Utah Court Locations and Records

FamilyCourtHelp is an independent educational platform. It is not a court, law firm, government agency, or government partner. We organize and link to publicly available resources published by courts and government agencies. Official requirements may change. Always confirm current requirements with the applicable court or clerk.

Family cases in Utah are heard in the District Court. Utah's District Court hears all divorce and custody cases. Utah's 29 counties are grouped into 8 judicial districts.

The clerk's office is a different thing from the court itself. The clerk accepts filings, keeps the record, and collects fees, while judges and hearings belong to the court. For a filing question, the clerk is the right first call. The official Utah directory and case record search are below.
