Awarding Spousal Maintenance in Scottsdale

In Arizona, there’s no specific amount a spouse might receive with respect to spousal maintenance. If you look on the internet, you will find spousal maintenance guidelines, containing a formula. That formula was rejected by the Arizona courts. A.R.S section 25-319(B) governs how much spousal maintenance a court will award. For more details, contact me, Greg Davis at Davis Limited, (602) 279-1900.

Establishing Paternity in Scottsdale

Hello, I want to talk to you today about the importance of establishing paternity in the state of Arizona. If you are the father of a child who is born out of wedlock, meaning the child was born and your were not married to the child’s mother, until you establish paternity, you have no legal rights with respect to that child.

Legal Rights for Paternity

The legal rights which I am talking about include the rights to participate in the child’s medical decisions, the rights to participate in deciding where your child goes to school, the rights to decide the extra curricular activities your child will participate and even the rights to participate in your child’s religious upbringing. Until you establish paternity, you have no rights into any of those decisions and you may not have rights to see your child until you establish paternity as well. If you have any other questions about paternity, please feel free to contact me.

If you need to establish paternity in Arizona, please contact a Scottsdale paternity lawyer.

How is Alimony Determined in Arizona | Scottsdale Alimony Laws

C.D. Owens

 

Determining Alimony

That is perhaps the most difficult question that lawyers and judges have to make in these cases. There are so many variables that have to be considered that I could actually discuss them for the rest of the afternoon. There’s the age of the parties, how long they have been married, there’s how much money does each one of them make.

Alimony Example

For example, if a lady with a 20-year marriage is making $150,000 a year, no judge is going to award her spousal maintenance. His or her attitude will be that she can support herself, as she obviously can. But then after a decision is made whether a party qualifies to receive spousal maintenance, there’s a wide range of other things like standard of living that has been achieved during the marriage, health of the parties. You not only have to consider how much the wife may be earning, but you have to consider how much the payer is earning and whether he could pay spousal maintenance. All of those things have to be considered and we encourage people to give us a ring and talk to us about it.

A legal separation is started much the same way that a dissolution of marriage is started. Either require a petition. The petition in each instance is rather cryptic and simple. There are also documents that attend the petition. There’s a document as to creditors, a document as to health insurance, and a document as to preliminary injunction that applies to both parties once the petition is filed. The process is very simple to start. If you have any questions about filing a legal separation, please don’t hesitate to contact me at Hildebrand Law. The phone number is (480) 305-8300. Thank you.

Spousal Maintenance in Arizona

Alimony, which is called spousal maintenance in Arizona, is determined by the factors outlined in Arizona revised statute title 25, section 319, subsection A and subsection B. The court first looks at the threshold criteria in subsection A.

Eligibility

The court will determine if a spouse is eligible for spousal maintenance after considering the following factors;

  • The property each spouse receives in the divorce
  • If a spouse is a stay at home parent with young children
  • if a spouse contributed to the educational opportunities of the other spouse
  • the reasonable monthly expenses of the spouse
  • the length of the marriage, and the health condition and employability of the spouse

If the court determines the spouse is eligible to receive spousal maintenance, under subsection A, then the court will consider the amount and duration under the thirteen statutory factors in subsection B.

If you call me at Warner Angle, (602) 264-7101, I’ll be glad to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your ability to receive spousal maintenance. I look forward to meeting with you soon.
