When can I modify a divorce decree in Utah?
Utah law allows modification when there has been a 'substantial and material change in circumstances' since the original order. This can include income changes, relocation, a child's changing needs, or other significant life events.
Do we both have to agree?
For an uncontested modification, yes — both parties must agree to the new terms and sign the stipulation. If you don't agree, that's a contested modification, and mediation or court may be needed.
How much does an uncontested modification cost with divvi?
$300 flat fee for divvi's document preparation. You'll also pay the court's filing fee directly — typically $50–$100 in Utah depending on the county and modification type.
How long does this take?
Once you've completed the divvi questions, document preparation takes minutes. Courts typically approve uncontested modifications within 2–6 weeks without requiring a hearing.
Do I need an attorney?
Not for an uncontested modification. Both parties signing a stipulation is legally sufficient in Utah for most modification types. If your situation is complex or the other party contests the change, we'd recommend consulting an attorney.
