Every situation is different. Sometimes you aren’t sure if a divorce is the answer, but you need time and space to figure things out. A legal separation gives you a clear court order on issues dealing with finances and children while you make decisions about where to take your marriage from here.
An action for Separate Maintenance in Utah may be brought under the following circumstances:
- A spouse is deserted without good and sufficient cause.
- A spouse refuses to provide for the other when they have the ability to do so.
- A spouse has property in this state and deserts or neglects the other.
- When the parties live separate from each other.
- If a spouse is imprisoned for more than a year and does not provide for the other.
