  Speaker 6: So when we're talking family lots, it's divorce and what
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: what else falls under the family Just giving people.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Ideas of what to call about divorce, custody, parent time,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: child support, anything, you know, property division, any of those
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: type of issues is what we deal with in family law,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: last Will and testament. We do a state work too.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I've had the opportunity to do some with people around
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: all over the state and litigated those cases, some of
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the people in this room and some of the people
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: in this room.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: So let's go we already Okay, let's go to Jeanine. Hi, Janine,
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: how are you today? Doing good? Okay? What's your question
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: for mister Taylor?
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: I have my son. His wife took his daughter out
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: of state without his permission, and he's been working on
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: the last month filing orders trying to get her back.
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: He's filed a tro and that was denied, temporary restraining order,
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: thank you, And he's also filed an appeal to that
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: temporary restraining order and we're waiting on we don't know
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: why we're waiting on the appeal. He has a do
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: we have to wait? What do we have to wait for?
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: Is my big question.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Let's let's go with that.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: First, you're gonna have to wait for the court. I mean,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: that's the reality on any tro is an immediate order,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and if you're appealing it, you're going to be taking
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: it up to the judge, and you're looking at their timeline.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: So he may schedule it quickly, he may schedule it
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: out a bit. But once the initial is denied, then
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you have to wait for a hearing before the judge itself.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: So that's what you're waiting on. And the courts are
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: and the courts are overburdened, Yeah, they are, and they're
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: not quick at getting anything in. If they find that
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the immediate order is denied, then they'll take their time
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: in getting it scheduled. But that's sounds like he's doing
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: what he should be to address the situation.
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: All right, all right, thanks for the help.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: All right, I wish there was a better answer. Yeah. Sorry,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Let's go to Aaron. Hi, Aaron, where are you calling from?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I'm calling from what Jordan?
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Okay, what's your question for Wade Taylor?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Just this last week, I was granted a full protective
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: order for my daughter after four months of a temporary
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: protective order. So I understand I have one hundred and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: fifty days of that. My question is is what are
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: my next steps to change the custody agreement and my
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: divorce decreed. That way my daughter can then live with
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: me full time and not be anywhere near her mother.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: And that's a good question. You have two options. One
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: is you can file a petition to modify and litigate it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: The other option, and which you're going to have to
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: do anyway, is to sit down and try and mediate
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: it out. You will need to file that petition to modify,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: But then I would say, go sit down with a mediator,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: see if you guys can reach your resolution. But within
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that one hundred and fifty days, you do have to
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: file that petition prior to the one hundred and fifty
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: days being up and getting some temporary orders in place
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: or mediating to an agreement.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: And Aaron I would just point out we just had
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: a text or text in and say I use Salt
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: mediation for my divorce and subsequent odro qdro and had
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: a great experience. It was wonderful to work with Marie
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: somebody named Marie, So try try that. So try mediation,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: and I might suggest Salt mediation. Okay, erin all.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Right, so good. I appreciate thank you, yeah, thank you.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: People are lining up with their questions.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Back with Wade Taylor. There are questions of plenty here
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: for Waye Taylor. He's a divorced attorney. It's family law,
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: mediation and law. But if you would allow me before
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: you go to the phone, just one personal question about
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: this you bet for me? Where'd you get your sour dough? Starter?
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I can give you some of my sour I got
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: it from another friend. Yeah, and it just seems to
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: people pass it around. It's like some type of viral disease.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I just pass it around.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: So that's an important question from me. All right, let's
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: get to the phones. Then let's go to Jason. Hello Jason, Jason,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: where are you calling from? Okay? What's your question? I
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: kind a question about cohabitation.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Like, I know my ax is living off and on
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: with her fiance right now, but I don't know what
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: it takes to prove cohabitation in the courts. So the question,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: just so everybody else knows, relates to spousal support. If
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: someone is cohabitating, you typically can terminate support. Uh, it's
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: a lot of factors. Usually most people admit that they're
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: having a sexual relationship, but it's the living together. If
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: they have a separate residence, that is hard to prove
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: that they're actually cohabitating rather than just hanging out and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: staying over while they're there. So that's going to be
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: your key is showing that that is their primary residence.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: So it's just a fact intensive analysis of that portion.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: So okay, continue to look into it and flat out asker.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: I guess all right, all right, thank you later.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Let's go to Milo. Hello Milo, Hi guys, Hey, what's
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: your question? Milo?
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: I have a question for one of my friends. He
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: said that he and his kid's mom were separate for
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: a while and they got back together, but he said,
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: is act at the time put you out support and
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: now they are both in agreement to try to remove it,
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: but they don't know how to do that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: If they did it through OARS, which is the Office
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: of Avery Services, they just simply need to cancel the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: case and that will actually cancel it. If they went
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: through the court system, then they actually need to go
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: through and get an order canceling it. But most likely
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: if there's no custody in parent time, orders. It was
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: done through the Office of Recovery Services, and they just
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: need to cancel the case with them.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: That's pretty easy to do.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. They just need to reach out to
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: them together. It's typically the one receiving the child sport
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: that can close the case.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: All right, there you go, Okay, awesome, Thank you appreciate it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: Kimberly, Hi, Hey, Hey, where are you Kimberly? Where are you?
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: Hi?
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: Where are you going from?
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: Uh, well, downtown, I'm heading to work.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Okay, what what's what's your question for Wade?
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: So I was wondering, what's the next step.
