One of the issues to be settled in a divorce is the division of property acquired during marriage. Utah law recognizes that both spouses contribute to the property acquired during the marriage, regardless of the income source.
Most trial separations run for about six months. If you're apart too much longer than that, your chances of ever getting back together diminish enormously.
Couples seeking legal separation must resolve issues similar to that of divorce, including child custody and visitation, dividing up property and child support, and paying debts. A separation agreement is a legal binding contract signed by spouses, which is intended to resolve property, debt and child related issues.
Utah is a marital property state. Community property issues can arise in divorce proceedings and after the death of a spouse. When spouses divorce or die, spouses are often left with the daunting task of splitting up property and proceeds that were acquired during the marriage.
Most state courts will automatically enter a divorce decree if the parties have been legally separated for a period of time, often one to two years, and meet the basic eligibility requirements.
Is Utah a community property state? Utah is NOT a community property state, which means that marital property is not automatically divided 50/50 between the spouses in a divorce case.
Only one spouse needs to file for a divorce. Utah is a no-fault divorce state, meaning divorce can be granted without proving who is guilty. Although, if there is serious fault by one spouse that evidence can be used to affect the ultimate judgment, such as in alimony awards or property divisions.
How property is divided in a divorce. Utah law requires an equitable division of marital property. Equitable means fair, which is not necessarily equal.For long-term marriages, equitable may mean a 50-50 split, or the court may decide that it is fair to give one party more or less than 50% of the property.
Cohabitation is defined as two individuals that live together and are not married. According to the Utah Supreme Court case of Myers v. Myers, this is when two people are engaged in a romantic relationship and spend most or all of their time living together.

Note: This summary is not intended to be an all inclusive discussion of the law of separation agreements in Utah, but does include basic and other provisions.
General Summary:
Postmarital Agreements are enforced in Utah as contracts. The parties have a duty to avoid fraud, coersion and material nondisclosure. Although Postmarital agreements may be entered into to be effective immediately, the Court retains jurisdiction with regard to the care and custody of minor children and alimony.
Title 30 Husband and Wife
Disposition of property -- Maintenance and health care of parties and children -- Division of debts -- Court to have continuing jurisdiction -- Custody and visitation -- Determination of alimony -- Nonmeritorious petition for modification:
(1) When a decree of divorce is rendered, the court may include in it equitable orders relating to the children, property, debts or obligations, and parties.
(2) The court may include, in an order determining child support, an order assigning financial responsibility for all or a portion of child care expenses incurred on behalf of the dependent children, necessitated by the employment or training of the custodial parent.
(3) The court has continuing jurisdiction to make subsequent changes or new orders for the custody of the children and their support, maintenance, health, and dental care, and for distribution of the property and obligations for debts as is reasonable and necessary.
(8)(g)(i) The court has continuing jurisdiction to make substantive changes and new orders regarding alimony based on a substantial material change in circumstances not foreseeable at the time of the divorce.
(9) Unless a decree of divorce specifically provides otherwise, any order of the court that a party pay alimony to a former spouse automatically terminates upon the remarriage or death of that former spouse. However, if the remarriage is annulled and found to be void ab initio, payment of alimony shall resume if the party paying alimony is made a party to the action of annulment and his rights are determined. Section 30-3-5.
Custody of children in case of separation or divorce -- Custody consideration:
(1) If a husband and wife having minor children are separated, or their marriage is declared void or dissolved, the court shall make an order for the future care and custody of the minor children as it considers appropriate. In determining custody, the court shall consider the best interests of the child and the past conduct and demonstrated moral standards of each of the parties. Section 30-3-10.
Postmarital agreements, like premarital ones, are generally subject to ordinary contract principles. D'Aston v. D'Aston, 808 P.2d 111, 112-13 (Utah Ct.App. 1990).
