Erik Bergstrom

 

About Erik Bergstrom

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.

Experience

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.

How The Courts Determine Spousal Maintenance | Phoenix Family Law

Joel Hoffman

 

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.

Michael Clancy

 

My name is Michael Clancy. I’m an attorney with Hildebrand Law. I practice family law. Being the oldest of five kind of lent itself to be a guardian of sorts and sometimes I take that guardian approach with protecting my clients or protecting the children that are common to my client and their spouse. Children are at the forefront of my practice. Children matter the most because they’re the innocent parties in everything. They didn’t ask for the divorce. But, that person is unique. That person is a human being that has interests, that has passions, that has things they are very concerned about and it’s important for the client’s good to have an understanding attorney who is going to treat their case very uniquely and make sure they represent them with the passion and advocacy that they deserve. Any number of different factors can go into the detail that each case uniquely requires and we found that in being detailed, we are more successful in settling cases than going to trial. There are no two cases, even ones that are very similar to each other, no two cases that are alike. And it’s a good attorney who will look at each case and say this is not your run of the mill case. I don’t believe in that terminology, run of the mill. Your life is individual to you. Ask any court judge and they’ll say, you are in a position to make a better decision for your future than I ever will and it’s our job as attorneys to kind of recognize and tell that to our clients. Our clients know that they have the power to make decisions and we help them make the right one. I strive everyday to get better at what I do and I know that I’m working for a firm now that strives to pay close attention to the details of each individual case and make sure each individual client’s needs are met. If you’d like more information about me and my practice, feel free to email me and I’d be happy to setup a consultation with you.

How Do I Start a Legal Separation | Arizona

Kip Micuda

 

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.

To start a legal separation, please contact an Arizona legal separation attorney.

What is Sole Legal Decision Making Authority | Scottsdale Child Custody

Greg Davis

 

Legal Decision Making

In Arizona, we don’t use the word legal custody anymore. We now refer to legal custody as decision-making authority. Sole legal decision making authority refers to a situation where one parent makes all the major decisions for a child. It’s rare. Most of the time, legal decision-making is joint. For more information, contact me, Greg Davis at Davis Limited, (602) 279-1900.

How To Establish Paternity In Arizona | Phoenix Family Law

Joel Hoffman

 

Paternity Proceedings

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.

Default Judgement

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.

Child Support

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.
