Start your divorce
An uncontested Utah divorce is free with divvi when both spouses agree on custody, support, property, debt, and alimony (spousal support). divvi prepares every required court document, supports e-signatures for both spouses, and provides county-specific filing guidance. You pay Utah's $358 filing fee directly to the district court.

The divvi principle
How do I file for divorce in Utah?
Four steps, start to decree.
- About 40 minutes
Answer questions about your life
Plain English, no legal terms. Your marriage, your kids, your house, your debts. Stop whenever you like — it saves as you go.
- Same day
divvi writes the whole packet
Every document Utah requires, filled in from your answers — petition, decree, parenting plan, child support worksheet, financial disclosures.
- When you're both ready
You both review and sign
Your spouse gets their own login and sees the same case. Nothing is filed until you've both read it and signed.
- Then a 30-day wait
File it with your court
A step-by-step guide for your specific county. Utah's filing fee is $358, paid to the court — never to divvi. Then the 30-day clock starts and divvi tracks it.
What do you actually have to decide in a Utah divorce?
Anyone can generate a form. The hard part is deciding what goes in it. This is the part you can't do alone with a blank PDF — and it's the part that decides how the next ten years go.
A parenting plan you actually build
Pick a schedule from Utah's standard options or build your own week. Holidays, summers, pickups, and who gets the call when school closes — all of it decided now, not argued about later.
Provisions for the things that come up later
Right of first refusal. Moving out of state. Who covers the braces. 44+ optional clauses, in plain English, so your decree answers the question before it becomes a fight.
See every way to divide it
List what you own and what you owe, and see the split as you build it. Compare options side by side before either of you agrees to anything.
Written to Utah's rules, not a national template
Every provision is drawn from Utah statute and the forms Utah courts actually use. A generic 50-state template gets rejected at the counter.
MyPaperwork vs divvi: what's the difference?
You could use MyPaperwork. It's the state's own program, it's free, and it makes the forms. So does divvi. Here's everything else.
| MyPaperwork | divvi | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs | Free | Free |
| Generates Utah court forms | Yes | Yes |
| Builds your parenting plan | No — you supply the terms | Guided schedule builder |
| Helps you divide property and debt | No — it records what you type | Inventory and split, compared side by side |
| Optional decree provisions | No library | 44+ Utah-sourced clauses |
| Both spouses in one case | One spouse only | Shared case, both sign |
| When you get stuck | Self-Help Center, which cannot give legal advice | Guided at every step, with a person to ask |
| Filing it with the court | You file it yourself | You file it yourself — with a county-by-county guide |
MyPaperwork is a service of the Utah State Courts. divvi is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Utah State Courts. Utah does not allow divorce cases to be opened online, so both routes end with you filing the packet yourself.
Some things still need a person.
divvi doesn't replace the humans who matter in your case. It just makes sure you're only using them when you genuinely need to — protecting your time and your money.

Everything you need to decide.
This is for you if…
- You and your spouse agree on how property and debts get divided
- If you have kids, you agree on the parenting schedule and support
- Both of you are willing to sign the paperwork
- You want to keep the money you'd otherwise spend on two attorneys
This isn't for you if…
- You still disagree about anything material — start with help reaching agreement instead
- Your spouse won't participate or can't be located
- There's a protective order, or you feel unsafe negotiating directly
- You're already divorced and need to change the order — that's a modification
How it works
- Answer plain-English questionsAbout 40 minutes. No legal terms, and you can stop and come back.
- Both of you review and signYour spouse gets their own login and sees the same case. Everything is signed electronically.
- File with the courtA step-by-step guide for your specific county courthouse — or divvi files it for you.
How long it takes
Utah requires a 30-day waiting period from the day you file. Most uncontested cases finish in 6–10 weeks.
What it costs
Free
divvi charges nothing for documents, e-signature, or filing guidance. You pay Utah's court filing fee of $358 directly to the court. Optional: divviFile handles the filing for you ($500 flat).
What happens when you click
You'll confirm whether you have minor children and whether to invite your spouse, then go straight into your intake. Nothing is filed until you both review and approve it.
