For more than 60 years
Henriksen Law has served Utah families with experience and professionalism. We understand how family law matters are handled in Salt Lake County courts and bring that familiarity to every case we manage for West Jordan clients.
Our focus is simple: clear guidance, thorough preparation, and strong advocacy.
Family Law Services We Offer in West Jordan
Every family situation has its own complications and pathways. We customize our representation to your specific circumstances, whether your matter is straightforward or highly contested.
Divorce
Divorce requires decisions about property, debt, custody, support, and financial stability. Whether your case is amicable or contested, we guide you through each step and work toward a resolution that supports your future.
Child Custody & Support
Custody disputes can be emotional and complex. Utah courts focus on the child’s best interests, and we help you present a parenting plan that reflects stability and involvement. We also assist with accurate child support calculations and resolve income or financial disputes when they arise.
Establishing Paternity
Establishing paternity protects parental rights and clarifies financial responsibilities. We handle filings, West Jordan court procedures, and coordinate genetic testing when needed to keep the process straightforward.
Protective Orders
If you or your children are at risk, quick action is critical. We seek temporary and long-term protective orders and address related custody or support concerns to help restore safety and stability.
Adoption
Adoption should be focused on your growing family, not on confusing paperwork. Whether stepparent, kinship, or private adoption, we manage the legal requirements so you can focus on welcoming your child.
Guardianship & Conservatorship
When a child or vulnerable adult needs protection, we guide you through guardianship or conservatorship filings and court proceedings with careful preparation.
Contempt & Enforcement
When court orders are violated (such as missed support payments or denied parent-time), we file enforcement actions and pursue remedies to restore compliance.
Decree Modifications
Circumstances change. If you need to update custody, support, or alimony, we help you petition the court and present evidence supporting your request.
