Steps in Filing for Divorce
The next step in filing for divorce is to sign
the divorce forms with the presence of a notary.
You can find a notary through your bank (it is
often a free service provided to customers) or
you can find one through private businesses like
check-cashing services or at the courthouse.

Next, you will file the divorce forms in the
clerks office of the court in the county where
you live. You will be charged 310 for a filing
fee. You can file a motion in order to get this
fee waived. But in order to do this, you need to
prove that you cant afford this fee. You would
have to provide a detailed description of your
expenses, income, debts, and property.

The final step will be the waiting game. Your
spouse will have 21 days to file a response to
your petition. It will be extended to 30 days if
your spouse lives out of the state of Utah. If
your spouse doesnt file an answer within the
specified amount of time, then you can ask the
court for a default judgment.
