Practice Areas

Divorce, Dissolution, and Custody

We have extensive experience negotiating, collaborating, and litigating divorces, dissolutions, custody disputes, and equitable property claims. Our goal is to provide compassionate and attentive legal services to individuals facing these, and other similar, difficult life events.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

At times, it is necessary to put your intentions in writing to protect yourself from the worst case scenario. We craft agreements that will help you fulfill your intentions and avoid litigation down the road.

Assisted Reproductive Technology

For many individuals, the dream of bringing children into their lives requires assisted reproductive technology. Reproductive technology offers an alternative route to parenting, whether through donor insemination or gestational surrogacy. Our office drafts, reviews, and negotiates sperm, egg, and embryo donor agreements, as well as gestational surrogacy agreements to help meet your parenting goals and obtain pre- and post-birth orders of parentage so that the child's birth certificate accurately reflects the child's intended parentage.

It is crucial to comply with Utah's assisted reproductive technology laws before you enter into any agreement. Lauren is a Utah fellow of the American Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Law Attorneys and one of Utah’s most experienced attorneys in this area. We will ensure your Assisted Reproductive Technology matter complies with the highest ethical standards and is handled efficiently and compassionately.

Adoption

The process of adoption can be joyful, but it often involves legal complications. We assist and advise families through the adoption process with our extensive understanding of the legal rights and the importance attached to parent-child relationships. We will work with you to obtain legal recognition of your child's relationships.
