Questions
How long will my family law case take?
Case duration depends on conflict level. Amicable agreements resolve faster, while contested cases may take 60 days to 7 months for trial. Most cases finalize within a year.
What's the difference between divorce and legal separation?
Both address custody, support, and property division, but legal separation maintains marital status while establishing formal rights and responsibilities for separated couples.
Can I modify child custody arrangements after divorce?
Yes, with substantial changes in circumstances. Courts require evidence demonstrating modified arrangements better serve the child's best interests.
How are military retirement benefits divided in divorce?
We handle proper valuation and equitable distribution of military pensions while ensuring compliance with federal regulations and Arizona community property laws.
Can I handle my own family law case without an attorney?
Yes, but courts hold self-represented parties to the same standards as attorneys. Professional guidance helps avoid costly mistakes in complex legal matters.
