We are committed to helping you achieve your goals efficiently and effectively, with the least amount of stress and conflict possible. Below is a brief description of the services we provide in the areas of family law we encounter most often in our Salt Lake City practice.

Divorce Info

Divorce: We represent our clients in all aspects of their divorce. This includes issues like: property division, payment of child support, and alimony. We also handle child custody and parent time issues, including interstate child custody and visitation rights. Our experienced divorce attorneys have the knowledge to see that your rights and interests are protected and promoted at every step of the divorce process. From uncontested divorces to post-divorce modifications; all the way to family mediation and courtroom litigation; we will be there for you.

Paternity Info

Paternity: A child’s legal father has the right to custody and visitation. He also has the legal responsibility to financially support the child through the payment of child support if ordered. A child’s parentage also fixes important legal rights for the child through childhood and on into adulthood. We represent family members in seeking to establish paternity, as well as fighting for father’s rights and challenging paternity proceedings where appropriate.

Adoptions Info

Adoptions: Adoption can be a stressful, potentially heartbreaking process, presenting beurocratic challenges and setbacks that most prospective parents never expect. We’re here to help you minimize the stress and make your adoption process as smooth and painless as possible. Our family lawyers help families grow through private and stepparent adoptions. We can also represent parents challenging adoptions to which they haven’t consented, or fight removal and dependency proceedings in cases of alleged abuse or neglect.

Guardianship Info

Guardianship: We help family members step in when the parents are unavailable or unable to care for their children. A legal guardian is responsible for the welfare of minors in their care. Our firm can also assist when a guardianship becomes necessary for an incapacitated adult.

Legal Separation Info

Legal Separation: Where a couple chooses to live apart yet cannot divorce due to religious beliefs or other reasons, a decree of separate maintenance can be obtained which determines the rights of the spouses to separate. This includes issues of marital property, spousal support, and issues of child custody and child support.

Annulment Info

Annulment: We handle annulments with precision, speed, accuracy, and success. If a marriage is invalid because it did not meet Utah’s legal requirements, we can help obtain an annulment that establishes correct legal status of a couple.

Name Changes Info

Name Changes: Whether an ex-spouse wishes to take back her name after divorce, or a custodial parent and child wish to share the same name: we can guide you through the process of accomplishing a legal name change efficiently and successfully.

Prenuptual Agreement Info

Prenuptual Agreement: If one party has significantly more assets or income than the other, a prenuptual agreement can help both parties feel that their rights are protected and that they will not be taken advantage of in the event of a divorce. A prenuptial agreement may be especially useful if one or both spouses have already been through a difficult divorce and are nervous about trying marriage again. Many couples are hesitant to enter a prenuptial agreement because they fear the implications it might have on their relationship. This is a concern we take very seriously, which is why we ensure that both parties are comfortable with the terms and conditions of their agreement.

Domestic Violence Info

Domestic Violence: Utah law allows victims of verbal abuse, physical abuse, or stalking to obtain protective orders that can keep the abuser away from them and their family. The protective order is a powerful tool. At the same time, an allegation of domestic violence can adversely affect a person’s status regarding child custody, child support, spousal support and more. Our Salt Lake City Family Law attorney services represent parties seeking to establish or challenge a protective order as necessary.

We are the Family Law Firm for all Your Family’s Legal Needs

Our family law attorney services strive to meet all your family needs. We are also available to handle estate planning, probate matters, and criminal defense. This includes DUI, juvenile offenses, personal injury, social security disability, workers’ compensation, and a variety of business law topics.

Wade Taylor did a custody agreement for me. He was such a nice guy to work with and addressed all of my concerns. The custody agreement went smoothly I am so happy that I did it! It has made things between my sons dad and I so much easier especially for the holidays.

Consulting an attorney for my divorce was something that I didn't expect to need but it ended up making all the difference. Wade Taylor used his knowledge of the legal system to help me navigate each hurdle my now-ex-wife placed in the way. Mine was not a straight forward case but Wade was there to ensure that nothing was overlooked. Wade focuses on protecting his clients and working towards resolution even in situations where that may not seem possible. If you think for a moment that asking an attorney for help with your divorce may be beneficial, call Wade Taylor and get that help.

Wade Taylor is such a brilliant Divorce attorney! I was referred to Wade by a friend after my Divorce was finalized because so many things did not seem right. He went through everything and told me exactly what should of happened. He made total and complete sense, and I received more substantial information in my 30 minute consult from Wade, then in my year and a half working with my Divorce Attorney! I wish I would have know about him in the first place. My divorce would have ended so much better!! Wade also helped me tie up some loose ends with my divorce. I will go to him for anything else I might need help with.

Nick was fantastic, my only regret was that I didn't contact him sooner. He is extremely efficient, very thorough and made the whole divorce legal process as painless as it could be. His retainer/fees were also very reasonable (I shopped around). Could not have asked for better representation.
