Strategic Representation for Lehi & Silicon Slopes Families

Lehi has become one of Utah’s fastest-growing cities — home to Silicon Slopes, Thanksgiving Point, Traverse Mountain, and thousands of dual-income professionals, tech employees, and business owners. When divorce happens here, it’s rarely simple. Cases routinely involve equity compensation and RSUs, a recently purchased home with significant equity, retirement accounts that grew during the marriage, business ownership, and parenting schedules built around demanding careers. These are exactly the situations that reward disciplined financial analysis and careful strategy — and punish guesswork.

The Schriever Law Firm represents Lehi clients from our office at 2183 West Main Street, just off I-15, in divorce, child custody, support, alimony, and the full range of family law. Most Lehi divorce and custody matters are heard in Utah County’s Fourth District Court.

Why Lehi Families Choose The Schriever Law Firm

  • A dedicated attorney and an experienced family-law professional on every case — senior legal strategy plus steady day-to-day management, so nothing slips and you’re never handed off to a stranger.
  • Lower-cost representation through Licensed Paralegal Practitioners (LPPs). Utah is one of the only states that licenses LPPs to handle divorce, custody, and support directly. On eligible cases, much of the work is done at a lower rate than an attorney’s — with an attorney assigned from day one for anything requiring the courtroom.
  • Service in Spanish from a credentialed professional. Our family-law team includes a native Spanish speaker who holds a Juris Doctor — not a borrowed translator.
  • Trial-ready, mediation-first. We prepare every case as if it will go to court, which strengthens every negotiation — but we lead with resolution where it serves you.
  • Transparent billing. Clear rates, a written estimate, and a retainer you can watch draw down.

High-Asset & Complex Divorce in Lehi

Lehi’s professional households often hold the kinds of assets that make property division contentious. Getting the analysis and the drafting right is what protects your financial future.

Common financial issues in Lehi divorces include:

  • Division or sale of a high-equity marital home and refinancing timelines
  • Equity compensation, stock options, and RSUs vesting over time
  • Retirement accounts and 401(k) growth during the marriage (divided by QDRO)
  • Business ownership, self-employment, and variable income
  • Separate vs. marital property where funds were commingled
  • Allocation of marital debt

Child Custody & Parent-Time in Lehi

Utah custody decisions turn on the best interests of the child, separating legal custody (major decisions) from physical custody (the parenting schedule), and starting from a presumption that joint legal custody is appropriate absent abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. For busy Lehi families, the work is turning informal arrangements into clear, enforceable orders.

We help parents with:

  • Joint and sole custody arrangements
  • Detailed, conflict-resistant parent-time schedules
  • Relocation issues (Utah’s 150-mile / 60-day notice rule)
  • Custody evaluations and Guardian ad Litem cases
  • Modifications and parent-time enforcement

Child Support, Alimony & Enforcement

Child support follows Utah’s income-shares guidelines, but disputes turn on how income is defined — bonuses, RSUs, self-employment, and earning capacity. Alimony is decided case-by-case on need, ability to pay, earning capacity, marital standard of living, and length of marriage, and generally can’t last longer than the marriage. After a decree, we handle enforcement when a former spouse won’t comply.

Divorce Mediation in Lehi

Utah requires most divorcing couples to attempt mediation before a contested case goes to trial — and when both sides are prepared, mediation is usually faster, less expensive, and less adversarial than litigation. Our LPPs can advocate for you in mediation, keeping costs down further. When the other side won’t deal fairly, our attorneys are ready for court.

understanding Utah Divorce Law

To file in Utah, you or your spouse must have lived in the state and the county for at least three months. Utah imposes a mandatory 30-day waiting period after filing, is a no-fault state (irreconcilable differences), and divides marital property by equitable distribution — fairly, though not always equally.

frequently asked questions

How long does a divorce take in Lehi?

Utah requires a mandatory 30-day waiting period after filing — the floor even for fully agreed cases. Uncontested divorces often finalize within one to three months; contested cases in the Fourth District Court can take nine months or more.

Where is my Lehi divorce filed?

Most Lehi divorce and custody matters are handled through Utah County’s Fourth District Court.

Can I lower my divorce costs?

Often, yes — on eligible cases, a Licensed Paralegal Practitioner can handle much of the work at a lower rate than an attorney, with an attorney assigned for anything requiring a hearing.

Do you offer divorce services in Spanish?

Yes — you can work with a native Spanish speaker on our family-law team who also holds a Juris Doctor.

Do we have to go to court?

Not necessarily. Utah requires an attempt at mediation in contested cases, and most divorces resolve without trial.
