  2. Getting through divorce is one of the most overwhelming challenges many people ever face. Your concerns about your children, property, financial stability and overall future are real. Whether you are preparing to file for divorce in Salt Lake City or your spouse has filed divorce upon you, it is essential to get counsel from a divorce lawyer attorney who will take the time to engage with you and identify with your unique needs and goals.

  3. Let’s Talk About Adultery When it comes to reasons that people choose to get divorced, one of the most devastating is their spouse cheating on them. It is a betrayal that simply cannot usually be overlooked. However, whether or not adultery affects divorce proceedings depends on what aspect of the divorce we are talking about. First, you need to point out that Utah takes adultery seriously – it is a misdemeanor criminal offense.

  4. However, in most cases, adultery is not going to be a factor when dividing a couple’s property during the divorce. If a spouse spent a large amount of the couple’s money on their affair, this might be taken into account when it comes to property division. For this to occur, the spouse who was cheated on would need to gather financial records and receipts to show how much their spouse spent on maintaining their affair. Adultery will also not be taken into account when it comes to decisions pertaining to child custody or visitation unless the affair shows a spouse’s inability to properly care for their child.

  5. What About Alimony? This is where Utah courts will consider the effect of adultery. Spousal maintenance is a vital part of the separation process. During a marriage, it is not uncommon for one spouse to depend on the other financially. During the divorce process, the courts may order the higher-earning spouse to make alimony payments to a financially dependent spouse.

  6. If a spouse believes that they should not have to pay alimony because they were cheated on, they will need to gather sufficient evidence to prove an affair did occur. This includes gathering phone records, financial statements, and any other evidence that connects their spouse to an adulterous relationship (social media postings, text messages, etc.).
