You Matter — Your Case Is Personal to Me
Ever felt like your family problems have fallen upon deaf ears? Feel like your attorney is there, but not listening? Nothing disturbs me more than having conversations with people who seem like they’re mentally floating in some galaxy far, far away instead of paying attention to matters at hand.
I’m educated. I’m a people person. Understanding that every family man and woman walking through the door will have problems indicative of their future parenting or marriages is my job. I do not take cases and “categorize” them; instead, each individual seeking my legal expertise opens a new chapter in my personal practice. An attorney cannot know and understand a client without having walked in their shoes. I’ve walked in your shoes many, many times.
Fearless. Determined. Effective.
That’s the representation you want,
so that’s what I deliver.

How can I prevent my ex from relocating with my children?
Even if you are not the primary caretaker, you can take steps to prevent your children from relocating. Before allowing a parent to relocate with his or her children, the court will examine the circumstances and determine whether a move is in the children’s best interests. This includes evaluating the impact the move will have on the children’s relationship with you — the non-relocating parent. The best way to stop your children from relocating is to work with an experienced divorce attorney who can build a strong argument demonstrating the move is not in your children’s best interests.

Can I move away with my children?
Before relocating more than 150 miles away from your current home, you must first obtain approval from a family law judge. The judge will review the circumstances and determine whether relocating is in the best interests of your children. If so, you can move with your children. If not, you are still free to move, just not with your children. Instead, the judge will modify the custody order so the children remain in the area with their other parent.

How does custody work in Utah?
Custody can take many forms. One parent may have sole custody while the other has visitation or parents may share custody. If you and your child’s other parent cannot agree on an arrangement, the court will examine the circumstances and make a determination it feels is in the best interests of your children.
