Can I get a divorce without any complications if we have been separated 12 years?

Divorce lawyer at Joanna Mitchell & Associates, P.A.
If your Wife is in agreement and is willing to cooperate, then the process should be relatively simple, straightforward and quick. It would probably only take a couple months to finalize. However, you must be in 100% agreement on all matters. If not, you'll need to file for divorce and serve her and proceed as a traditional divorce. Length of separation doesn't change the fact that you're still legally married.

Do I have to appear in person at any time during the process of divorce?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
It depends upon many factors as to whether you would be required to actually appear in court. It it is a completely uncontested matter, you may not be required. If there is just one issue that the court must decide, then your appearance will be mandatory. So, in order not to appear, everything needs to be agreed to in a separation and property settlement agreement. If you have children, it gets a bit more complicated, but everything can be agreed to and a basic uncontested procedure can be followed. It also depends upon whether the particular judge will enter a judgment on a motion for judgment on the pleadings.

Can we get a divorce without going through a paternity test?

Answered by attorney Eric K Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Utah Family Law LC
Yes, in Utah, if both the husband and wife agree that the child with whom the wife is pregnant is not the offspring of the husband, then they can indicate this in their pleadings in the course of getting divorced and asked the court to declare the husband not to be the father of the wife's child with whom she is currently pregnant. Not only can the husband and wife agree to have the court ruled the child not to be fathered by the husband, but if you don't make this known to the court at the time of the divorce and have the court declare the child not the offspring of the husband, then the child will be *presumed *to be the offspring of the marriage, and the husband will be obligated to support the child as his own. If you are thinking of getting a divorce under the circumstances by doing this yourself without an attorney's assistance, I would strongly advise against this. This is a tricky situation that will benefit from a knowledgeable attorney's assistance in drafting the documents needed.
