Demar D. Jones, Plaintiff and Respondent. v. Harriet H. Jones, Defendant and Appellant

Summary

The Utah Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s property division but reversed the alimony award, finding the latter an abuse of discretion. The Court held that the trial court failed to apply the statutory three‑factor test for alimony and remanded for further findings. It also clarified that when asset values are contested, detailed findings of fact are required for appellate review.
