Divorce

Utah Divorce Forms: Complete List

Short answer: A basic Utah divorce involves a handful of core forms — a Petition, Summons, Domestic Relations Injunction, and Financial Declaration to start the case, plus a Decree at the end. Utah Courts' MyPaperwork tool can generate most of these for you automatically by asking plain-language questions, rather than requiring you to fill out each one from scratch.

The forms you'll likely need

FormWhat it doesWho files it
Petition for Divorce (1000FA)Starts the case — states the grounds for divorce and what you're asking the court forThe spouse filing first (the petitioner)
SummonsOfficially notifies your spouse they've been sued for divorce and states their deadline to respondFiled alongside the petition, served on the other spouse
Domestic Relations InjunctionA standard order that automatically applies in Utah divorce cases, restricting certain actions (like moving out of state with children or disposing of marital property) while the case is pendingFiled alongside the petition
Financial DeclarationDiscloses your income, expenses, assets, and debtsBoth spouses
Counterpetition for Divorce (1007FA)Lets the responding spouse raise their own requests, not just respond to the petitioner'sThe responding spouse, if they choose to file one
Declaration of Other Parent's Earnings (1004FA)Used where income information for child support calculations needs to be addressedEither party, where relevant
Divorce Stipulation (1001FA)Documents an agreement between both spouses on the terms of the divorceBoth spouses, in an uncontested or settled case
Divorce Findings and Conclusions (1002FA)The court's formal findings supporting the divorce decreePrepared as part of finalizing the case
Divorce Decree (1003FA)The final court order that actually grants the divorce and states its termsIssued to finalize the case

Form numbers (like "1000FA") are Utah Courts' own identifiers — use them to confirm you have the current, correct version when searching the official forms page.

The easier way: MyPaperwork

Rather than tracking down and filling out each form individually, Utah Courts' MyPaperwork tool asks you plain-language questions and generates the completed set of forms for your specific situation — for free. This is generally the more reliable starting point over hunting for each form separately, since it also helps make sure you're not missing something your specific case needs.

Additional forms that may apply to your situation

Depending on your circumstances, you may also need forms related to child custody and parent-time, child support calculations, or temporary orders while the case is pending. See How to File for Divorce in Utah for the overall process these fit into.

Frequently asked questions

Are these forms free? Yes — official Utah Courts forms are free to download and use. You only pay the court's filing fee, not for the forms themselves.

Do both spouses need to fill out the same forms? No — some forms (like the Petition) are filed only by the petitioner, while others (like the Financial Declaration) are generally required from both spouses.

What if my situation doesn't fit neatly into these standard forms? MyPaperwork is built to handle most common situations, but an unusual or complex case is a good reason to get a second opinion from an attorney about which forms actually apply to you.
