QUESTION

What can be my best option so that our divorced will be finalized?

Asked on Oct 05th, 2013 on Divorce - Utah
More details to this question:
Filed for divorce, saw Judge and took the papers back to clerk to enter the decree but, 13 years later I noticed that it wasn't signed by the Judge. I called the court house and spoke to a clerk and she would look it up and get back to me. Two weeks later she called and said the Judge didn't sign any paperwork in my case, she stated he was still there and would have him sign my decree and call and send a copy, it never happened. My Mother was diagnosed with cancer during this time and I didn't follow up. Jude never signed decree and itโ€™s been 24 years, Judge is retired.

File a Motion with the clerk of court, use original file number. Be as specific as possible as to details (dates, names). Schedule hearing and pray for understanding Judge.

Retain an attorney to confirm no judgment entered and, if not, whether judgment can now be entered because of the mistake.

Set up a hearing so you can stand in front of the judge and make sure he signs it.
