Helping Arizona Clients Survive Divorce and Thrive Afterward
Divorce, and its aftermath, can be extremely difficult for parting spouses and their children. In addition to the emotional wounds, there are serious and practical considerations regarding how you will divide your assets, when you will see your children, how they will be supported and other issues.
When a relationship ends with a divorce, it is best to seek the assistance of a family law attorney who can handle important matters for you.
I am Michael D. Miller, a Tucson family law and divorce lawyer. In my more than 35 years as a practicing Arizona attorney, I have guided many clients through uncontested and contested divorces of varying complexities.
Uncontested Divorce
When a divorcing couple has no children and uncomplicated assets, it is often possible to pursue an "uncontested divorce." Such divorces can proceed quickly and easily after the filing of necessary paperwork.
Contested Divorce
This is when a divorce requires substantial negotiations, mediation or a trial. Often, divorcing spouses have fundamental disagreements that they cannot easily resolve. In these situations, opposing attorneys may negotiate on their clients' behalf to find a workable resolution. If settlement is not possible, contested divorces may be resolved by a judge in a divorce court.
My Divorce Representation | Tucson Divorce Attorney
Issues for which I routinely represent divorcing clients include:
- Child custody and visitation. I can help you get sole or joint custody for your child, establish paternity or even work to terminate parental rights in certain circumstances.
- Child and spousal support. I have long assisted local parents with their child support and spousal support concerns. If you need to know how much child support or alimony you might have to pay, or how much you could receive, contact me for a free consultation. I can advocate for payments that work for you.
- Property and business division. In the wake of a divorce, many people worry about what will happen to their personal assets and their business interests. I can use my experience as private investigator to evaluate your assets and determine which items are rightfully yours. I can also look for evidence of improper expenditures, hidden assets and other means the other side may be using to cheat you.
- Modifications. As your lawyer, I can help you acquire a child custody modification based on changing circumstances. I can also represent you in an enforcement action if the other side fails in its duty to comply with the requirements of your custody arrangement.
I typically urge my clients to settle their differences through negotiation, when possible. Negotiating usually costs less, takes less time and is less emotionally draining than a court battle over assets or children.
As your attorney, I can negotiate effectively for your interests. However, if circumstances prevent negotiations, I can aggressively pursue a court strategy designed to get you what you want on your own terms.
