prepared for this to go to trial but made sure we knew it would be costly and a lengthy process. Luckily it was mediated and we got the results we had desired - increased child support without the loss of time (our residence is still primary) and only some minor tweaks on our end to make her feel like she was getting something out of it all. Ken was very open with us throughout and his appreciation for values was clear. After meeting him just once - I had an instant respect for him. He is level headed and blunt where blunt-ness is due. If we ever were to need any sort of legal representation again - Ken would be our first and only call. During the process my husband even referred to a co-worker to these guys - this just speaks to how great these guys were from start to finish. Having worked with a couple other attorneys in the Ogden area - if you are considering retaining these guys - do it. We are super impressed and equally thankful for everything Ken and his firm has done for us. Kazya & Zack
Divorce is a difficult, emotional process; you shouldn’t have to manage it alone. We’ll guide you through each step with knowledge, compassion, and steady support so that you can focus on your family and your future.
You deserve clarity when questions about parentage arise. We’ll guide you on whether you need to establish rights, challenge a claim, confirm parentage, or secure custody or support.
If you’re fighting for custody during a divorce or you’re an unmarried parent seeking time with your child, we’ll help you protect your relationship with your child and work toward a parenting arrangement that supports their well-being and your rights.
Your child deserves support from both parents, and Utah law protects that right. We help you understand how child support works, how the court calculates payments, and how to pursue fair support — whether you’re requesting it, modifying it, or enforcing it.
As your life changes, you might need to change your court orders. If custody, parent time, income, or living arrangements change, we’ll help you update your existing orders to reflect your current situation and meet your family’s needs.
You’ll have more control over your divorce if you resolve issues through mediation. A mediator remains neutral and cannot provide legal advice; therefore, having an attorney present as counsel protects your rights. We guide you through discussions about property, finances, parenting plans, and every issue you must settle before your divorce becomes final.
If you’ve built a deep and loving bond with your stepchild, you may want to make that relationship legal. Step-parent adoption secures your parental rights and creates stability for your family. We help you move through the process with care, clarity, and strong legal guidance.
When someone you love passes away, you may need to manage their estate through probate. During this process, the court will appoint you to gather, protect, and distribute assets. This task can feel overwhelming, but we guide you step by step so you understand your duties and feel supported through every decision.
If you have questions about alimony, you deserve clear answers. Utah courts will examine each spouse’s needs, financial abilities, and long-term stability when deciding support. We’ll help you understand what may be fair, what the court may consider, and how to protect your financial future during and after your divorce.
If you or a loved one needs help navigating a protective order, reach out to Burton Family Attorneys. You’ll receive reliable, compassionate, and experienced legal support. Your safety matters, and we’re here to guide you toward a more secure future.
Divorce affects retirement assets, including 401(k)s, pensions, and IRAs. We’ll help you understand what the court requires and prepare the necessary QDRO documents, so your retirement funds get divided correctly and fairly. You’ll gain peace of mind knowing you have protection for your long-term assets.
If someone you love needs help with daily care or financial decisions, you may need to request guardianship or conservatorship. We’ll help you understand your responsibilities, complete the necessary filings, and support your loved one with the care they deserve.
