How does the judge split our personal belongings?
Most of the time the parties to a Divorce have divided their personal belongings long before they actually file for a Divorce. However, if the parties have not agreed on who gets what piece of property then the judge will try to make an equitable division of any item of property in dispute. The State of Utah is an “Equitable Distribution” state, which means both husband and wife are equally entitled to any piece of property or asset that is acquired during the course of the marriage. Thus, both parties are entitled to an equitable division of all assets and property.
