Information And Peace Of Mind For People Considering Divorce In Utah

Contemplating divorce is emotionally difficult — and compounded by the fact that most people have no idea what to expect from the divorce process. Before deciding on divorce, it is important to educate yourself. Having an idea of the costs, timeframes and issues that may arise can help you decide what your goals and priorities are and more effectively plan for your future as well as that of your children. As a family law practitioner, Milda Shibonis of Intermountain Legal understands how intimidating the divorce process can be. That’s why she makes it a priority to give her clients the care, attention and peace of mind they deserve every step of the way.
