Phoenix Family Law Attorney
When people get married, it is like a dream. Everything seems perfect. Hopes of the future - children, a home, growing old together - are the only thoughts. Unfortunately, things can change and as years pass and people grow apart they realize the only option for them is divorce. This is hard because usually there is more than just the apartment and cheap futon you had when you were dating. Now there are children, a house, cars, and debts - so many things to worry about. At the Phoenix, Arizona, law office of Rebecca L. Owen, PLLC, we will get you through these difficult times.
Arizona divorce lawyer
When a client hires our Phoenix family law attorney they will have an advocate for them. We will explain the entire divorce process and the various things that need to be settled. Among the items we will discuss are:
Child custody - Who gets the children and how often do they get them?
Child support - How much support is to be paid to the custodial parent?
Alimony/spousal maintenance - Is a person entitled to receive support? Factors such as the ability to support oneself, having to take care of young children, helping put the other party through school or a marriage of long duration could mean the client is entitled to receive spousal support.
Property and debt division - The law requires all property, assets, and debts accumulated from the date of marriage to date a divorce proceeding is initiated to be divided equitably.
As a former member of the military, our Arizona family law attorney also focuses on military divorce law issues.
Solving problems
A lot of times divorce matters are settled through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation. Our Phoenix family law attorney will draft settlement letters and assist clients in the mediation process. If the parties are unable to come to terms, we are experienced and capable in representing clients in a divorce trial. We let the client make the decision, and if they feel trial is the only way to go we will aggressively pursue that option for them.
