Tempe AZ Divorce And Family Law

Our lives do not always go as planned. As fallible human beings, we sometimes make poor choices. That’s true for the good people of Tempe just as it is for those living and working in every Arizona community. A marriage unravels and divorce proceedings begin. A romantic relationship leads to the birth of a child, paternity establishment, a custody determination, and child support orders. Our Tempe divorce lawyers are experienced and knowledgeable in all aspects of family law, and can help you navigate through the process.

How Do I Choose the Best Tempe Divorce Lawyer Near Me?

Persistent conflict (or more subtle indicators that the marriage is not right, or both) may push spouses to the breaking point and final separation. When the relationship falls apart and parties begin the process of assessing their circumstances and dividing everything acquired during the marriage, reality sets in. Living separately by maintaining two households intensifies financial pressures. Life seems out of control. Each new day brings greater uncertainty and worry. We want to answer your questions and concerns, including:

  • How will community debts be paid?
  • Can one spouse be ordered to pay for all or some of the other spouse’s family attorney fees and costs?
  • How will military divorce papers be served on a service member who is deployed overseas?
  • How long does a divorce take? How much will it cost?
  • Could interim spousal maintenance or temporary child support be ordered while the case is ongoing?
  • Will you lose a portion of a pension or retirement plan if it’s a divisible community asset?
  • How to make sure that a father gets equal family rights treatment under the law?
  • Who stays in the marital home and who leaves?
  • Must the house be put on the market right away or can the status quo be maintained for six months, a year, or longer?
  • How do you go about negotiating a settlement over property division and other family matters?
  • What if my divorce goes to trial?

Be wise. Consider your options. Settling a divorce can be a lengthy process taking anywhere from a few months to two years depending on whether it is contested or not. Get all of your questions answered before making important decisions about your family’s future. Find out precisely what your marital rights are in Arizona law (and the other spouse’s) by consulting a top Tempe family law attorney.

Although the future is never a certainty, a fair and workable resolution of all divorce issues should lay the groundwork for a successful transition to the next stage of your life. Our Arizona family lawyers will stand by you every step of the way. By counseling you on what the law is. By protecting your legal rights. And by aggressively representing you in court.

Top Family Law and Child Custody Representation Near Tempe

Did you promise your youngest birthday tickets to a Spring Training game? Do you fear the other parent might alienate your child from you? Divorce can change long-term plans for children, too. Is your oldest graduating from Tempe High School this year? (Go Buffaloes!) How will a degree program at ASU be financed without additional support from the other parent? How can you be assured the money will be there for your child? Your future depends in many ways on the decisions you now make.

Moms and Dads, do you know how to present your case for a desirable parenting time schedule? For many reasons, child custody decisions are among the most challenging for parents, attorneys and judges alike in divorce proceedings. Especially when parents have different ideas about how a son or daughter should be raised and who that child should live with most of the time.

Don’t shy away from difficult circumstances like the ones mentioned above. In our experience at Stewart Law Group, the best possible outcome always requires planning and a sound legal strategy put together by your divorce lawyer. Although the judge may make some very close calls regarding a parenting plan, winning the case is not about luck. It’s about preparation and planning every alternative. Hopes alone won’t put your family on the right path to a better future. When seeking a custody arrangement that is truly in your child’s best interests, have a divorce attorney analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your case and that of the other parent.

We assist each client in negotiating workable solutions to matters involving legal decision-making authority and parenting time, division of debts and assets, child support and spousal support, and other serious issues. Should it become apparent that negotiations with the other spouse’s lawyer will not resolve every issue, we are fully prepared to litigate aggressively on our client’s behalf.

Going to Court with Your Tempe Divorce and Family Attorney

Another important aspect of the case is an attorney’s knowledge and familiarity with the court where the case is brought. Knowing the judge’s idiosyncrasies and expectations, along with past rulings with prior clients, can help avoid problems and disappointing results. Our Phoenix divorce lawyers are very familiar with all of the courthouses in Tempe AZ.
