Property Division After Breakup

Summary

In Utah, common law marriage requires a court declaration. Without it, unmarried partners generally dont owe assets upon breakup. However, joint property, such as a house, may need division based on contributions and agreements. If you have a written agreement or proof of contributions, you might be entitled to a share. Consulting a lawyer is advisable for a detailed understanding and to protect your rights.
