How Family Law Attorneys Can Find New Clients From Court Filings

Divorce, custody, and protective order cases are filed publicly in Utah, and the record names both people and shows whether each has an attorney. What the court does not show is where they live. Family law is the one practice area where addresses have to be found separately, and that shapes how these leads work.

How many family cases are filed?

In our own review of one sample week of District Court filings (September 28 to October 2, 2026), divorce and annulment cases alone passed the 250-case mark where the court's search tool stops, so the real number is higher. Protective order cases were roughly 100 to 125 for the week. These are our observations from one week, not published statistics.

What does a family law filing show?

Each case lists the petitioner and respondent, the case type (divorce, custody and support, temporary separation, protective order, and others), the court, the county, and the filing date. In the cases we reviewed, the petitioner often had an attorney and the respondent did not. Many of the case documents are marked private and cannot be seen.

Why aren't addresses in the record?

For these case types the court's party details leave out the address columns entirely, unlike debt, eviction, or small claims cases. So Revenue Spark finds the address in a separate step: first from our own records of people we have already located, then from a people-search lookup. A lead is only delivered with a complete, verified address, so a filing we cannot locate does not reach you.
