Understanding Divorce and Dissolution of Marriage

What is Divorce?

Divorce is the legal termination of a marriage, addressing key issues such as property division, spousal support, child support, and child custody. Arizona is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that neither party needs to prove fault to end the marriage.

Legal Separation vs. Divorce

If you’re not ready for a divorce, a legal separation can be an alternative. It allows you to define your rights and responsibilities while remaining legally married. This option may be ideal for couples with religious, financial, or personal reasons for staying married.

The McLeester Law Approach

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation where we assess your situation, answer your questions, and outline your options.

Step 2: Filing and Response

We assist with filing a petition for divorce or responding to one. Our team ensures all legal documents are prepared and filed accurately.

Step 3: Resolving Issues

Through negotiation or mediation, we work to reach agreements on key issues like property division, child custody, and spousal maintenance. If necessary, we provide aggressive representation in court.

Step 4: Finalizing Your Divorce
