    Common Family Law Issues in Arizona

    Alright, let's talk about some of the most common family law issues that people face in Arizona. This is where we see the rubber meet the road, folks. Understanding these issues is the first step toward finding the right solution. Remember, this isn't an exhaustive list, but it covers some of the big hitters:

    • Divorce: As mentioned earlier, divorce is a significant part of what we do. It involves dissolving a marriage legally. The process includes the division of property, debts, and, if children are involved, custody and support arrangements. The specifics can get complicated, but we're here to guide you.
    • Legal Separation: This is like a trial run for divorce. It's where you live apart and resolve issues like property division, child custody, and support. However, you're still legally married. It's a good option if you're not ready to commit to a divorce but need a separation.
    • Child Custody: This is all about determining who makes decisions for your children (legal custody) and where they live (physical custody). This is often the most emotionally charged part of family law, and we handle these matters with care and sensitivity, always keeping the child's best interests in mind.
    • Child Support: Both parents are legally obligated to financially support their children. The amount of child support is usually determined by a formula based on the parents' incomes, the number of children, and other factors. We can help you understand and navigate this complex area.
    • Spousal Maintenance (Alimony): This is financial support paid by one spouse to the other after a divorce. It's meant to help the lower-earning spouse maintain a similar standard of living. It's not automatic and depends on factors like the length of the marriage and each spouse's earning capacity.
    • Property Division: Arizona is a community property state. This means that, in a divorce, most assets acquired during the marriage are divided equally. It's not always a straightforward process, and we can help you identify and value your assets and ensure a fair division.
    • Prenuptial Agreements: These agreements are made before the marriage and spell out how assets will be divided in case of divorce or death. They can provide peace of mind and protect your pre-marital assets. We can help you draft or review these agreements.
    • Post-Decree Modifications: Life changes, and sometimes the orders from your divorce need to be updated. We can help you modify child custody, child support, and spousal maintenance orders if there's a significant change in circumstances.
