When considering a divorce, it is important to understand the waiting period in your state. In Utah, the waiting period is 90 days. This means that you must live separate and apart from your spouse for 90 days before the divorce can be finalized. During this time, you are encouraged to consult with an attorney to discuss the best way to proceed with your divorce.

There are a few exceptions to the 90-day waiting period. If you have children under the age of 18, or if you have certain types of property that need to be divided, you may be able to get a divorce sooner. An experienced family law attorney can help you determine if you qualify for an exception and can advise you on the best way to proceed with your divorce.

8 Ways To Speed Up Your Divorce

When going through a divorce, the last thing you want is for it to drag on forever. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to speed things up. Here are 8 tips:

1. Be cooperative and amicable with your ex-spouse. This will help to keep things moving along smoothly.

2. Make sure you have all of the necessary paperwork ready and filed with the court. This will help to avoid any unnecessary delays.

3. Try to agree on as many issues as possible outside of court. This will save both you and your ex-spouse time and money.

4. If you have children, make sure you are both on the same page when it comes to custody and visitation arrangements.

5. Keep communication with your attorney open and honest. This will help them to provide the best possible representation for you in court.

6. Don’t put off decisions or stall proceedings unnecessarily. This will only add to the length of your divorce process.

7. Be prepared to compromise on some issues, if necessary. No one gets everything they want in a divorce settlement.

8. Finally, try to stay calm and patient throughout the entire process. Divorces can be stressful and frustrating, but try not to let that get the best of you.”
