A Divorce & Family Law Firm

---

 Getting divorced is an emotionally and legally challenging process. Navigating the divorce process without a lawyer can be difficult, especially if you don't know what to expect. 

 When a couple separates, it can be tough to decide how to divide their assets. Each person may have different priorities and preferences. As part of this process, it is common to divide not only tangible assets like homes, automobiles, and furniture, but also intangible assets like retirement funds, stocks, and bank accounts. 

 Alimony is financial compensation that one ex-spouse pays to another as part of a legal divorce settlement. It is calculated based on each spouse’s income and expenses and is designed to help a financially dependent spouse maintain their standard of living post-divorce.  

 In general, prenuptial agreements can cover any matters that both parties deem relevant when entering into the marriage. This includes financial protection for each party before and during the marriage, as well as providing guidance on how assets should be divided if the couple decides to separate or one of them dies.  

 Postnuptial agreements are not typically used for asset division but instead are designed to help spouses structure their finances during their marriage by setting parameters for things like family budgets, savings goals, debt management, investments, and more. 

 In the state of Arizona, spousal support is governed by A.R.S. § 25-319, which outlines the process for awarding and determining the amount of spousal support that must be paid to a former spouse. It is important to note that in most cases, the court has the final say on how much will be awarded but both parties can negotiate an agreement between themselves if they so choose. 

Child support is not a means for punishing or exercising one’s control over a parent. However, getting the child support calculations wrong could cost you tens of thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your child(ren).  The primary goal is to guarantee that your family has access to all they require to live comfortably and achieve success in life.  

 In Arizona, child custody laws are in place to determine the legal rights of a parent or guardian to make decisions about the medical, educational, religious and childcare for their child. The goal is to ensure that both parents are involved in the child’s life and that their best interests are protected when making these decisions.  

 Father's Rights refer to the legal right of a father to have access and visitation rights with his child. This can include physical time spent with your child, as well as making decisions about important matters such as education and healthcare. Fathers do not automatically have custody rights, but they can file a petition in court to try and gain those rights. 

 Grandparents’ rights can be a complicated issue because courts typically favor parental rights over those of non-parent. However, if both parents agree to grant visitation or if there is evidence that such visitation would be in the child’s best interest then it may be possible for grandparents to obtain legal guardianship or court ordered visitation. 

 If you are looking to modify a court order in Arizona, you are probably feeling overwhelmed. Whether you are seeking to modify parenting time, child custody, child support, or spousal maintenance, the process can be complex and difficult to navigate.   

 Court orders are put into place to ensure that parties involved in family court cases abide by the agreement. But what happens when one party does not hold up their end of the bargain? In Arizona, court order enforcement laws can help enforce these orders and make sure that everyone is held accountable for their actions.
