Amy Conlin does not know a thing about Utah's legal system, and she cannot afford an attorney. Yet the 22-year-old Salt Lake City woman was able to file for divorce on her own in an hour (using State of Utah Online Court Assistance Program Application).

The online application system is believed to be the most sophisticated of its kind in the country, said state Court Administrator Dan Becker.

The application database was created by Salt Lake City-based S Square Technologies and includes 25 percent more features than traditional printed forms. New options include an application for alimony and the ability to compute the division of a pension or 401(k) retirement plan, said Kim Allard, a court information service manger.

The system will even compute how much child support should be paid to whom, based on a formula looking at income, assets and who will retain custody.
