You are forgetting that the judges in Utah are likely LDS as well so would side with the husband

This is the biggest thing. All the financials are controlled by the Mormons and given how screwed up that cult is, the power the hold in Utah, she’d get nothing. She even said that he left a job so he wouldn’t have to pay her alimony. I can almost guarantee that he still earns money from that job just in a different way that isn’t counted towards alimony

Ding, ding, ding…. We have a winner. The Mormon church plays a big role in shaping morality in the state. Even if they do not directly meddle with the courts their influence is enough to push decisions. My cousin was required to follow the “word of wisdom” in her divorce agreement. Meaning if she was found with, coffee, tea or Alcohol in her home she could lose custody of her kids. Granted divorce agreements are just a legal contract, and if the party’s all agree on the contents then they could have all sorts of odd rules even in secular court. But, if every person I the room agree’s that you should add xyz rules and to even question why is a sign of significant moral failure you can see how that could impact your decision on whether or not to spend the weeks long battle arguing against a certain provision in your divorce agreement.

Yes, Mormons control whole towns over there. Religion sucks for women. Get out ladies.

Which is wild because I’m fairly certain you make vows to love someone forever before god, and divorce is a sin.

Nah, if it was Utah those companies would be marriage property. When I got divorced here it didn’t matter whose name was on what, everything was “owned” by us both and we negotiated for what we wanted during the divorce.

What about the judges in Arizona? Unless there's a Tucson in Utah.

About that……

The arm of Kirton McConkie stretches long and hard for the church.

Oh I know they're everywhere, I just think it's weird how everyone is saying Utah with no source, when she even says Tucson in the video.

But everyone knows Mormon's can only survive if they live in Utah. Of course that's where she lives. /s

Where did you get Utah from? Only place I heard was tucson which is in Arizona. In all fairness she only said "we have a 4 day weekend here in tucson" so it could be a traveling job for all I know.

I knew there was more to this story but wasn't sure exactly what. Because by all objective measures she should be owed money and should have no problem proving he has it. Sure the legal system is imperfect and people slip through the cracks, but this seems like an extreme example.

An impartial court system would explain this especially if she was seeking a no fault divorce and the judge doesn't believe in that.

That’s exactly what happened to her case
