With established strengths in family law, we offer a wide range of services.

Divorce

Divorce can be one of the most challenging experiences of our lives. That's why at Southern Arizona Law, we offer divorce counsel and full divorce services to help you navigate this complex process. We represent you based on your unique circumstances – including assistance with paperwork and anything else you might need. Our attorneys and professional caring staff are here for you through the entire process. You can count on us for support and guidance throughout this very challenging time.

Child Support and Alimony/Spousal Maintenance

For most people, the court system can be daunting. Luckily, we are here to help! By understanding how child support and spousal maintenance (support or alimony) orders work in the Arizona court system, we empower you with knowledge and have a better chance of obtaining an order that meets your needs.

Property division

You're in the process of divorce and don't want to be taken advantage of. You might find yourself frustrated by how long property division can take when going through it alone. We know that every case is different and can be very delicate, which means our lawyers will work tirelessly on yours until we either obtain favorable outcomes or are unable due to circumstances beyond their control (like being attacked).

Adoptions

We know you want to get your family situation finalized as soon as possible. Southern Arizona Law will do everything in our power (and then some) so that your adoption process can run smoothly from start to finish. With our attorneys working tirelessly on behalf of adoptive families, it won't be long before the final paperwork is signed with a judge!

Order of Protection

As an Arizona resident in danger of being abused, you have the right to get a protective order from your state's courts. The court will be able to create terms that protect you during what can be tumultuous times - like not allowing your abuser access to certain areas or requiring them to stop harassing and stalking methods. We have the experience you need to help you get out of a bad situation.

Parenting Time & Legal Decision Making

Creating a parenting plan is a complicated process. Consult with an attorney to help you create the best possible solution to have adequate quality time with your child. You, as a parent, legally deserve these rights and will need them defended by someone who understands what this is all about better than anyone else would - meaning it's crucial that you hire only a qualified attorney when working out disputes on custody matters!

Child custody and visitation

With the best interest of your children at heart, you can trust that our attorneys at Southern Arizona Law will do everything possible to come up with a custody solution. If you are not awarded full custody of your child(ren), there may likely be questions about what parental visitation rights would look like. Let us help outline expectations and determine how we might establish a fair visitation schedule to better care for both parties involved and their child(ren).

Post-divorce modifications

If you want to modify your divorce order, there are several ways that you can go about it. You have the option of seeking changes to pre-or postnuptial agreements and child support & custody orders! We are here to help you!

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a prevalent issue in family law cases, and if you or someone close to you has been suffering from this type of abuse, our firm can help. By taking necessary steps like protecting your loved ones, we also make sure that the case moves forward quickly & smoothly without any interruption by outside forces.

Family Law FAQs

Family law cases are often challenging and emotionally draining. It should be no surprise that the court staff is trained to deal with these challenging situations while maintaining a professional tone and compassion at the same time. Their main goal is to keep their attention focused on what's best for both parties involved rather than shifting focus between two different sides at any given time.
You could represent yourself during a divorce; however, it is highly recommended to hire an experienced family law attorney specializing in divorce cases. If you run into complex matters during the process, such as a child custody dispute or another critical issue, you have an experienced professional that has your back!
A parent can be deemed unfit when they fail to provide proper guidance, care, or support for their child. If there are abuse and neglect issues with the parent's substance abuse and family problems, that could make someone an unfitting parent.
Yes. Arizona state law requires that one party reside in AZ for at least 90 days before filing.
In Arizona, you can't get a divorce until 60 days after your spouse has served the Petition. This gives both people time to think about how they want their marriage and family life with each other to be in the future. The duration of this waiting period depends on many factors such as the complexity of the case, calendars for court cases, etcetera.
The court will need to consider the incomes of both parties, their parenting schedules, and the needs of any children. In certain circumstances, a judge might be more flexible in evaluating what is fair if they feel it would better serve your situation or show you some kindness based on the facts involved.
