Seven Must Ask Questions Before Hiring an Attorney

We love Phoenix. This is where we live, the place we call "home." This is where we gather with old friends and make new ones. It is where we raise our families. It's where our kids graduate from high school and matriculate at Phoenix College, South Mountain Community College, or Arizona State University. Phoenix beats steadily at the heart of our busy lives, just as it does for you and your family. At Stewart Law Group, the strong ties we have to the community enhance our ability to do good work for the clients we represent. Valley of the Sun ? this is where our caring legal team has the greatest impact on people's lives. We want the best for our clients and their families, and for the Phoenix neighborhoods where they reside.

Whenever a client needs legal advice, our goal is to assist him or her in overcoming legal obstacles in a positive and meaningful way, with the best possible outcome and with what promises to be a brighter future.

What our Phoenix family law attorneys do promise is to provide outstanding legal representation in everything we do. Each member of our legal team is wholly dedicated to the client's case. Regardless of whether the matter at hand is a difficult civil appeal from the family court's property division in divorce, for instance, or a challenging probate litigation, or even a complex trust matter.

Phoenix Family Defense and Domestic Violence When there is domestic violence, unless the victim (a spouse or other family member, or someone in a current or past romantic relationship with the defendant) seeks help, the painful reality can remain hidden from outsiders. Until the victim obtains an order of protection (OOP) and can contact police should the defendant violate the OOP, the pattern of abuse often continues unmitigated or, worse, escalates. Attending a concert in public at Herberger Theater Center, a victim's new bruises get covered-up with heavy makeup; long-sleeves hide marks and scratches on arms; and large sunglasses hide black eyes. If there are allegations of child abuse or child neglect, then Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) may get involved. DCS may remove the child from an unsafe environment and place him or her in foster care. In some situations, proceedings to terminate parental rights may follow, allowing the child to be adopted. Talk to a Phoenix attorney about the seriousness of such allegations. Why Do I Need A Divorce Lawyer? Family Attorney PhoenixEmotions can run high in the Arizona divorce or family law case. Our legal team is sensitive to the anguish spouses and parents feel. We skillfully assist our clients in negotiating parenting plan agreements and separation agreements. Mediating issues, such as spousal maintenance in Arizona military divorce, as an alternative to litigation, is always an option in divorce. Mediation will be ordered by the family law judge in a child custody dispute, often in conjunction with a forensic child custody evaluation by a mental health professional. Parents can agree on a parenting time schedule, making good on promises to take the kids to the Children's Museum of Phoenix on 7th Street or to the Arizona Science Center on Washington Street. A divorce lawyer at our Phoenix office location will guide the client through all family court proceedings. From petition for dissolution of marriage and responsive pleading, to the discovery of facts and information, testimony and legal argument at trial, and final decree of dissolution. For some clients, attorney representation will continue beyond the decree, through review of the trial court's final judgment in the Arizona Court of Appeals. Why Would One Need A Modification of Child Custody and Child Support Orders? Many of our clients return to us for help a year or more after their divorce was final; or if unwed parents, then a year or more after their permanent parenting plan was ordered following paternity establishment. Parents sometimes need to consult their trusted family lawyers about modifying child custody or child support orders. Getting the court to recognize proper father's rights is also a concern. A client may have plans to relocate with the child. For example, a job promotion along with transfer could mean moving away from Phoenix (where the other parent lives) to a new home in Sierra Vista near Fort Huachuca. The parent's job transfer could involve relocation out-of-state, too. In either instance, the other parent may object to the move away. Objections to relocating the child out-of-state or over 100 miles away from Phoenix, in this example, often stem from the burden relocation can place on parenting time. Frequently, relocation reduces the frequency and quality of parenting time and increases travel expenses. The objecting parent may seek a hearing on the proposed relocation away from Phoenix. Because modified parenting time or legal decision-making authority are possible, if in the child's best interests, discuss options with a family law attorney who has substantial practice with child relocation cases. Family Law Attorney PhoenixPost-decree modification of child custody orders may be raised for other reasons, too. There could be an emergency situation where, for example, the current environment is harmful for the child because of the parent's drug abuse. In all other cases, the court will consider modification only upon a showing that there has been a continuing and substantial change of circumstances. One example of that might be a parent's desire to increase parenting time from every weekend to nearly equal time. An example of changed circumstances? Perhaps the parent finished his or her degree at University of Phoenix and has a new full-time job with weekends off. With a change in parenting time schedule, or the added restriction of supervised parenting time for the parent convicted of drug possession or other offense, then the court may recalculate child support obligations, too. As children develop, especially into the teenage years, their needs and expectations change and, well, they can cost more. As the educational and personal needs of the children change over the years, your attorney can assist with child custody and child support modifications. For example, the child who exhibits extraordinary vocal talent may need private music lessons to continue to excel. If the obligor parent does not volunteer to pay more in monthly child support, then a motion to modify child support under the Arizona Child Support Guidelines could be filed. Consult an Attorney about Family Court, Probate Court, and Estate Planning needs Consulting an attorney with Stewart Law Group means getting helpful information that applies to your specific situation. It is an opportunity to ask questions and learn about the court process involved, whether it be in family court, probate court, or drafting complex estate plans. The attorney you meet will explain the specific legal issues raised in the case. (For example, a probate attorney will explain how a Last Will and Testament is probated after the testator's death.) Other issues may arise after additional information, records, and evidence obtained during discovery comes to light. (For example, in a military divorce where mandatory financial disclosures are made, along with uniform and non-uniform interrogatories.) The initial confidential consultation with the lawyer puts a road map on the table, so the client understands the direction the case must take, the forks in the road, the costs anticipated, and how long it may take for the case to settle or go to trial. Divorce Lawyer Phoenix AZ Our Phoenix attorneys are trained to quickly grasp the situation and begin strategizing essential elements of the civil case. They envision potential solutions early in the process and are skilled at negotiating creative solutions to the most challenging legal issues. When a client's lawsuit does not settle completely, which could happen in any civil case, the outstanding issues must be resolved by the judge at trial. Each of our attorneys has substantial trial experience in the Superior Court in Maricopa County. What Our Clients Have to Say: "I was in need of family law counsel before I got married I did quite a bit of research and the folks at the Stewart Law Group seemed to be the most knowledgeable and friendly over the phone. Now that I have first hand experience dealing with them I can honestly say that everybody I interacted with at the Stewart Law Group was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Robert Howard was my attorney for this matter and he is very well versed and his expertise in family law is something that only decades of experience can produce.
