When two people take their wedding vows and promise to love and honor one another until death do they part, they are hopefully taking those vows with pure sincerity. Unfortunately, the everyday trials and tribulations of life can get in the way and the couple can grow apart and ultimately end up divorced.   Utah’s divorce rate is approximately 50% higher than the second highest state in the US.  Many believe that is due to the specific demographics of the state. 

In Utah, 70% of the population is said to be of the Mormon faith. Mormons tend to marry and produce children at a younger age than normal.  The average age at marriage in the US is 25 for a female and 27 years old for a male.  Compare those numbers to Utah stats, where the average age is 21 for a female and 23 for a male. 17.6 % of the brides in Utah are less than 20 years old.  Utah divorce attorneys often find themselves representing these young adults.

For every thousand people in Utah, 4.6 people end up in divorce, and the statistics continue to rise. 72.5% of the divorces are first time marriages for both, while 26.5% are remarriages for either the bride or groom. Of those first time brides, 60% have had at least one year or more of college. 18% of these marriages find themselves seeking the services of a Utah divorce attorney within the first year of marriage, 50% within the first five years and 70% within ten years of saying “I do”.  This can be compared to the national average in the US, where 20% of first marriages are divorced within their first five years and 33% within their first ten years.

Because many of the couples seeking divorce are so young, they have not reached a high level of income. Yet their cases are complex, having to deal with children and custody issues. Over 10,000 children a year are affected by divorce in Utah. These issues make their cases more expensive, which makes it difficult to afford the services of a Utah divorce attorney. At least one party in 70% of the Utah divorce cases does not have legal representation. Judges encourage attorneys to help those unable to afford services with help in the most vital areas.
