Herriman Fathers Rights Attorney
Herriman, incorporated in 1999, is one of the newest and fastest-growing cities in Salt Lake County, spread across the southwest bench of the valley. The Law Offices of Jolley & Jolley represent fathers in Herriman and throughout Salt Lake County in divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, and protective order matters.
If a Herriman case does require a court hearing, it falls under Utah’s Third Judicial District Court, which covers Salt Lake, Summit, and Tooele Counties. In practice, though, much of family law — the paperwork, negotiation, and mediation that resolve most cases — is handled without a courtroom appearance, and many hearings that do occur are held by video.
Herriman sits on the southwest bench of the valley from our Sandy office; it’s a bit of a drive, but much of a case — consultations, paperwork, and many hearings — can be handled remotely so distance rarely gets in the way. Our goal is to give a Herriman father a clear picture of where he stands and a sensible plan for the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where would my Herriman family law case be heard?
Herriman is in Salt Lake County and served by Utah’s Third Judicial District, which keeps courthouses in West Jordan and downtown Salt Lake City. In practice, much of family law is handled through paperwork, negotiation, and mediation rather than a courtroom appearance.
Does Utah law favor mothers over fathers in custody cases?
No. Utah bases custody decisions on the best interests of the child, and the law does not prefer either parent because of gender. A father who is actively involved in his children’s lives stands on equal footing, and our job is to help document and present that involvement.
Do I have to go to court to get divorced in Utah?
Often, no. If you and the other parent can reach an agreement, an uncontested divorce can usually be completed through paperwork, sometimes without a court appearance. A hearing becomes more likely only when there are disputes the two sides cannot resolve on their own.
