A wage assignment is something that the court does when the payer of child support is employed, if he has a job, an employer, somebody who pays him salary twice a month or once a month. The court will issue an order to his employer instructing him to deduct the amount of child support on the court’s order for child support from his salary each time a check is written to him.
So it can be twice a month, once a week, once a month and any changes that the employer wants to make, needs to make has to go through the court. If anyone has any difficulty with that, they are free to call us anytime.

A judge can decide a number of things in your divorce case. Most commonly, the judge will divide your assets, the judge will divide your debts, and if you have common children with your spouse, the judge will award child support to the custodial parents or outline parenting time in the parenting plan, but each case is different so you’ll need an attorney that will be able to identify all of your legal issues and make sure that they make it into the decree either by consent or through trial. If you’d like to discuss your divorce case with me, feel free to email me.

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 child support order is one that’s written by a court through and by the use of a child support worksheet. The worksheet itself contains all the statistical data from which the court is able to derive the basis for the calculation and the amount of the child support.
It covers income of the parties, the amount of access of visitation that the non-custodial parent would have and it covers the visitation periods, which causes the amount of child support to go up and down. So, it’s the worksheet that constitutes the basis for the order and the order itself is a simple concise statement of the court’s direction and order as to the amount of money that is to be paid by the payer. If anybody has any questions about the method of calculation, our details of what goes into the figure that’s placed, they can always call our office. We are happy to provide it.

In Arizona, alimony is called spousal maintenance. There are four specific criteria that the court must evaluate in determining whether a spouse is entitled to spousal maintenance, and the central theme is whether the requesting spouse can provide for his or her reasonable needs.
In determining whether a spouse can meet his or her needs, the court can consider that spouse’s sole and separate property, along with any community property that is awarded to that spouse as part of the divorce. If the court determines that one spouse is entitled to spousal maintenance, the court then considers all other relevant factors, including thirteen specific statutory factors to determine the amount and duration of the award.
The factors that potentially relate to separate property include the following: the ability of the paying spouse to meet his or her own needs and still pay something to the other spouse; the comparative financial resources of each spouse; and the ability of the parties to contribute to the future educational costs of their common children. So, separate property can be considered both when determining if a spouse is entitled to spousal maintenance and if so, the amount and duration of the award. If you would like more information, please contact me.

Enforcement of child support is controlled by Arizona revised statute, title 25, starting at section 500. I find that many of my clients need me to return to court to pursue non-payment of a child support obligation.
You can file a petition for contempt, requesting that the court one, determine the amount of child support arrearage, two, enter a finding of contempt, three, order incarceration with a purge clause for the payment of a lump sum amount to satisfy all or a portion of the arrearage, in order to avoid going to jail and four, enter a judgment for the unpaid child support amount with a repayment plan with accruing interest until the arrearage is paid in full.
If the other party fails to appear for court after being served with the petition, the court can even issue a child support arrest warrant. Finally, depending upon the amount of child support arrearage that is owed, the court can order the other party to attend regular monthly hearings through accountability court to monitor compliance with the child support court order. If you want to learn more about enforcing and collecting your child support court order, please contact me at Warner Angle, (602) 264-7101, to schedule a complimentary consultation. I look forward to meeting with you.

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.
