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.
