What does legal separation mean in Arizona?
In Arizona, the difference between legal separation and dissolution of marriage is quite simply that as a dissolution of marriage the persons are restored to the status of single persons. In a legal separation, the person still remain married and there still have to be provisions for child custody, parenting time, child support, spousal support, etcetera. One of the benefits of a legal separation is that the health insurance remains constant for both parties as they are not going to be divorced and not the status of single persons.

Can I move with my kids out of state after a divorce in Arizona?
If you’ve been divorced in Arizona, you are permitted under the statutes to move with your minor children. However, you need to be very careful about how you’re going to proceed in asking the court to do so. There are strict requirements that have to be met, and the standard is clear and convincing evidence that it’s in the best interest of the children to do so. And therefore it is critical that you contact an attorney in order for that to be an effective petition to the court. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

How is child support awarded in Arizona?
Child support in Arizona is fortunately determined by the child support guidelines. These guidelines were created by the Supreme court of Arizona so that people would have a good sense of how much child support they would be receiving and/or paying before they ever got a divorce. The child support guidelines is an algorithm and lawyers have very little leeway in determining how much child support is in fact to be paid. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

What does no-fault divorce mean in Arizona?
In Arizona, a no-fault divorce simply means that neither party is going to be at fault in the eyes of the judge. The reason people get divorced in Arizona is, quite simply, irreconcilable differences. That is the standard that the courts use in order to divorce persons. It is not whether one has had an affair or whether one has went to prison. The standard in Arizona is irreconcilable differences; not the fault of one of the parties.

Who gets to keep the house in Arizona?
In Arizona, how the house is disposed of is very complicated in many cases. A person who is able to refinance the house and actually wants the house will be able to refinance the house and essentially buy out the other spouse from the equity existing in the property. Or, the persons will have to sell the house and any proceeds as a result of equity in the house will be divided equally. But likewise, if there is a deficiency in the property, they will have to split the deficiency among themselves equally. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

How can an attorney help in my divorce in Arizona?
In Arizona, the importance of a divorce attorney is as follows: If both parties are able to agree as to their differences in the divorce, perhaps an attorney is not necessary. But if a party goes out and hires an attorney, my advice is that it is imperative that the other party hire an attorney so their rights are protected. Because if they do not hire an attorney, the things that the other attorney will do, in terms of how to settle the case, the actual knowledge that they have of the divorce statutes will inevitably have a negative effect on the other party. And therefore, the role of a divorce attorney is very important in protecting someone's rights, especially when the other party is represented by council.

What is the Arizona divorce process?
In Arizona, the divorce process goes as follows. A petitioner would file a complaint with the Superior Court of Arizona. After filing that complaint, they would serve the respondent, or the other spouse, at which time that person would have 20 days to file a response to the petition for dissolution of marriage. If the person does not file a response, the parties can be divorced in 60 days pursuant to a default decree. If, however, the person files a response, the case will follow a normal trajectory in the Superior Court which could include a settlement conference, arbitration or in some cases, although not many, trial.

How is debt divided in Arizona?
In Arizona, debt is divided as a community. All debt acquired during the marriage is split equally. However, in many cases one party has racked up significant amounts of debt and there is contention as to whether or not the party who did not rack up the debt should then have to pay for that person's misuse of credit. The courts will hear individuals and in trial to determine if someone has wasted community assets on things that should not have been purchased. If there is a debt problem in your dissolution of marriage, please contact an experienced attorney so that we can assist you on determining whether or not a party has unlawfully secreted assets from the marriage and had too much debt unlawfully.

How much alimony is awarded in Arizona?
In Arizona, what's been commonly referred to as 'alimony' is now turns as spousal maintenance or spousal support. Oftentimes spousal support is a contentious issue because oftentimes men who have been working in the workforce for many years are reluctant to pay their wife or significant spouse some maintenance. The only way to determine how much spousal maintenance and or spousal support should be paid to this spouse receiving the spousal maintenance is to determine what the incurred complete financial picture is of both persons who are getting the divorce.Obviously, if a person needs to receive spousal maintenance because that's the only way they can get back on their feet, spousal maintenance will be ordered by the court.

