In some cases, domestic violence may be the cause for a couple’s divorce. Domestic violence and other criminal charges are all too often associated with divorce in Utah. It is not uncommon at all for a client, men and women both, to contact our office explaining they were charged with domestic violence, served with a protective order, and are going through divorce, all at the same time.
