Hello, my name is Douglas Gardner. I’m an attorney with Davis Miles McGuire Gardner in Tempe, Arizona. Prior to going to law school and becoming a lawyer, I worked for several years in the accounting industry. My background is initially in finance. Because of that financial background and the accounting background I’ve been able to help a lot clients with difficult cases involving business, or the sale of houses, and the division of assets and debts. Growing up on a farm, you know maybe working hard on a farm doesn’t directly relate to doing well in court, but the tenacity and the determination and the hard work and the long hours that I developed on the farm is something I carried forward into my law practice. Because the clients that come to me probably are experiencing the worst time of their life, I find it very important to have good communication with my clients. I try to keep them up to date on anything we receive from the court and from the opposing party.
We also work very hard in any case to try to find a way to resolve the case and avoid having to go to trial, if it’s at all possible. Because we try to resolve most cases through agreements early on in the case, I will aggressively represent those clients, but I’ll smile while doing it, because often we can get agreements quicker, faster, and cheaper if we do it in a friendly and courteous fashion.
However, sometimes friendly and courteous doesn’t work and we have to be much more aggressive as we prepare for trial and we will aggressively pursue your case to make sure that you get a fair outcome and that the judge fully understands the factors that support your case. Well, sometimes I say that I’m the “Jiminy Cricket” up on their shoulder whispering the voice of reason to them and clients then can take the emotions that they’re feeling, and the decisions that want to emotionally make, but also combine that with what I’m telling them as far as the financial decision, and the legal decision, and the logical decision they need to make. I’ve been asked by people that work for judges to come in and represent them in divorce cases and that was a tremendous compliment, because they are able to be in the courtroom and see many many attorneys and they called me to represent them in the case. I was recently was called by an opposing counsel in a prior divorce case because that person now was going through divorce case and was looking for me to help represent them in the case.
So if you’re looking for an aggressive attorney to represent you through a difficult divorce, or a complex family law case of any kind, give us a call at (480) 733-6800, or you can visit us online. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing the strategy of your case that we can use to bring your case to an appropriate settlement, or if necessary to bring your case through litigation and trial.

The paternity proceedings in Arizona are controlled by Arizona revised statute title 25, starting at section 801. Mother may file petition to establish paternity and serve the alleged father she believes to be the child’s biological father. If the alleged father files an answer denying paternity, mother may request that the court order the alleged father to submit to a DNA test to determine paternity.
If the alleged father, after being served, refuses to file an answer with the court, mother may request that the court enter a default judgment against the alleged father, establishing by court order that he is the child’s biological father.
Once a mother establishes paternity, then she can proceed to obtain child support against the father pursuant to the Arizona child support guidelines. Please call me at Warner Angle, (602) 264-7101. I can schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss in more detail the necessary steps to obtain an order of paternity and have the court decide legal decision making, parenting time and child support. I look forward to meeting with you.

My name is Kip Micuda. I practice in family law and I’ve been practicing for about twenty-five years now. I can’t think of too many circumstances if any, where the fit between lawyer and client is more important than in family law matters. Family court cases are fluid. They’re constantly changing. The lawyer’s first interest, first obligation is to help the client get where the client ought to be. But, in addition to that, at least for me, having a personal relationship with my client is often very important. I’m trying to create a personal connection with them that leaves them with no doubt that I care about them, I care about their children and I care about their case. And, in doing that I often share with them, my parents split up when I was twelve years old and it was very difficult on my brother and I. At one point, we were asked, which parent do you want to go with and I remember very distinctly telling, both my parents, I’m not picking between my parents. I do have some understanding of what they’re going through and in particular, I have some understanding of what their children are going through. I think it gives me a perspective that lawyers that haven’t been through that, don’t have. Those cases particularly when the children are undergoing some real difficulties, whether it’s trauma from what’s going on between the parents or whatever the case might be. The thing that I always keep in mind is that they rarely have a voice. I tend to take it upon myself that while I’m representing a parent, or a custodian, or a guardian, or a grandparent, whoever, I always try to keep an eye on what’s going on with the children. You’ve just spent a few moments looking at my profile, thank you. I hope that it convinces you that I’m professional, knowledgeable, and that my client’s interests are very important to me. If you’d like to talk to me about representation in a family law matter, I ask that you do so. Please contact me at Hildebrand Law. The phone number is (480) 305-8300. Thank you.

Hi. I’m Mitch Reichman. I’m a state board of Arizona certified specialist in family law, and I practice at Jaburg and Wilk.
The amount of time it takes for your divorce to be finale is different in everyone’s case. It’s driven by a number of factors. The first is whether other professionals need to be brought into the case, such as custody evaluators or business appraisers. They are the major factor in terms of how long it will take your divorce to be finale, is whether your case goes to trial. If we resolve your case short of trial, it will typically take less time. If we have to go to trial, then we have to deal with the judge’s calendar. Most judges are setting trails three to six months out, so by the time you know you need to go to trial you might wait another three to six months, and your case might not be resolved for over a year.
The amount of attorney’s fees you incur in your divorce largely depends on the reasonableness of the positions that each party takes during the course of the proceedings. If your case is a high conflict case and where people take unreasonable positions, it will take longer for us to help you through the process, and therefore you incur more in fees. Truly is impossible to predict in the beginning of your case how much you’re going to incur in attorney’s fees, because we don’t know what positions the other side is going to take. As your case develops, as we get information, we’ll at some point have a good idea of how much you’ll incur in fees and be able to predict that for you.

I want to talk to you today about how you calculate child support in Arizona. The Arizona child support guidelines in turn, use what is referred to as an income shares model for the calculation of support.
We need to know both parent’s monthly gross income, from which a basic child support amount is derived from the guidelines and to that number we add in the cost of health insurance, the cost of daycare and if the children are in private school, then the private school expenses. Then we determine which of the two parents is a primary custodial parent.

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.

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.
