30 family law attorneys practise in Phoenix, with cases heard in the family court departments of the Maricopa County Superior Court.
Arizona uses its own terms: legal decision-making rather than legal custody, and parenting time rather than visitation. The state is also community property, so property and debt acquired during the marriage are generally divided equally — which makes characterising separate property the main battleground in larger cases.
Maricopa County runs conciliation services and requires parent education in cases involving children. Ask how the attorney uses those processes, and what a realistic timeline looks like on the county's family docket.
