Child Custody 10%

When children are involved, Arizona courts must make a custody determination. Legal custody involves decision-making authority. A parent with legal custody has the right to make important decisions relating to his or her children. The important decisions legal custody authorizes a parent to make on behalf of their children are decisions involving education, religion, and non-emergency medical care.

Child Support 10%

Determining a proper child support amount is often a difficult process. At a minimum, the court must determine the number of children involved, the incomes of both parents, which parent will provide medical insurance for the child, and the number of annual parenting days each parent will have. Calculating a proper child support amount may be more complicated when one or both parents are self employed, or own their own business.

Divorce and Separation 10%

Mediation provides a good alternative to litigation for many couples going through a divorce. Mediation can take a variety of different forms, and it is almost always less adversarial than traditional dissolution proceedings. For this reason, divorcing couples are oftentimes able to reach a mutually beneficial outcome with mediation.

Uncontested Divorce 10%

An uncontested divorce is generally the least costly type of dissolution proceeding. It is only possible if both spouses agree on the key terms of the dissolution. Unfortunately, in many divorce cases, spouses have difficulty reaching mutual agreements, even if doing so would save them time and money. Spouses create the terms of the dissolution without involving the courts in an uncontested divorce proceeding. The spouses can facilitate the process on their own, or they can retain counsel.

Posted by Tony | December 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Professional and Extremely Effective!

“Divorce is not a pleasant experience under any circumstances. At first, there is a period of disbelief and having to admit to yourself that your marriage is over. For me personally, the beginning of the end was the hardest to deal with. When I finally realized my marriage was over and I needed a com...petent legal team to look out for my interests and the interests of my children, attorney Tim Durkin and his team stepped up and went to work on my behalf. From start to finish, Tim and everyone at JacksonWhite were awesome to deal with. Not only did Tim and the firm provide me with excellent legal services, but they were also compassionate, understanding and supportive of me and what I was going through. This was the worst experience of my life thus far and because of the basic humanity and human compassion of my legal team, it made it easier to deal with and move on with my life, post-marriage. In the court room, I could not have picked more competent counsel. I prevailed in all proceedings and under the circumstances, my case was settled with a very favorable outcome! Tim and his team did an awesome job and I can't thank them enough for not only providing me with outstanding legal representation, but also helping me get through a very difficult time on a personal level.” - Tony M., Chandler, Az.
