Dissolution of Marriage
Dissolution/Divorce/Legal Separation
In Arizona, a marriage is dissolved by the Courts, which results in a Dissolution or (Divorce) of the marriage. To file in Arizona, you must be a resident of Arizona at least 90 days prior to filing and your marriage must be "irretrievably broken without any prospect of reconciliation". There are many issues that must be resolved in any Dissolution proceeding, which may include Legal Decision Making/Custody of Children, Parenting Time, Child Support, Spousal Maintenance, the Division of Property, Retirement Accounts, Debts and Marital Waste. A Legal Separation resolves all the same issues as a Dissolution, only the marriage legally stays in place. At Overstreet Law we can help you resolve all of the issues a Dissolution or Separation presents.
Child Custody/Parenting Time
Legal Decision Making/Custody-Sole vs Joint
In Arizona, Legal Decision Making/Custody can be granted Jointly to the parents, who would then share in the responsibility of making major decisions on behalf of the child.(i.e. education, medical and dental). Conversely, Sole Legal Decision Making/Custody is where only one parent has the authority to make those major decisions. At Overstreet Law we can help develop the facts of your case to determine what type of Legal Decision Making/Custody is appropriate to request. Decision Making/ Custody does not refer to the amount of time a parent spends with a child.
Parenting Time refers to the actual time that each parent will spend with their child. There are regular schedules for day-to-day parenting time and then there are holidays schedules to be determined.
Spousal Support/Child Support
Calculating Support Issues
Family Support calculations take into account many numerical calculations and are based upon the facts of your case. The most important aspect of calculating and argueing support issues, is having the experience in determining which factors in a case will be most important and how to accentuate them.
