Comprehensive Divorce Services

Rifleman Law & Mediation provides a full range of divorce services designed to address every aspect of the divorce process. Our team will stand by you from the beginning stages of filing for divorce through the finalization of all terms, providing clear communication and effective representation along the way.

Child Custody and Support Determination

One of the most crucial and sensitive aspects of a divorce involving children is the determination of custody and support. Our attorneys at Rifleman Law & Mediation prioritize the best interests of the children while also safeguarding your rights as a parent. We help parents develop fair and realistic child custody arrangements, whether through sole custody, joint custody, or customized schedules that reflect each family’s unique needs.

We also guide clients in establishing child support obligations that ensure the financial well-being of their children. Our attorneys use Utah’s child support guidelines to calculate fair and equitable support amounts, while considering other essential factors such as health insurance, educational expenses, and any special needs the child may have. Should any changes arise in your family’s needs or circumstances, we’re here to assist with modifications to custody and support arrangements as needed.

Development of Parenting Plans

Creating a solid, sustainable parenting plan is essential for divorced parents to co-parent effectively. A well-crafted parenting plan outlines each parent’s responsibilities and schedules, providing stability and predictability for both parents and children. At Rifleman Law & Mediation, we work with you to develop a parenting plan that addresses visitation schedules, holiday arrangements, decision-making responsibilities, and guidelines for communication between parents.

Our attorneys are skilled at helping clients reach agreements that allow for flexibility, while maintaining structure. We strive to help you create a parenting plan that minimizes conflict and supports a healthy co-parenting relationship.

Division of Assets and Debts

Dividing marital assets and debts fairly is often a complex part of the divorce process, especially in high-asset cases or where there are substantial shared debts. In Utah, assets and debts acquired during the marriage are generally considered marital property and are subject to equitable distribution. Our attorneys at Rifleman Law & Mediation thoroughly review all financial aspects of your case, including real estate, bank accounts, retirement accounts, investments, and personal property, to ensure you receive your fair share of the marital estate.

We are skilled in working with financial experts when necessary to determine the accurate value of complex assets, such as business interests or retirement plans. Our goal is to achieve a division of assets and debts that reflects your contributions and protects your financial future.

Alimony

Alimony, or spousal support, is often a key consideration in divorce cases, especially in marriages where one spouse was the primary earner. Utah courts may award alimony based on factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial situation, and the standard of living established during the marriage. Rifleman Law & Mediation’s attorneys are experienced in negotiating fair alimony agreements, ensuring that our clients are either receiving or paying a reasonable amount.

If circumstances change after a divorce, such as a significant change in income, our attorneys can help with modifications to alimony orders. We advocate strongly for our clients to secure or modify alimony arrangements that align with their needs and financial situation.

Enforcement of Divorce Orders

After a divorce, issues may arise with the enforcement of court orders regarding custody, support, or property division. When one party fails to meet their legal obligations, such as child support payments or visitation terms, it can disrupt lives and create tension. At Rifleman Law & Mediation, we assist clients in enforcing divorce orders through legal channels. Whether it involves garnishing wages, filing for contempt of court, or securing judgments, our attorneys work diligently to ensure compliance with court-ordered obligations.
