- DKDevin Van KomenSep 8, 20255.0Absolutely amazing attorney. Helped me with my divorce and offered some of the best advice I didnt ever think I would get from an attorney. And the best part was it all worked to get a much better outcome. He is extremely knowledgeable and willing to call you out on your BS which ultimately helped to calm the waters so we could get to more peaceful resolutions. Will only be going back to David if I ever need a lawyer!
- TMTangee McMahonAug 26, 20255.0I can’t say enough good things about David. From the very beginning, he is very personable, understanding, and easy to talk to during what was one of the most difficult times of my life. He took the time to really listen to me and explain my options. What stood out most was how much he went above and beyond when he truly didn’t need to. Whether it was answering questions quickly, guiding me through the process with patience, or anticipating things I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. I never felt like “just another case.” He genuinely cares about each situation. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only professional and knowledgeable but also compassionate and dedicated, I highly recommend David.

Frequently Asked Questions About Law Office of David Pedrazas, PLLC
Is it possible to handle my divorce outside of court?
In the state of Utah, all separating couples are afforded the opportunity to file for a contested or uncontested divorce. Although rare, an uncontested divorce would allow the couple to negotiate the terms of their separation outside of court. This means that both parties must be willing to cooperate under constructive circumstances, as this type of arrangement will not be successful if the couple could not come to an agreement about contentious issues like property division and child custody. If the separation is amicable, however, the only time that they would need to step foot in a courtroom is to obtain the final approval of a family law judge.
What should I do if my ex-spouse has stopped paying child support?
If the court has ordered your ex-spouse to pay child support, he or she is legally obligated to do so. Should your ex-spouse fail to uphold his or her end of the bargain, you would have the right to bring this to the attention of a judge. In doing so, you could rely on the court to hold the nonpaying party in civil contempt until he or she cooperates, garnish his or her wages, intercept his or her income tax refund or even place a judgment lien on his or her property — each of which would help you to secure the money that you are owed. If you think that the issue can be worked out amicably, however, this is also recommended.
What are the benefits of filing for a legal separation in Utah?
In the state of Utah, you can acquire a legal separation in one of two ways: temporary separation or separate maintenance. Temporary separation can be beneficial for couples who are planning on divorcing but want to enjoy the benefit of having court orders concerning child custody, alimony, child support and property division. Oppositely, separate maintenance is a practical solution for couples who wish to live apart but would prefer not to file for divorce — usually due to religious prohibitions against it. Both can be advantageous for numerous different reasons.
My ex-spouse is trying to relocate with my children – what should I do?
If your ex-spouse is planning on relocating with your child, he or she is required to notify you of the move at least 60 days prior. This means that you should have time to challenge the proposed relocation — as long as he or she is planning on moving at least 150 miles away from your current residence. Since the other parent would not have the right to uproot the child without the approval of a family law judge, a hearing will be held to discuss the matter. If the judge does not think that moving is in the child’s best interests, he or she can prohibit such action.
