Can I legally record a conversation with my soon-to-be ex-husband without his consent?

I’m meeting him to discuss the care of our child because of the unstable mind set he has. And I want to know if I can legally record our conversation.

In UT, so long as 1 party to a conversation consents to its being recorded, then it is legal. Accordingly, as long as you do the recording and are a party to the conversation, then your husband's consent is not required.
