Judge: Patrick Corum
Court: Third District Court, Salt Lake Department, Salt Lake County, Utah
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney:
Description: Salt Lake City, Utah family law lawyers represented wife and husband in divorce involving minor children and child support.
Drew E. Lunt challenges alimony and child support awards entered in Megan Lunt's favor as part of their
divorce action. He argues that the trial court erred as a matter of law when it determined the parties' financial needs and gross incomes. He also challenges the court's valuation of his business, arguing that the court erroneously determined that only 5% of the business's value is attributable to his personal goodwill.
Lunt v. Lunt, 2024 UT App 148, 20220596-CA (Utah App. Oct 18, 2024)
Outcome: Because the trial court's determination regarding the parties' financial needs was based on a misapplication of law, we reverse and remand the matter for the court to enter the requisite findings and to reevaluate the alimony award. But we otherwise affirm the trial court's decisions.
