My name is Erik Bergstrom. I’m a partner at Warner Angle, practicing in family law. With every case, I like to get to know my client, their particular situation, what their concerns are and what their goals are. That way we can form a more combined, joint approach to resolving their case. I think that clients who retain me appreciate an attorney who works closely with them and is in constant contact with them. I do believe that once clients meet with me, get an understanding of the law and the process of divorce, that they leave my office much more relieved and feel that somebody is looking out for their interests and is going to protect them through this trying time. I enjoy practicing family law because I like helping people who are going through a difficult time in their lives and going through a complicated and uncertain process. I feel that I’m very good at explaining matters to clients so that they have a clear understanding of what lies ahead and what the likely resolutions of their case might be.
I have handled and I enjoy handling the more complicated divorce cases. These often involve division of business interests, division of retirement accounts, valuation problems and the like. Whether your case is straight forward or complex, feel free to call me to schedule a consultation in my office. I’m happy to meet with you to review the issues in your case and explain the applicable law and the divorce procedures.

Parenting time is perhaps the largest factor affecting the amount of child support a non-custodial parent will pay. The more parenting time days one spends with the children, the bigger the discount off the presumptive child support amount. For more information, call me, Greg Davis at Davis Limited, (602) 279-1900.

Hello, I want to speak today about whether you are required to report child abuse and if so to whom you report that concern about child abuse. Unless you are a mandatory reporter or the care provider for a child, you do not have an obligation to report a suspicion of child abuse to law enforcement or child protective services.
Although, as parents and members of our community, we would hope that we would all report any concerns of abuse you may not be required to do so. A mandatory reporter in the state of Arizona however, must always report a concern of child abuse.
Mandatory reports include, but are not limited to teachers and school personal, medical personal such as nurses and doctors, counselors and psychologists, any care giver for a child, such as a day care provider or any other person who is in the position of caring for a child. If you have any other questions regarding whether you have a duty of reporting suspected child abuse, please feel free to contact me.
For more information on whether or not you are required to report child abuse in Arizona, please contact a Scottsdale child abuse lawyer.

As you might imagine, parenting time or the enforcement of parenting time is an issue that we deal with frequently. There’s a couple ways to deal with it. First, and the way that we prefer, is to be able contact the other party, or perhaps their attorney and try to resolve the issue informally. That can result in an agreement between the parties, it can be approved by the court and you’re essentially done. A more formal process is to file a petition to enforce parenting time. That petition itself is generally, fairly brief and fairly simple. However, the process of getting a court order on that petition can be rather involved and rather significant. If you have any specific questions or have other requests, please don’t hesitate to contact me at Hildebrand Law. The phone number is (480) 305-8300. Thank you.

In a divorce without minor children, you will file a petition for dissolution of your marriage and request a division of community assets and debts, an affirmation of your sole and separate property, an award of spousal maintenance if applicable, and perhaps, reimbursement for your attorney’s fees and costs.
If your divorce involves minor children, then your petition will ask the court to additionally determine child custody, which is now called legal decision making, parenting time and child support. You file your petition with the superior court in the county where you reside and serve a copy on your spouse.
The soonest you can get divorced in Arizona is (60) sixty days from the date your spouse is served. If your spouse does not file a response in the proper time frame, you can request that your spouse be defaulted and proceed to a default hearing before the court. If your spouse files a response, your case can be resolved by two options; agreement or trial.
If you reach an agreement, a consent decree can be prepared and signed by both parties and then submitted to the court for the judge’s signature and there is no need to appear in court for a trial. If you cannot reach an agreement, the court will set the unresolved issues for trial. If you want me to explain in detail the divorce process, please call me at Warner Angle, (602) 264-7101 to schedule a complimentary consultation. I look forward to meeting with you.

