How to file for divorce? To file for a divorce in Utah you will need to prepare a divorce petition. A divorce petition is a legal document consisting of a series of numbered statements in which you tell the court that you live in the county where the divorce is filed, identity your spouse and any children, and then explain to the court what you want done with the children, assets, debts, and any other special provisions. You will also need a cover sheet (which is provided for by the Court). The filing fee is $310. Other documents that are to be filed include a divorce certificate (requires an $8 fee), a child support worksheet, a military declaration, a military order, and a summons. Once the documents are finalized, signed, and notarized (where necessary), you take them to the district court in the county where you live and pay the filing fees. You will want to bring copies of the documents or you can purchase copies at the court house. The summons and petition will need to be served on your spouse. This can be done by leaving a copy of the petition and the summons in the Constables file at the court house. The cost is generally between $44 and $75 depending on how difficult it is to serve your spouse.