Who gets the dog in a divorce in Arizona?
In Arizona, property that is acquired during a marriage, including the dog usually is divided by agreement of the parties. But of course there are always the cases in which agreements are impossible. But the last thing that a judge wants to do is intervene on how to divide tangible property from the dog, to the lamp, to the book ends. So what the court will order the parties to do is to make a list, an inventory if you will, and make a decision on what’s most important to each party. And they will hand one party the list and they will check off an item, such as the dog. And then they will hand the other party the list and they will check off the couch. This is how property would be divided if parties cannot be adults and come to an agreement. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

Are DUI arrests handled different than other arrests in California?
In California, if you've been arrested for a driving under the influence allegation, a police officer will treat you the same way as someone who's robbed a bank or murdered someone. You get arrested, you get placed into custody. There are certain circumstances that the courts will determine when you get released from custody, but it's important that you work with someone who is familiar with the driving under the influence rules and regulations, which are very different from other criminal actions. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for DUI, please call.

How do I get an order of protection in Arizona?
In Arizona, the process for obtaining an order of protection is quite simple. The person needs to go to the courthouse, ask the appropriate clerk or staff about how to fill up the paperwork. They will then fill out the paperwork, go before a judge, and the judge will evaluate, expartate which means individually without another person present the merits of the allegations against the defendant. If the judge or the commissioner feels that the order of protection is appropriate, they will grant the order of protection. And by rule of thumb, they will grant the order of protection more often than they will deny it. My name is Mike Baker of The Baker Law Firm.

Do orders of protection work in Arizona?
Orders of protection are very effective in Arizona. The police, and all of the sheriff's departments have databases that keep people who have orders of protection on an online database. This database can be accessed by any police agency. If a defendant breaks that order of protection, they will be arrested, and they will be booked. They will be taken down to a jail, and they will be charged with interference with judicial proceedings. If a person feels genuine and sincere danger or harassment from another individual, an order of protection is a very effective means at protecting one's self.

What happens when police come to your house on a domestic violence call in Arizona?
If a couple, or if a family, gets involved in a domestic violence dispute and the police are called, often times a chain of events occurs that is outside of the control of the individuals who called the police. There are many cases in which partners, spouses, etc. do not want the police to take someone to jail. But once the police have come, once the police have investigated the issue, oftentimes someone will go to jail. And by going to jail, and being charged, there are very serious consequences that need to be discussed immediately upon that happening with the client. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

Can kids be placed on orders of protection in Arizona?
The most common misperception of an order of protection is that children cannot be placed on an order of protection. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on the party, children can be placed on an order of protection and a parent can be wholly prohibited from contacting those children as a result of the current order of protection placed against them. Therefore if a child is placed on an order of protection, it is imperative for that person to contact a lawyer, contact my office, so that we can assist you in getting that child off of an order or protection that often times is unfortunately used as a vindictive means by one parent to prevent access to other child.

What is an order of protection in Arizona?

What is the role of an attorney in a Domestic Violence case in Arizona?
In Arizona, handling a domestic violence matter is often tricky and fraught with various different persons who have interest in the proceeding. A victim might want to be protected but also might want to get back together with a defendant. The defendant might be prevented by terms of their release conditions from even going back to the home where a married couple had been for many, many years. Therefore the role of a defense attorney is two-fold. Its one to handle the actual criminal matter but on the other hand it to act in some sense as a counselor navigating through a process that is unfamiliar. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

Is it possible to create an agreement to avoid an order of protection in Arizona?
Fortunately in Arizona many courts will allow parties and counsel at an evidentiary hearing on an order of protection, to speak frankly and candidly before the order of protection hearing, to determine whether or not the parties are able to settle their differences outside of court. Luckily, my office has been party, or is counsel to many parties, working out these differences and becoming people who do not have a record of an order of protection. I feel great gratification when I can bring, or our office can assist, in bringing two people of very divergent opinions together to agree not to contact one another, but do it outside of the framework of a court order.

Are there happy endings in Domestic Violence cases in Arizona?
Fortunately in Arizona, many jurisdictions for first time domestic violence situations will offer a diversion program for offenders, which would include many, many weeks of education for domestic violence offenders, including anger management, alcohol education, etc. It is very important, however, to understand that these matters will not sound the death knell for families. They can often be worked through and often times the charges will be dismissed. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

What are DUI enhancement charges in California?
There are certain allegations that the law calls an "enhancement". And what that means is that a judge or a prosecutor can ask for more in regards to punishment. For instance, if you're a mother or father or you're babysitting someone who's under the age of 14, they're in a protected category and your punishment can be significantly more severe. If you refused to take a test, then the punishment can be significantly more severe. If you're driving in excess of 20 miles on a surface street or 30 miles over the posted speed limit on the highway, you could be subjected to 60 additional days in custody if you're convicted of that speed enhancement.