My name is Joel Hoffman. I’m a family law attorney at Warner Angle and I’ve been practicing family law in Arizona for over thirty years. I always return my client’s calls everyday. Sometimes I even surprise my clients because I call them in the evenings and on weekends. And the main compliment that I seem to always get is that I am caring, compassionate and a strong advocate for my clients and I find that provides me with getting them excellent results. I over-prepare for my client’s cases. I know the cases backward and forward and I’m able to give an incredible presentation to the court. Well, I can tell you I’ve had many sleepless nights over some of my client’s cases.
Sometimes, I feel like I worry about my client’s cases as much, if not more than the clients themselves. I find that when clients come into my office, they have lots of concerns and emotions. And so my job is to try and give them some sense of independence, a sense of empowerment, some guidance and some focus, so they can get through one of the most difficult periods that they will ever face in their entire life. I really take it to heart. It’s something that really bothers me that I go home at night and I really am dedicated and concerned for their well being and really try so hard to get them a favorable outcome in the court, so that when they leave my office and have finished the divorce process, they can go on and start a new chapter in their life. If you call me at (602) 264-7101, at my law firm, which is called Warner Angle, I’d be more than happy to schedule a complimentary consultation to answer all your family law questions.

A very common question we receive is, how long will it take to finalize my divorce case. In Arizona, the short answer is that it has to take at least (61) days. By statute, the court cannot grant a divorce until 60 days after the case has been filed, and the other person has been served, or notified of the case, and so especially in simple cases where the parties can reach an agreement, we can often finalize those cases in (60) to (90) days.
With more complicated cases, especially those cases where we have to gather documents, and we have to gather evidence, and we have to prepare witnesses, and we have to prepare for trial, those cases can take (4) to (6) months and even in certain cases, up to a year. Now, if you’d like more information about your divorce case, please contact us (480) 733-6800, or you can visit us online.

A parent granted sole custody, now referred to as sole legal decision-making, has the authority to make final decisions regarding the major life decisions affecting the parent’s children. Such as where the children will attend school, the healthcare the children receive, and the extracurricular activities the children will participate in regardless of the opinion of the other parent.
The other parent is still entitled to obtain information regarding his or her children’s performance in school, performance in extracurricular activities and healthcare from the other parent or directly from the provider of those services. Legal custody means the right and responsibility to make decisions for children, barring any specific court orders to the contrary.
Sole legal decision-making provides one parent to make the final decision on big day to day decisions for the children’s care and welfare without consulting the other parent, including education, medicine, and religion.
Examples where the court may award sole legal decision-making, would include those times where you have drug and alcohol abuse by one parent or the other, substantial child neglect or abuse claims, or convictions, domestic violence where the children were present, harmed, or in danger. As well as child endangerment, including DUIs while having the children in your car.
The visitation parent is expected by the court to conform to big decisions by the sole legal decision-making parent in all day to day decisions when children are with him or her. The exception to that would be private school. Sole legal decision-making parent cannot require the other parent, known as a visitation parent, to contribute to the cost of private-schooling if enrolled without the consent of the visitation parent or the court per the child support guidelines.
School records are also an area where both parents have access to records regarding the children, including medical records, school and extracurricular activity records. Those records are available through the sole legal decision-making parent or from the provider of the service. Except in cases where courts find giving one parent access to records creates a danger to the children. If you are in need of a professional or experienced attorney to represent you and your children’s best interest in any family law matter, please call Alan Cochran at Hildebrand Law PC at 480-305-8300 to schedule an appointment.

Genetic testing generally comes up in the context of a paternity petition. A paternity petition can be filed during a pregnancy or after the child is born. Once the child is born, the court is going to order genetic testing. The court will order the mother, the child and the potential father to undergo testing. The court has complete discretion as to assigning the cost of that genetic testing. It can assign the cost to the mother, the father, or split the cost somehow. Another context where genetic testing may come up is when the department of economic security is looking to establish paternity. In that case, DES will shoulder the cost of the genetic testing. If you have any other questions concerning this matter or any other family law matter, please contact me at Hildebrand Law. The phone number is (480) 305-8300. Thank you.