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: I've gotten a judgment in a child support case where
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: there's a lot of arrears, and how do you collect
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: on that judgment? What do you need to file to
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: get the plus start of actually garnishing or starting executive you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Find the biggest, meanest looking guy you can find.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is the hardest thing, because, as any any
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: lawyer will tell you, a judgment is a piece of
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: paper until you can actually collect on it. You'll need
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: to go in and get an order of garnishment from
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: the court that will allow you to bring him in.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: You can collect on his bank accounts, but you need
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: to file a motion with the court to force him
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: to come in and then you can identify what assets
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: you can go after and get an order of garnishment
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: to be able to take it over to a bank
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: account or a bank. But you are faced with the
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: most difficult thing. If ors can't collect it for you
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: again the Office of Recovery Services, then you do have
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: to go through the court.
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, I mean that's the issue that I'm having.
• 8:48
  Speaker 10: So if you have an order from the court, you
• 8:50
  Speaker 10: obviously have to know the information of the other party,
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: like their bank or what you can collect on correct.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's where you need to file a motion
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: to have him appear.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Or he'll be compelled to turn over that information.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, then he's required to turn over that information, but
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: you may need to have an attorney involved for that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: It's actually collecting on judgments is a lot more difficult
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: than people think.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Or if you find a really big looking.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: Guy bill.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: All right, all right. You have questions about mediation of
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: a lot of these A lot of these things that
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: people are calling about it could have been just done
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: away with if they've gone through mediator.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and a lot of them actually, we do deal
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: with a lot of post judgment issues. When you talked
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: about that q d R oh, that's a retirement order, and
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: we do also prepare retirement orders for people to be
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: able to submit them to the court and split them up.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: But when you have a post judgment or a post
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: divorce issue, a lot of people will come in and
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: mediate them and just see if they can work out
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: a resolution, because there are situations where even if it's
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: child support and you're find twenty thirty thousand, you may
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: be able to negotiate something with the other side so
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: that both people come out of it. They may not
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: be exactly happy, but they'll come out with winning in
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: a situation through mediation.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Loreen is here. Hi there, Loreen, where are you?
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I'm in mind?
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Okay, I'll go ahead.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I have a question about child support and
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the father of my child is in Texas. So I
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: feel like it's been really, really hard to get anything
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: moving to oors. I have received random payments here and there,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: and I believe it's simply because when he gets to
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: a certain amount that he owes, he risks facing jail
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: time or possibly having his driver's license revoked and he's
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: a truck driver, so that wouldn't be good. So my
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: question really is do I is it better to just
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: get a lawyer since he's in another state, or is
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: that something ORS actually is going to continue to pursue.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Well, the difficulty you face is he's in another state.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can get a OORS will do the judgment,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: but they still have to work with the department in
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Texas the collects child support, and so you're relying on
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: two different administrative organizations and it's never that effective. So
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: you can get the judgment, an attorney can come in
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: and get a judgment, but even then you'd have to
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: hire an attorney down in Texas to enforce the judgment.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: And so you may want to work with OORS for
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: a little bit longer and then if you don't feel
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: like that's working out, contact an attorney.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, So it would be better to contact an attorney
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: in Texas.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because if you if OS Yeah, if OORS has
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: already obtained a judgment, then you can register it in
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Texas and enforce it there.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: Does the Office of Recovery Services make any recommends, like
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: if you need an attorney in Texas? They don't.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think they'll know anybody down there. You'll
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: just have to find someone that does family law or
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: someone that can collect on a judgment down there.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Or you could hire a really big mean.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Bill and a cowboy hat and swim over to your
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: ex's house and say, all right, thanks Loreen Siah, thank you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: Let's go to Damien. Hello, Damien, Hello, Hey, where are
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: you calling from? Damien? American Fork? Okay, and what's your question?
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: My question is is I just need a clarification on
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: a child's age when they can decide which parent they
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: want to be with.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: That is well, there's a lot of laura around that,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: and really what it says in the statute is when
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: a child is fourteen years of age, the court will
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: give them their opinion greater weight. A child doesn't ever
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: get to decide where they live, but I do tell
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: parties as kids get older, that's the time. If a
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: child is expressing something, go sit down with a mediator
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: see if you can figure out what's going to be
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the best schedule for that child, because at that point
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: in time, once they get to fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, it's
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: more about them than about you having sure quote unquote
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: possession of the child. It's what they need going forward.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: So talk to the other side. And if they're a
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: thirteen year old and they're adultish they act more adult,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: then that even would be a time to go sit
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: down and talk about it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: But if they act like adult, there you go.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: All right, Damien, Thanks Damien, thank you, all right, thank you.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Let's see, here's a text question we can wrap things up.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Is Utah a common law state? How long until you
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: are considered common law married?
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Utah is one of the few states that still allows
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: for a lawsuit over common law marriage. There is not
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: a specific time length. It is you have to put
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: yourself out as a married couple. People have to assume
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: you are a married couple based and you have a
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: reputation of it, and you take on the responsibilities of
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: a married.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: Couple like shared bills, shared.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Bills, you take on the same name, you title things
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: in the same name as mister and missus. So that
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: is it is a fact intensive. Just living together and
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: owning property does not do that all right.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Well, as you can see, folks with salt mediation know
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: what they're doing.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Salt Mediation Group dot com.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Or salt Mediation dot com if that's easier.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: To run mediation dot com. Get yourself some mediation. You'll feel,
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: you'll feel good about it. It Really it is a
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: better way. I mean, there was no my My divorce
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: was just mediated. I just showed up one day, and
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: Bill was his own tough guy. I said to myself,
• 14:59

• 15:03
