Divorce & Legal Separation

The decision to end a marriage is never easy. It’s a process that involves not just emotional turmoil, but also complex legal procedures. Whether you’re considering divorce or legal separation, it’s essential to understand your rights and the potential implications of your decisions.

At The Armstrong Law Office, we have extensive experience handling both contested and uncontested divorces. We can guide you through every step of the process, from filing the initial paperwork to negotiating terms and finalizing the agreement. We’ll help you understand Arizona’s laws on divorce and legal separation, ensuring that you’re fully informed about your options.

Division of Assets

One of the most contentious aspects of any divorce is the division of assets. Arizona is a community property state, which means that any assets acquired during the marriage are typically considered joint property and must be divided equitably upon divorce. This includes not just physical property like homes and cars, but also financial assets like bank accounts, retirement funds, and even debts.

We understand that this process can be stressful and confusing. That’s why we’re committed to providing clear, straightforward advice to help you navigate these complexities. We’ll work tirelessly to ensure that your interests are protected throughout the asset division process.

Community and Separate Property Issues

Understanding the difference between community property and separate property is crucial in any divorce proceeding. While community property refers to assets acquired during the marriage, separate property refers to assets that each spouse owned before the marriage or received as a gift or inheritance during the marriage.

At The Armstrong Law Office, we have a deep understanding of these distinctions and how they can impact your divorce settlement. We’ll help you identify which assets are considered community property and which are considered separate property, ensuring that you receive a fair distribution of assets.

Spousal Support (Alimony)

In some cases, one spouse may be entitled to receive financial support from the other after a divorce. This is known as spousal support or alimony. The amount and duration of spousal support depend on several factors, including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial resources, and their respective earning capacities.

Navigating the complexities of spousal support can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. At The Armstrong Law Office, we’re here to provide expert advice and guidance, ensuring that your rights are protected throughout the process.

Children & Dependents

When it comes to family law matters, issues surrounding children and dependents are often the most emotionally charged. Whether you’re dealing with child custody disputes, child support issues, or paternity matters, it’s crucial to have a skilled and compassionate attorney by your side.

At The Armstrong Law Office, we understand that your children are your top priority. That’s why we approach these cases with the utmost sensitivity and care, always keeping your children’s best interests at heart.

Child Custody

In Arizona, child custody is divided into two categories: legal decision-making and parenting time. Legal decision-making refers to the right to make important decisions about a child’s upbringing, such as education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Parenting time refers to the actual time each parent spends with the child.

Determining child custody can be a complex process that involves many factors, including each parent’s relationship with the child, the child’s wishes (if they’re old enough), and each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment for the child.

We know how stressful this process can be. That’s why we’re committed to providing clear, straightforward advice to help you understand your rights and options. We’ll work tirelessly to ensure that your voice is heard and that your children’s best interests are protected.

Legal Decision-Making

Legal decision-making is a critical aspect of child custody in Arizona. It refers to the authority to make significant decisions about a child’s upbringing. This includes decisions about education, healthcare, religious training, personal care, and more.

At The Armstrong Law Office, we understand how important these decisions are for your child’s wellbeing. We’ll work closely with you to understand your goals and priorities and advocate for an arrangement that serves your child’s best interests.

Parenting Time

Parenting time is another crucial aspect of child custody in Arizona. It refers to the actual time each parent spends with the child. The goal is to ensure that both parents have a meaningful relationship with their child, regardless of the parents’ relationship with each other.

We understand that every family is unique, and what works for one family may not work for another. That’s why we’re committed to helping you negotiate a parenting time schedule that meets your family’s unique needs and circumstances.

Child Support

In Arizona, both parents are legally obligated to provide financial support for their children. Child support is determined based on several factors, including each parent’s income, the number of children, and the amount of time each parent spends with the children.

Navigating the complexities of child support can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. At The Armstrong Law Office, we’re here to provide expert advice and guidance, ensuring that your rights are protected throughout the process.

Paternity (Establishment and Challenges)

Establishing paternity is crucial for many reasons. It gives a child legal rights and benefits, including child support, inheritance rights, access to medical records, and more. On the other hand, challenging paternity can be necessary in cases where a man is wrongly identified as a child’s father.

Whether you’re seeking to establish paternity or challenge it, The Armstrong Law Office can help. We have extensive experience handling paternity cases in Arizona and can guide you through every step of the process.

Grandparents Visitation (In Loco Parentis)

In Arizona, grandparents can seek visitation rights under certain circumstances. This is known as in loco parentis visitation. To qualify for these rights, grandparents must show that visitation would be in the best interests of the child.

At The Armstrong Law Office, we understand how important these relationships are for children. We’re committed to helping grandparents navigate these complex legal issues so they can maintain meaningful relationships with their grandchildren.

When it comes to matters involving children and dependents, you need a lawyer who is not only knowledgeable about the law but also compassionate and understanding. Contact The Armstrong Law Office today for a free consultation. Let us help you navigate these challenges with confidence and peace of mind.

Orders of Protection

There are times when family law matters escalate to a point where safety becomes a concern. In such cases, obtaining an order of protection can be a crucial step in ensuring your well-being and that of your children. An order of protection is a legal injunction that prohibits the person named in the order from committing acts of domestic violence or from coming near the person who requested the order.

At The Armstrong Law Office, we understand how serious these situations can be. We’re committed to helping you navigate this process swiftly and effectively, providing the legal support you need to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Obtaining an order of protection involves several steps, including filing a petition with the court, attending a hearing, and serving the order to the other party. It’s crucial to have an experienced attorney by your side during this process to ensure that your rights are protected and that all necessary procedures are followed correctly.

If you’re dealing with a situation where you fear for your safety or the safety of your children, don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Contact The Armstrong Law Office today for a free consultation. We’re here to provide the legal support you need during this challenging time.

Post-Decree Modifications

Life is constantly changing, and sometimes those changes require adjustments to existing court orders. Whether it’s due to a change in financial circumstances, relocation, or changes in a child’s needs, post-decree modifications can be necessary to ensure that court orders remain fair and relevant.

At The Armstrong Law Office, we understand how these changes can impact your life and your family. We’re here to help you navigate the process of requesting post-decree modifications, whether it’s for child custody arrangements, child support payments, spousal support amounts, or other aspects of your divorce decree.

Navigating post-decree modifications can be complex, but with our experienced team by your side, you can feel confident that your interests will be protected.
