CHILD CUSTODY IN MESA AZ

Regardless of the type of your Arizona family law case is a divorce with minor children or an issue of custody between co-parents, the Arizona family court process is confusing and can get frustrating. During the course of the family law case process, important decisions will be made. These family law decisions can be difficult, many times they become a  painful process as one faces mistakes and learns better to understand the changes needed in one's life or the lives of their children. Developing a parenting plan for co-parents is never a simple or easy task. However, at the end of a family law case, the result should be a parenting plan that the co-parents agree on and is in the best interests of the children involved and will last until each child becomes an adult. As family law attorneys in Arizona we know that evidence of good parenting from reports, documents, social media, testimony, and expert witnesses, and from other sources, is essential to a winning custody strategy. And is essential to fully protect your right to co-parent and enjoy equal access to your son and daughter.

CHILD CUSTODY PROCESS

The whole notion of court-ordered legal control and physical possession of one’s own children is a strange concept for many parents, at first. But most people adjust to the new lexicon quickly and, with the assistance of good lawyers, come to understand why custody negotiations and custody mediation are so very important to a positive outcome. A parenting plan that is best for children and works well for both parents.

Prior to filing for divorce, few parents have reason to think of child-rearing as taking place in two households. However, that is precisely what occurs with most custody arrangements today. Many fathers are very involved in their children’s daily lives before the divorce, and they hope to maintain and build those bonds after the divorce is over.

Arizona law has specific terms for two basic parental roles: legal decision-making and parenting time. Joint legal decision-making and equal parenting time is not at all uncommon, although your case may or may not follow that pattern. Every case is different.

Understandably, discussing these unfamiliar legal concepts with a lawyer and inserting your children’s names can be emotionally draining. It helps to share common ground; attorneys with Stewart Law Group are parents, too. When we say we understand how unsettling this may be for you, we mean it. We appreciate the deeply held values and intense emotions that accompany serious discussions about our children. As divorce lawyers, we will help with every legal aspect of your case. If you desire a referral for additional support, then we can also direct you to divorce counselors and other advisors who can help you manage the emotional turmoil and mental stress associated with divorce and child custody.

As part of the custody case, our legal team works with child custody evaluators, mediators, parenting coordinators, mental health professionals, and best interest attorneys, among others. All of whom may be involved, in one way or another, to help the parties resolve disputes and to assist the court in determining what parenting plan terms are in the children’s best interests. This is a tall order, but we do it every day and do it well.

CHILD SUPPORT IN MESA AZ

Child support will be ordered in conjunction with custody orders. Calculations are made under the Arizona child support guidelines. Because we have such guidelines, child support tends to be one of the more predictable aspects of the case. Although the court may deviate from guidelines for good cause by increasing or decreasing the amount of child support to be paid by the obligor parent.

Child custody determinations can be among the most difficult cases, but there are ways to improve success. Experienced attorneys know best how to help clients negotiate an agreement to a parenting plan. And if an agreement is not reached, how to litigate the important remaining issues strategically and persuasively. Never do the Arizona child custody lawyers at our law firm lose sight of the need to always assist clients in choosing the path that is in the best interests of the children.

SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE IN ARIZONA

In every divorce in Arizona or legal separation, there may be an award of financial support for one spouse to be paid by the other. No, this is not alimony. Instead, such financial support is in the form of spousal maintenance which is ordered without regard to the recipient’s sex or gender. Visit our spousal maintenance information hub for more details.

For the economically dependent spouse, receiving regular support payments is often an integral aspect of a plan for that party’s financial stability and eventual economic independence. Spousal maintenance may be available to help with college tuition, job retraining, or employment rehabilitation. For older spouses who were married for many years, who lack the skills or education to become economically independent, long-term spousal support may be something to ask for. Perhaps paid until full retirement age under Social Security or until private pension benefits are received as part of the retirement division.

For the party who is asked to continue supporting a former spouse, a reasonable plan for how long payments should last, and what the money is intended to provide for, should be carefully investigated and negotiated. The obligor should not be so overburdened with debt that his or her financial stability is jeopardized, especially when child support must also be paid. There is much to consider in determining what is fair and reasonable when it comes to spousal maintenance. Analysis from a vocational rehabilitation expert may be needed, along with other expert testimony.

STRESS AND EMOTIONS IN DIVORCE AND CHILD CUSTODY

Divorce and custody matters are typically stressful and can be emotionally challenging. Because so many of these cases are personal in nature it can cause many to become overwhelmed easily. Each part of the case can require one part of your attention in protecting today's interests while considering your future needs and the future needs of your children.

The mindset you determine to have while you work through sensitive issues now can have a profound effect on future relationships.
