Family Law Services We Offer in Sandy, UT
Family law issues are personal, and every case is different. At Henriksen Law, we focus on providing clear, practical solutions tailored to your specific needs. Here’s how we help families in Sandy:
Divorce
Whether your divorce is uncontested or contested, we handle the paperwork, property division, child custody arrangements, and support issues. Our goal is to make sure your rights are protected and that you can move forward with a fair resolution.
Child Custody & Support
We help create realistic, workable parenting plans that fit your family’s needs and your child’s best interests. Our attorneys also ensure that child support is calculated in accordance with Utah’s guidelines, ensuring fair and equitable support arrangements.
Establishing Paternity
Legal paternity is important for establishing parental rights. We guide you through every step of the paternity process, including testing and filings, to ensure that your rights and responsibilities are clearly defined.
Protective Orders
If you or your children are in immediate danger, we act swiftly to request temporary protective orders. We also assist with long-term protection orders and ensure that custody and support orders are addressed as needed to ensure your safety.
Adoption
The adoption process can be complex, but we are here to make it as smooth as possible. Whether you are adopting a stepchild, a relative, or a child through a private adoption, we will handle the legal steps so you can focus on growing your family.
Guardianship & Conservatorship
If you are caring for a child or vulnerable adult, legal guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary. We will guide you through the process, making sure that all legal requirements are met and that your loved one’s well-being is protected.
Contempt & Enforcement
If a court order is being ignored, such as missed child support payments or denied visitation, we will file for enforcement. We work to ensure that the court order is upheld and that any violations are addressed swiftly, whether through makeup parent-time or financial penalties.
Decree Modifications
Life circumstances change, and your court orders should reflect those changes. If you need to modify your custody, support, or alimony agreements, we can help petition the court to update your orders and ensure they meet your current needs.
Our Step-by-Step Process
At Henriksen Law, we follow a clear, organized process that keeps you informed at every step. You’ll always know what’s happening, what comes next, and how we’re working on your behalf.
Step 1
Consultation and Planning
We begin with a free consultation where we discuss your situation, your goals, and the best options moving forward. From there, we outline a plan to guide you through the legal process.
Step 2
Preparing and Filing Documents
We handle all necessary legal filings, ensuring that everything is submitted accurately and on time. Our team takes care of the paperwork, so you don’t have to worry about missing important deadlines.
Step 3
Serving the Other Party
We ensure that all legal documents are properly served to the other party, in accordance with the law. We file proof of service with the court and keep you updated on the progress.
Step 4
Temporary Orders and Discovery
If immediate action is needed, we file for temporary orders. We also gather and review necessary information to prepare your case for mediation or court.
Step 5
Mediation and Settlement
Many family law cases are resolved through mediation. We help you prepare, clarify your priorities, and work toward an agreement that can be presented to the court for approval.
Step 6
Court Hearings, When Necessary
If mediation doesn’t resolve all issues, we’re ready to represent you in court. We will prepare your case, present your evidence, and advocate for a fair outcome.
