Family Law
-
I am an Arizona State Bar Certified Family Law Specialist and have practiced in this area of law for more than 39 years. I routinely handle matters involving all aspects of child custody, paternity, relocation and interstate custody issues under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), child and spousal support issues, cases with issues of complex valuation and division of property, assets and debts.
-
I currently serve as a judge pro tem for the Arizona Superior Court in Maricopa County, primarily in family law cases. As an adjunct to my responsibilities as a judge pro tem, I have served as a settlement judge for the Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) office of the Maricopa County Superior Court.
-
Guardianship and Conservatorship
-
I also practice in the area of guardianships and conservatorships for minors and adults. This includes initiating the proceeding, complying with annual court filings, litigation issues and termination. Because of my experience as a probate and trial attorney, I am often asked to assist in these types of cases when litigation is required.

When I needed to retain a lawyer to represent my daughter in a difficult divorce, my daughter and I chose Barry Dickerson. We made an excellent choice. Barry is an experienced lawyer and because of that we did not spend time on emotional matters that were irrelevant but instead focused on resolv...
"Barry is a dedicated advocate who will work diligently to assist his clients. Without reservation I strongly recommend Barry to any person in need of legal representation in a family law related matter."
